The project, upon completion, will include a pre-treatment section where the incoming waste will undergo a pressing phase. The resulting liquor will feed into an anaerobic digestion section, where biogas will be produced and subsequently refined into biomethane. The digestate will then be directed to a solid-liquid separation section. The solid portion will be sent to the aerobic composting section, which involves treatment in biocells, a maturation phase, and a subsequent refinement phase aimed at producing compost. Meanwhile, the liquid portion will proceed to a treatment section equipped with a first stage of MBR (Membrane Bioreactor), a second stage of ultrafiltration and osmosis, and a third evaporative stage. The clarified effluent will be reused for industrial purposes.
