Waste as a resource

Separate collection of household food waste is to be implemented in EU by 2023. Biogas plants treating this feedstock are relatively complex and require a customised process solution for pre-treatment and fermentation. The Krieg & Fischer engineers have many years of experience in planning of biogas plants and can offer competent expertise. Our latest project processing this waste stream is biogas plant in Huntstown, Ireland, that recently started operation. The 90,000 t/a of organic waste (biowaste and waste from the food industry) will be anaerobically fermented and pre-treated with thermal pressure hydrolysis (TDH). Gas is utilised in 2 x 2,4 MWel. Following successful cooperation on UK JCBE DERBY Biogas Plant in 2018, this is the second project developed with the general contractor Jones Celtic BioEnergy.
