In Chlef, the management of urban solid bio-waste is limited to "all in controlled landfill or in wild landfill". This bio-waste can be treated by composting-methanization. With this in mind, two temperature regimes were chosen, the mesophilic regime (35°C) and the thermophilic regime (55°C). The choice of a neutral pH is an optimal value indicating the stability and the good progress of the anaerobic digestion. As well as monitoring the parameters of the composting process. The results of the composting process show that the values of temperature (35°C to 62°C), pH (5 to 8), moisture content (60% and 40%) and percentage of organic matter (74% to 41%) indicate that the fermentation process is going well. The composting process enters the cooling phase after 60th day of fermentation. While the results of the methanization show that a substrate with an organic matter content of 73% causes an accumulation of acids in the digester and a stop of the reaction in mesophilic conditions. Therefore, the thermophilic mode is more suitable for the anaerobic degradation of raw bio-waste. The tests were conclusive in obtaining a flammable biogas. The values of the VFA (Volatile Fatty Acid)/ACT (Alkalimetric Title) ratios below 0.1 show the good functioning of the anaerobic digestion. The methanization of two masses of substrate at the beginning and during the cooling phase of composting allows a gain in residence time, thus a lower energy cost. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Gazy odnawialne stopniowo pojawiają się na europejskim rynku energii jako możliwe alternatywy dla gazu ziemnego. Wśród gazów odnawialnych wyróżnić należy: biogaz, biometan, wodór oraz syntetyczny gaz ziemny (synthetic gas). Bardzo wyraźnie akcentuje się przyszłościowy charakter gazów odnawialnych i ich ważną rolę nie tylko w pokryciu zapotrzebowania na energię w Unii Europejskiej, ale także w zakresie ich wpływu na klimat i możliwe przyczynienie się do osiągnięcia celów porozumienia paryskiego z 2015 r. Produkcja, dostawy czy przesył gazów odnawialnych siecią gazową to obszary, które przynajmniej w minimalnym zakresie muszą zostać uregulowane. Ustawodawcy europejscy powinni również zadbać o odpowiednie zachęty do produkcji i wykorzystania tych gazów, takie jak na przykład zastosowanie systemu zielonych certyfikatów, zwolnień podatkowych, preferencyjnych taryf w zakresie dostępu do sieci czy dofinansowania, w szczególności dla projektów innowacyjnych. Niniejszy artykuł analizuje obecne regulacje w tym zakresie i przedstawia propozycje, które mogą zostać wdrożone, gdy rynek gazów odnawialnych stanie się bardziej rozwinięty.

En France, la méthanisation agricole représente l'un des principaux leviers d’action pour atteindre les objectifs « biogaz » dans la production d’énergies renouvelables. L'agriculture génère en effet d’abondantes ressources exploitables pour la production de biogaz par méthanisation. En croisant différentes bases de données de la statistique agricole et les pratiques d’élevage recensées sur le territoire français, les auteurs nous proposent ici d'évaluer le potentiel du gisement énergétique des effluents de bovins, et d'analyser les conditions pour mieux mobiliser cette ressource sur le territoire.

The effects of a mechanical process were determined on the solid fuel quality and anaerobic biodegradability of hazelnut and olive pruning. Both the feedstocks did not meet the specification for industrial and residential pellets given in the European Standard EN ISO 17225-2, because of too high ash and nitrogen content. The coarser products from processing were notable for the high reduction in both the ash and nitrogen content. Therefore, as regards hazelnut, they met the requirement of the Standard for both the industrial and residential pellet, whereas those from olive processing met the requirements for the industrial pellet. The finest products showed a high concentration of nitrogenous matter and smaller C/N ratios, far better for anaerobic digestion. The best products from hazelnut and olive achieved methane yields of 118.1 and 176.5 Nm3 tVS -1, respectively, corresponding to 70.1% and 93.5% gains over the untreated substrates. The process was highly energy efficient, since consumption was low compared with the energy output from the residues of fuel upgrading, intended for anaerobic digestion. The investigated process could be successfully used to improve the fuel quality of pruning and to generate products suitable for anaerobic digestion and the production of advanced biofuels.

The subject of the study is the profitability of selected substrates used in agricultural biogas plants. Dry matter, organic dry matter, COD, total nitrogen, organic acids, biogas potential and methane content in biogas were investigated in the analyzed substrates. The measurements for biogas potential were performed as a batch-test at 38°C. The results enabled to estimate the energy balance, which was the basis for economic calculation for each of the analyzed substrates. As a result of the analysis it was found that maize silage provides the highest energy gain, while the lowest energy gain is acquired from cattle slurry and whey. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The research carried out in this work determined the biochemical methane potential of the solid fraction remaining after acid fermentation with the recovery of volatile fatty acids and hydrogen, in which kitchen waste was used as the substrate. The methane fermentation process was carried out in bath bioreactors without pH regulation during the process, with the addition of digestate sludge from wastewater treatment plants and without its addition, at various substrate concentrations. It was found that the solid fraction after acid fermentation with the addition of digested sludge, is a good substrate for biogas production. The highest biochemical methane potential of 640 cm3 CH4×gsmo-1 was found in the process in which the waste solid fraction after acid fermentation concentration was 100 gm×dm-3.

