One reactor was fed with source sorted organic wastes and a second reactor was fed with mixed organic wastes consisting of grey wastes, mechanically selected municipal solid wastes and sludge. The two reactors utilised the same process (Valorga) and operational conditions at full scale. The results of the study emphasise the influence of the kind of treated material on the process performances, especially in terms of biogas and methane production, thus, energy reclamation. The reactor treating the source sorted organic waste and the reactor treating the mixed organic wastes generated some 200 m 3 and 60 m 3 of biogas per ton of waste treated, respectively, while the specific methane production was some 0.40 and 0.13 m 3 CH 4 /kgtvs, respectively. The mass balance and the final fate of the digested material from the two reactors were also clearly different. As for the costs, these were some 29 e per ton of treated waste (50% for personnel) and 53 e/ton for disposing of the rejected materials. Incomes were some 100 e/ton (on average) and an other 15 e/ton came from green certificates. The initial investment was 16 million Euros.

In fact, the claimed hydrogen economy is now under construction (Turner, 2004) and still dependent on fossil fuels (Muradov and Veziroglu, 2005). Therefore, in the meanwhile, the exploitation of alternative renewable energy sources is of particular importance, especially within the European Union. In fact, it is a declared target of the EU of reaching the production of some 15 million of equivalent tons of petrol per year by means of renewable sources. Anaerobic digestion of organic wastes for biogas production, which is now a reliable technology as confirmed by the growth of full-scale applications in Europe in the last decade (De Baere, 2000; Mata-Alvarez et al., 2000; Mata-Alvarez, 2002), can be the driving force for reaching this result. At present, the global treatment capacity of anaerobic digestion processes is some 2.5 million ton/year of municipal organic wastes. A half of this capacity has been gained in the last three years. Some 1.2 million ton/year of treated waste originates from separate and source collection and the same amount originates from mechanical separation from unsorted municipal solid wastes, demonstrating that anaerobic digestion processes are suitable for both situations (De Baere, 2004). With specific reference to the strategy used for waste collection, it has to be noted that this can be considered the first treatment step for the waste (Cecchi et al., 2002) as it determines different yields of doi: /wst
2 the anaerobic digestion processes (Pavan et al., 2000; Saint-Joly et al., 2000; Bolzonella et al., 2003a,b; Mace et al., 2003; Bolzonella et al., 2005) and a different final fate for the treated material, i.e., composting and land application rather than incineration or landfilling. High yields, in terms of biogas production, and good compost production are generally associated with the treatment of separately collected (SC-) or source sorted (SS-) municipal organic waste, while the mechanically sorted organic fraction of municipal solid wastes (MS-OFMSW) gives poorer biogas production and a residual material which should be disposed of in landfills or incinerated (CITEC, 2004). With specific reference to the full-scale industrial application of the AD processes, at first, because of the historical background, more reactors adopting the wet processes (, 10% dry solids in the reactor) were applied; since then, dry digestion (more than 25% dry solids in the feed) has prevailed because of the reduced volume of reactors and wastewater production. Most applied technologies for dry processes are Dranco, Valorga, Linde and Kompogas, all working in the range 30 40% of total solids in the reactor feeding. Figure 1 shows the different digester designs for these firms (from Lissens et al., 2001). The experience presented in this paper deals with the study of the yields and process performances of two full-scale reactors applying the mesophilic dry process (Valorga) in the Bassano treatment plant (north-east Italy) and treating two different substrates: one reactor treated the source sorted organic fraction of municipal solid wastes (SS-OFMSW) while the second reactor treated the residual organic fraction