Techno-economic and environmental assessment of hydrothermal carbonization coupled with anaerobic digestion for sewage sludge and municipal solid waste co-treatment in Chile
This work aimed to compare the stand-alone hydrothermal carbonization process (HTC) coupled with anaerobic digestion (AD) for the treatment of HTC-process water in terms of technical, economic, and environmental performance. Three scenarios were evaluated: (i) Stand-alone HTC, (ii) HTC integrated with AD (HTC + AD_1), and (iii) HTC integrated with an improved AD that uses hydrochar (HTC + AD_2). The industrial process was designed and modeled based on experimental data previously obtained for the co-treatment of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste and sewage sludge. The results show that net thermal energy (HTC = 53 kWh/traw material, HTC + AD_1 = 120 kWh/traw material, HTC + AD_2 = 84 kWh/traw material) and net electrical energy (HTC = 149 kWh/traw material, HTC + AD_1 = 187 kWh/traw material, HTC + AD_2 = 187 kWh/traw material) increased in the integrated scenarios by up to 126 % and 26 % respectively, compared to the stand-alone HTC due to extra energy from biogas. Nevertheless, the increase in methane production (58 vs. 153 NmLCH4/gVS) owing to the hydrochar addition did not supply the contribution of direct hydrochar combustion in power plants. Compared to the stand-alone HTC, the waste treatment cost with the cogeneration unit increased by 62 % due to the annexed AD plant. The total annualized cost ranges from 101 (HTC) to 127 (HTC + AD_1) USD/traw material, which is expected to decrease in all scenarios (up to 31 USD/traw material) by increasing the plant capacity (up to 100,000 t/year). The integrated configurations reduce the total environmental impact points (up to 85 %) compared to the stand-alone HTC due to the valorization of the HTC-process water and the replacement of coal fuel.
期刊介绍:
Biomass & Bioenergy is an international journal publishing original research papers and short communications, review articles and case studies on biological resources, chemical and biological processes, and biomass products for new renewable sources of energy and materials.
The scope of the journal extends to the environmental, management and economic aspects of biomass and bioenergy.
Key areas covered by the journal:
• Biomass: sources, energy crop production processes, genetic improvements, composition. Please note that research on these biomass subjects must be linked directly to bioenergy generation.
• Biological Residues: residues/rests from agricultural production, forestry and plantations (palm, sugar etc), processing industries, and municipal sources (MSW). Papers on the use of biomass residues through innovative processes/technological novelty and/or consideration of feedstock/system sustainability (or unsustainability) are welcomed. However waste treatment processes and pollution control or mitigation which are only tangentially related to bioenergy are not in the scope of the journal, as they are more suited to publications in the environmental arena. Papers that describe conventional waste streams (ie well described in existing literature) that do not empirically address ''new'' added value from the process are not suitable for submission to the journal.
• Bioenergy Processes: fermentations, thermochemical conversions, liquid and gaseous fuels, and petrochemical substitutes
• Bioenergy Utilization: direct combustion, gasification, electricity production, chemical processes, and by-product remediation
• Biomass and the Environment: carbon cycle, the net energy efficiency of bioenergy systems, assessment of sustainability, and biodiversity issues.
