Turning Biosolids into Green Energy: Comparing Anaerobic Digestion with Combined Heat and Power to Close-coupled Gasification
Abstract
During the summer of 2010, the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission began a study comparing different biosolids management options for two of its Wastewater Treatment Plants with a focus on energy recovery from biosolids through the methods of drying followed by gasification and anaerobic digestion with combined heat and power generation. Both plants currently manage their biosolids with lime stabilization and Class B beneficial use. The study was set up as a three phase approach consisting of identifying and screening technologies, performing a detailed economic and noneconomic analysis of the short listed options and finally developing a concept design report for the selected option. Several drying and gasification alternatives were screened but only close coupled systems were short listed for further analysis. Multiple anaerobic digestion configurations and pretreatment technologies were also screened leading to a short list of conventional mesophilic anaerobic digestion, acid-gas phase digestion and 2PAD technology for individual plants and a combined digestion facility with thermal hydrolysis pretreatment. The outcome of the initial analysis was the realization that there may be other centralized/regional plant alternatives that could provide WSSC a better biosolids management solution for its five WWTPs. The thermal hydrolysis (TH) process was determined to be the most cost effective to condition the biosolids and maximize digester gas production.