originating from the mechanical treatment of grey waste mixed with mechanically selected organic waste (MS-OFMSW) and sludge. Both the reactors were monitored for some one year of operation in steady-state conditions and a comparison between the yields of the two reactors and other full-scale applications was determined. Experimental The design capacity of Bassano plant was some 52,000 tons per year: 44,000 t/y of MSW to be treated in a mechanical selection line for the separation of the organic fraction to be digested and 8,000 t/y of selected organic municipal solid waste, both originating from the city. Moreover, the treatment of 3,000 t/y of sewage sludge was considered. The plant is constituted of a sorting line for the removal of inert material, three 2,200 m 3 reactors and a dewatering section followed by a composting area for the complete 24 Figure 1 Different digester designs used in dry systems (A illustrates the Dranco design, B the Kompogas and Linde design, and C the Valorga design) (from Lissens et al., 2001)
3 stabilization of the digested organic material. Biogas is burnt to produce heat and power in co-generation units. The reactors work in the mesophilic range of temperature adopting the Valorga process. When the plant was still under construction the strategy of waste collection in the area was changed and the differentiation of waste streams was introduced. Because of the difference between the design and the actual situation, in these two years, the plant has been treating some 16,000 tons per year of source sorted organic fraction of municipal solid waste (SS-OFMSW) in one reactor and some 22,000 t/y of grey waste (the residual MSW after the separated collection of the organic waste), together with some 9,500 t/y of mechanically selected organic wastes (MS-MSW) originating from other treatment plants and 3,000 t/y of sludge in the other two reactors. The grey fraction still contains organic matter which contaminates other inert elements like plastics, making very difficult their possible recycling or disposal in landfills. If the grey fraction has to be disposed of in landfills or incinerated or used as packing material for soil restoration, then the organic matter should be stabilized prior to the final disposal (Mace et al., 2003). The typical composition and the characteristics of the two main wastes treated at Bassano plant are reported in Tables 1 and 2. In particular, Table 1 reports the typical composition of the two main streams of wastes, while Table 2 shows the total solid and total volatile solid content of the two wastes. With reference to the data reported in Table 2, it has to be emphasized that the high content of volatile matter for the grey wastes is due to the presence of paper/cardboard and plastic material rather than to organic biodegradable material. The values in the tables are in the typical ranges reported for these types of materials (Cecchi et al., 2002). Because of their characteristics, the two wastes underwent different treatments prior to being fed to the anaerobic digesters. In particular, the SS-OFMSW is treated using a simpler sorting line: bags containing waste are broken and the organic material is sent to a first riddle for the separation of inert material, then to a magnetic separator for the removal of metals and is then minced (final size of some 10 mm) prior to being fed to the digester. The grey MSW is sent to a breaker for opening the bags and then to a first riddle, then to a metal separator, to a cutter, to a secondary drum-screen and is then treated in a densimetric separator for a further removal of inert material prior to being fed to the digester. Metals are then disposed of and the other inert material is used as refuse derived fuels (RDF) in incineration plants. Despite its characteristics the grey waste can be still considered for the AD process: in fact, beside the organic material, which can be sorted from the inert material, the paper and cardboard also show a certain anaerobic biodegradability with biogas production (Saint-Joly et al., 2000). During the observation period, both the digesters were monitored through a complete set of analysis, considering mass balance parameters (TS, TVS, biogas production) and stability parameters (temperature, ph, alkalinity, VFA).

