SUMMARY:WBA Training | Designing a Biogas Plant: Key Engineering Considerations with Mario A. Rosato | Tuesday 25 February 2025 | 13:00-17:00 GMT
DESCRIPTION:Experience shows that some biogas plants suffer from major design flaws. Although anaerobic digestion is an apparently simple technology\, some plants tend to underperform\, because they were designed with a “one size fits all” approach. \nThis online training will outline some fundamental design considerations\, that should be kept in mind by decision makers. Providing guidelines for assessing the feasibility of anaerobic digestion of residues and organic waste feedstock. We will also discuss key engineering considerations\, dimensioning factors and process layouts. \nWho should attend:\nPublic officers;\nbiogas plant owners and operators;\nconsultants;\nengineers and constructors. \nBasic knowledge about anaerobic digestion and biogas plant management required. \nProgramme \n\nPeculiarities of different waste types\nFrom waste to energy and fertilizers: general process layout\nPretreatments to increase the BMP: cost vs performance\nOverview of digester technologies: choosing the most suitable one for your specific case (CSRT\, PF\, UASB)\nProper dimensioning of the digester\nDesulphuring systems\nFertilizers from digestate\nCompost and biochar\nOdour prevention and treatments\nDigestate treatments and destination\n\nSpeaker: Prof. Eng. Mario A. Rosato\, author of “Managing Biogas Plants – A Practical Guide” (CRC Press\, 2017)\, has a wide ranging experience in anaerobic digestion\, with a specific experience in plant diagnostics and process control. As a biogas expert\, he actively participated in the working group that created the new UNI 11703:2018 standard for biomethane potential assessment (BMP) \n

SUMMARY:WBA Training | Managing Summer Temperatures & Biological Health | Tuesday 8 October 2024
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nTuesday 8 October 2024\, 11:00-15:30 (BST time zone) \nThe training is delivered by Angela Cronjé\, a chemical engineer with 20 years experience in organic waste processing on operational plants.  \nThis training is about the effect of temperature variation on biological health and gas production for AD. AD plants are typically built with lots of insulation to keep substrate warm even in cold winter temperatures\, but this can contribute to increasing tank temperatures and biological risks in the hotter summer months. Gas production can also suffer when process temperatures drop due to low ambient temperatures or failures in heating systems.

SUMMARY:WBA Training in Spanish | Technical Aspects for Implementing A Successful Biogas Project | Thursday 19 Sep 2024
DESCRIPTION:Please note\, this training event will be in Spanish. \nAspectos Técnicos a Considerar para Implementar con Éxito un Proyecto de Biogás \nExisten cinco familias de digestores\, pero el 90% de las plantas de biogás europeas pertenecen solo a una de ellas. En la mayoría de los casos\, el diseño de la planta está optimizado según el criterio o la conveniencia del constructor\, o para sus tecnologías o patentes\, o en función de acuerdos comerciales con sus proveedores de componentes. Tal definición de “óptimo” no significa que el resultado sea óptimo para el contexto específico del cliente. Soluciones que se consideran “el estándar de mercado” en un país no necesariamente son adecuadas en otro. El conocimiento de cómo evaluar la solución más adecuada para un determinado contexto es entonces crucial para obtener el máximo retorno de inversión. \nEn este curso aprenderá los principios fundamentales de la tecnología de digestión anaeróbica y cómo gestionar el proceso biológico y el sistema de purificación del biogás. \nPROGRAMA DEL CURSO \nParte 1: Fundamentos de la biología de la digestión anaeróbica (DA) \n1.1 Comprender la DA y su jerga técnica: HRT\, CRT\, COD\, TS\, VS\, TOL\, OLR\, etc. \n1.2 Tipos de digestores\, ventajas y desventajas de cada uno\, dependiendo del substrato de alimentación \n1.3 La dieta óptima para el digestor: medición del  BMP (biochemical methane potential) de la biomasa de alimentación ANTES de la construcción \n1.4 Errores frecuentes en el diseño de  plantas de biogás \n  \nParte 2: Gestión de los procesos de Digestión y Purificación \n2.1 La estabilidad biológica del digestor \n2.2 Problemas frecuentes del proceso biológico y cómo prevenirlos \n2.3 Tecnologías de Desulfuración: una breve revisión de las ventajas y desventajas de cada una \n2.4 Tecnologías de purificación del biogás : una breve revisión \n  \nThere are five different families of digesters\, but over 90% of biogas plants in Europe belong to just one of them. In most cases\, plants are engineered and optimised according to the constructor’s criteria\, or its proprietary technology or patents\, or the agreement it has with the suppliers of components. Such a definition of “optimum” does not mean that the final outcome is optimum for the specific context of the customer. Solutions that are “the market standard” in one country are not necessarily suitable elsewhere. Knowing to evaluate how to choose the most suitable solution for a given context is then crucial to get the highest return from the investment. \nLearn about the basics of anaerobic digestion technology and how to manage the digestion process and biogas purification in this training course. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda \nPart 1: Basics of Anaerobic Digestion Biology \n1.1 Understanding AD and its technical jargon: HRT\, CRT\, COD\, TS\, VS\, TOL\, OLR\, etc. \n1.2 Types of digesters\, advantages and disadvantages of each one\, depending on the substrate \n1.3 The optimum diet for the digester: measurement of the BMP (biochemical methane potential) of the feedstock BEFORE the construction \n1.4 Common mistakes in biogas plant design \nPart 2: Managing the Digestion Process and Biogas Purification \n2.1 The biological stability of the digester \n2.2 Frequent problems of the biologic process and how to prevent them \n2.3 Desulfurisation technologies: a short review of the pros and cons of each solution \n2.4 Upgrading technologies : a short review \n

SUMMARY:ADBA Training | Biomethane Grid Injection | Tuesday 17 September 2024
DESCRIPTION:The subject of the course is “Biogas\, Biomethane and Grid Injection;  Background\, Overview and Opportunity.” It covers the technicalities\, process and procedures for biomethane-to-grid projects as well as the benefits to be gained. \n \nPurpose \nThe course will provide an understanding of opportunities and the means by which biogas manufactured from waste can be upgraded to make biomethane and to meet the various standards for entry into the existing gas supply network – this is to displace the equivalent quantity of fossil gas and hence support Net Zero initiatives.  Also\, the course will explain how the value of biomethane sold into the market (and support from the Green Gas Support Scheme) generates an income stream. \nAgenda \n1.