The aim of this paper was to study meat industry wastewater treatment efficiency during fermentation process in ASBR reactor and post-treatment in UF process. The anaerobic process obtained a considerable degree of the removal of organic pollutants from raw wastewater designated as COD (73.3%), BOD (71.4%) and TOC (83.2%). The concentrations of COD and BOD were 435 and 443 mg/dm3, respectively. The value of TOC reached a level of 136 mg/dm3. Generated biogas in the methane fermentation process of wastewater from meat industry plants was characterized by high methane content (80.9% vol.). In the final part of the experiment, the UF process was used in order to post-treating effluent from ASBR reactor. During the UF process, COD, BOD and TOC parameters were removed at 67.2%, 68% and 70.4%, respectively.

The study evaluated possibilities of using sorghum biomass as a substrate for production of methane in agricultural biogas plants. Five different sorghum varieties, cultivated at two different localisations: Straszków and Śmiłów were analysed. The analysis of biochemical methane potential (BMP) indicated that in both localisations the best results were achieved in the case of Sucrosorgo variety of sorghum. Yield of methane from hectare was 8586 m3 ha-1 year-1 in location Straszków, and 7859 m3 ha-1 year-1 in location Śmiłów. The lowest yield from hectare and the lowest efficiency of methane from hectare in both locations were registered for the Akklimat variety (2320 m3 ha-1 year-1) and Nutri Honey (2762 m3 ha-1 year-1). The comparative analysis of the ERoEI index proved that the Sucrosorgo variety is definitely the most effective (8.71 at the Straszków location and 7.97 at the Śmiłów location) from the others in terms of energy efficiency. The energy efficiency of this variety is nearly four times higher than the least effective (Akklimat - 2.34). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This experimental study carried out on the scale laboratory and reveals the main results of the anaerobic digestion of the effluents from food industry. In this study, it consists of a mixture of apricot and orange juice. The parameters that affect directly the fermentation process have been monitored, such as: growth, chemical oxygen demand (COD), pH. The cumulative biogas volume found was about 23055NmL, it was reached after 552 h of digestion in acid medium. In such case, the degradation of the organic matter reached about 60%. Furthermore, the methane content was measured using a (GC/MS), it was found to be of the order of 71%. The kinetics of biogas production was modeled with the modified Gompertz model. A good agreement between this model and the experimental data was obtained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Un des intérêts de la méthanisation est qu'elle peut participer à un recyclage extrêmement rentable des déchets. De fait, les collectivités ont un rôle à jouer dans ce processus car elles génèrent de nombreux types de déchets. Mais dans quelles mesures leur participation est-elle actuellement intéressante ? La volonté d'aboutir à une plus grande efficacité induit des changements de comportement de la part des foyers et des institutions. Quels sont-ils?

Les régions Pays de la Loire et Bretagne sont les premières régions d’élevage en France, avec une forte présence des industries agro-alimentaires. Face à ce constat, ces deux régions ont un fort potentiel de développement de la méthanisation. Les schémas régionaux climat air énergie (SRCAE) se sont penchés sur cette question. Des études sur les filières de méthanisation ont été réalisées dans ce cadre, et les principales données issues de ces études sont présentées ici.

Le développement de la méthanisation dépend de plusieurs facteurs. Il s’agit, entre autres, des ressources disponibles, de leur proximité, des caractéristiques de l’économie locale et de leur impact sur le processus de décision. Ces éléments doivent nécessairement être pris en compte pour une mise en place pertinente de centres de production de biogaz. L’analyse menée en Pays de Fougères envisage tous ces points et permet de dégager différents scenarii.

Pour assurer l’équilibre économique des unités de méthanisation, l’ajout de co-substrats est en général nécessaire. Pour les choisir, deux questions se posent aux porteurs de projets : quelles sont les caractéristiques des co-substrats disponibles et quel est l’impact des mélanges sur le fonctionnement du digesteur. Le présent article se propose de répondre à ces questions sur la base des résultats du projet Biodecol2.

Les technologies liées au procédé de méthanisation se développent depuis peu. Elles transforment les substrats organiques utilisés, modifiant plus ou moins leurs caractéristiques et leurs impacts environnementaux. L’analyse du cas du lisier de porc illustre ces modifications et leurs conséquences.

De nombreux pays européens s’accordent sur le fait que la méthanisation est un réel atout pour le développement durable. Les différentes approches qu’ils mettent en œuvre sont autant de modèles intéressants à étudier. En effet, quelles prises de positions par rapport aux points positifs et négatifs de ce procédé dénotent ces choix ? Dans quelle mesure permettent-ils une mise en perspective constructive pour l’avenir de la méthanisation ?

L’Allemagne est un leader mondial dans le domaine de la méthanisation. Cela est du au fait que le pays, dans sa volonté d’abandonner l’énergie nucléaire, a énormément valorisé la recherche en nouvelles technologies pour les énergies renouvelables. Quelles sont ces découvertes ? Un système de rémunération visant à encourager le développement de la méthanisation a également été installé. Quels en sont les effets ?

En France, et ce principalement pour des raisons économiques, la méthanisation des boues d’épuration est encore peu appliquée dans les stations de petite et moyenne capacité. Pour améliorer le bilan économique de la digestion anaérobie des boues d’épuration dans ce type de station, il est possible de compléter les alimentations du digesteur par d’autres substrats organiques à plus fort potentiel énergétique et déjà présents sur le territoire. Quels sont les impacts de tels procédés et comment optimiser leur intégration dans la filière de traitement des eaux ?

La mise en place et le développement de la méthanisation sont intrinsèquement liés à des questions géographiques et aux prises de position des institutions. Il est intéressant d’observer comment cela s’opère en Italie, de voir où les priorités sont placées et quels choix sont fait, notamment ici dans la région de Vénétie.