In both the reactors part of the effluent streams and some warm water were added in order to reach a total solid concentration of some 30% in the fed material and the requested temperature in the influent material. The typical biogas productions compared to the feeding loadings for the two reactors are reported in Figures 2a and 2b. With specific reference to Figure 2a, where the biogas production is reported for the reactor treating the mixed wastes, it is important to note that the variability of biogas production has to be ascribed to the variability of the MS-OFMSW present in the feeding: in fact, the organic material from the grey wastes showed a constant rate of some 20 tons per day and a biogas production of some 1,600 2,000 m 3 /d, while when feeding the MS-OFMSW the biogas production varied, reaching peaks of some 4,000 5,000 m 3 /d. The peaks of biogas production are related to the quality of the influent material rather than to the amount of fed material. On the other 26 Figure 2 Load of material (tons per day) and biogas yields for the two reactors treating the grey material (2a) and the SS-OFMSW (2b)
5 hand, when considering Figure 2b, which shows the data for load and biogas yields in the reactor treating the sole SS-OFMSW, it is evident how this material can give yields as high as 10,000 m 3 /d when feeding some 50 tons per day for a couple of weeks. That is a specific production with peaks of some 200 m 3 /ton of wastes. Here, it is evident the relation between the peaks of loading and the peaks in biogas production. Table 3 reports the typical yields observed in steady-state conditions in the two reactors during a period of one year of operation as well as the operational parameters of the reactors. As for the loads and feed characteristics, in terms of total and volatile solids and for the operational parameters (temperature, HRT, OLR), the two reactors worked in the same conditions. Also the typical process parameters for process monitoring, ph, alkalinity determined at ph 4 and 6 and VFA concentration, showed similar values. Alkalinity, in particular, showed very high values compared to those reported for the anaerobic digestion of differently sorted organic solid wastes (Bolzonella et al., 2003a), while the concentration of the total VFAs were in the typical range for this kind of wastes when operating in steady-state conditions (Mace et al., 2003). However, with specific reference to the treatment of the SS-OFMSW, which shows a larger tendency to biodegradation (Bolzonella et al., 2005), the variations in VFAs concentration in the reactor can be very important. Figure 3 shows the typical variation of VFA concentrations related to different loadings of organic material in the reactor treating the SS-OFMSW. It is evident, here, that the highest concentrations are related to peaks in loading or after the weekend, when the feeding was stopped on Sunday. The re-start of the feeding determined disturbing conditions. In fact, when the VFAs concentration increased, the relative presence of acetic acid diminished and the propionic acid increased while in ordinary conditions acetic acid was constantly 90% of the total VFAs concentration. This evidence is in good agreement with previous studies reported in the literature (Ahring et al., 1995; Bolzonella et al., 2003a; Bouallagui et al., 2005).

Consequently, the specific methane production per kg of fed volatile matter was nearly three times higher (0.40 vs 0.13 m 3 CH 4 /kgtvs feed ) in the reactor treating the waste originating from source separated collection. The values observed in this study can be compared with typical yields reported for other full-scale applications of dry processes treating different types of substrates (see Table 4). From data reported in Table 4 it can be seen that typical yields obtained at full scale for wastes originating from different collection strategies are, in any case, greater than 100 m 3 biogas per ton of treated waste. On the other hand, in Bassano, where a blend of grey, MS-OFMSW and sludge is treated, the biogas production dropped down to 60 m 3 biogas/t, while when treating the SS-OFMSW the observed yields are as high as m 3 biogas/t, a value greater than the ones observed in other plants. Further, the specific methane production is also highly affected by the kind of treated material. In Bassano, where only organic wastes from separate collection were fed to one reactor, the specific yields reached values of 0.4 m 3 CH 4 /kgtvs. On the other hand, when treating the mechanically selected organic fraction from MSW, like in Amiens, the yield values were in the range m 3 CH 4 /kgtvs while when treating kitchen and garden wastes, like in Tilburg and Engelskirchen, the specific productions are in the range m 3 CH 4 /kgtvs. In particular, with specific reference to these plants, the higher the presence of garden wastes the lower the biogas production (Saint-Joly et al., 2000). This value goes down to 0.13 m 3 CH 4 /kgtvs when treating grey wastes, as in one reactor in the Bassano plant. Thus, a general agreement with other full-scale experiences