Abstract
Pilot scale digestion of the organic fraction of source-sorted household waste from Sweden and Denmark was performed during one year. The study includes 17 waste types with differences in originating municipality, housing type, kitchen wrapping, sack type, pre-treatment method and season. The pilot scale digestion has been carried out in systems with a 35-litres digester connected to a 77-litres gas tank.
Four rounds of digestion were performed including start-up periods, full operation periods for evaluation and post-digestion periods without feeding. Different pre-sorting and pre-treatment strategies is evaluated since the results are based on the measure of the realizable gas potential.
