Study Notes
Waste Management Collection
- Waste management system design calculations are used to estimate truck capacity
- The ratio of density after compaction to before compaction plays a key role in truck capacity estimates
- Waste collection systems are designed to optimize truck capacity, minimizing stops and driving time
Waste Management Separation in the Plant
- Eddy current separation (ECS) is a physical technology used to separate nonferrous metallic particles from waste
- ECS works by inducing alternating eddy currents in nonferrous metallic particles when they encounter a variable magnetic field generated by a rotating magnetic drum
- The alternating eddy current causes a new magnetic field in the nonferrous metallic particles, creating a repulsive force between the magnetic fields of the ECS and the metallic particles, pushing them away from other particles
Waste Treatment: Fractions
- RAEE (Resíduos de Aparatos Eléctricos y Electrónicos) and WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipments) represent specific waste categories
- The State Framework Waste Management Plan (PEMAR 2016-2022) provides guidelines for managing RAEE and WEEE
Waste Treatment: Biological Conversion
- Composting and Biomethanization are key biological conversion methods, each with specific requirements, including temperature, moisture, organic load, C/N balance, and technology selection
- Composting typically requires higher total solids concentration (40-65%) compared to Biomethanization (4-30%)
Temperature Parameters in Biological Conversion
- Psychrophilic: < 20 ºC
- Mesophilic: 20-40 ºC
- Thermophilic: 40-60 ºC
- Hyperthermophilic: > 60 ºC
Biomethanization Process and Configurations
- Biomethanization involves the anaerobic digestion (AD) of organic matter, producing biogas and effluent
- Different AD configurations exist, including mechanical/shaker, thermophilic/mesophilic, and single-stage/two-stage systems
- Biomethanization can occur at different temperatures, with thermophilic digestion typically happening at 55°C and mesophilic digestion at 35°C
- Organic fraction of urban solid waste (OFUSW) is a common input material for biomethanization
- Biogas is a valuable energy resource produced in biomethanization
Waste Treatment: Biological Conversion: Biomethanization - Configurations
- Mechanical shaker systems promote mixing and material movement within the digester
- Thermophilic reactors operate at higher temperatures, often exceeding 55°C, favoring microbial communities that thrive at elevated temperatures
- Mesophilic reactors typically operate at temperatures between 30°C and 40°C, suitable for moderately warm environments
- Anaerobic Reactors are the core components of biomethanization, providing the necessary environment for anaerobic digestion to occur
- The effluent from biomethanization is a byproduct that can be further treated and potentially used for various purposes