reported in literature about the dry AD process can be observed. When considering different collection strategies, not only the gas yields, but also the final fate of the digested material is strictly affected. In particular, digested material undergoes an aerobic composting process, but when coming from reactors treating SS-OFMSW and kitchen wastes this can be conveniently used as compost for agricultural purposes, while material coming from a mechanical selection, because of the presence of plastics and other inert materials, can be then used as material for covering landfills or other similar purposes or burnt in incineration plants. As a consequence of the characteristics of the treated materials also the mass balances gave different responses. Figure 4 shows the mass balances determined for the two

(a) Mass balance for the reactor treating SS-OFMSW; (b) mass balance for the reactor treating the mixture of grey, MS-OFMSW and sludge. reactors operating at Bassano: in particular, Figure 4a shows the mass balance for the reactor treating the SS-OFMSW, while Figure 4b shows the typical mass balance for the reactor treating the mixed wastes (grey, MS-OFMSW and sludge). Mass balances were determined on the basis of one-year operation at steady-state conditions. It is evident, when considering Figure 4a, that the residual materials originating from the treatment of the SS-OFMSW can be conveniently treated and recycled. In particular, the treatment of 1 ton of SS-OFMSW can give some 270 kwh of electric energy and 178 kg of compost of good quality to be used for agricultural purposes, while produced wastewaters are some 450 kg and the reject materials to be disposed of in landfills are only 15 20% of treated wastes. On the other hand, when considering the treatment of the mixed material (Figure 4b), the energetic yield is clearly lower (some 77 kwh of electric energy for any ton of treated material) and the rejected materials from the sorting line are some 600 kg. The major part of those can be recovered as refuse derived fuel (RDF) and burnt in incineration systems. Then, also 200 kg of bio-stabilised material, sent to landfills, and 160 kg of wastewaters are produced. 30 Energetics and economics. From the energetic standpoint, the specific energy input in the treatment line during the observation period was some 72 kwh per ton of treated waste, that is a consumption of some 425 MWh on a monthly basis. Part of this is recovered from energy self-production (some 485 MWh per month) while the other 62 MWh per month is acquired and 130 MWh/month is sold to the national net by means of the green certificates. In terms of energy efficiency, the plant shows an index of 1.4 and 4.3 kwh produced /kwh consumed for the mixed waste and the SS-OFMSW, respectively. At this stage, the income from the energy selling is some 15 e per ton of treated waste. As for the other economic items, the initial investment cost for the plant was some 16 million Euros (public investment). Incomes deriving from treatment (fees and taxes) were some 115 e/ton, 79 e/ton and 58 e/ton, for grey, MS-OFMSW and SS-OFMSW, respectively. These gave an average price of some 100 e per ton of treated waste. With specific reference to managing costs, these were some 29 e per ton of treated waste, 50% due to personnel costs (14 e/ton). Costs for disposal in landfills of rejected materials were some 53 e/ton while capital cost for investment was some 13 e/ton. The global economic balance was positive.
9 Conclusions According to the evidence of this study the following conclusions can be summarised: first, the strategy of waste collection affects the characteristics of the organic wastes and determines the yields of the anaerobic reactors, not only in terms of biogas production (thus energy reclamation) but also in terms of final disposal (agricultural fields or landfill/incineration) of the effluent streams from the process. Secondly, under the same operational conditions, reactor yields can be very different, depending on the characteristics of the treated waste: the reactor treating the SS-OFMSW showed specific biogas production up to 200 m 3 per ton of treated waste, with a specific methane production of some 0.4 m 3 of methane CH 4 per kg of volatile solid fed to the reactor, while the reactor treating the mixed material consisting of the grey fraction of MSW, the MS-OFMSW and sludge showed a biogas production of some 60 m 3 per ton of treated waste with a specific methane production of some 0.13 m 3 of CH 4 per kg of volatile solid fed to the reactor. That is a factor 3 of difference in terms of biogas yields. Thirdly, the energetic yield was 1.4 and 4.3 kwh produced /kwh consumed for the mixed waste and the SS-OFMSW, respectively. And finally, as for the managing costs, these were some 29 e per ton of treated waste (50% for personnel) and 53 e/ton for disposing of the rejected materials. Incomes were some 100 e/ton (as an average) and an other 15 e/ton came from green certificates. The initial investment was 16 million Euros. References Ahring, B.K., Sandberg, M. and Angelidaki, I.
