Mechanical biological treatment (MBT) plants are playing a key role in the management of residual municipal waste (RMW) at the European level, in order to favour the prevention or reduction of potential environmental impacts of landfilling. In this study, biochemical methane potential (BMP) tests were conducted to investigate: (1) a mechanically separated organic fraction from RMW; (2) a first type of MBT organic output represented by a biostabilised organic fraction from RMW, directly derived from the aerobic biostabilisation step of the previous mechanically separated organic fraction; and (3) a different type of MBT organic output represented by a biodried fine fraction from RMW, coming from an alternative biodrying MBT plant aiming to the primary production of waste-derived fuel.

Abstract
Mechanical biological treatment (MBT) plants are playing a key role in the management of residual municipal waste (RMW) at the European level, in order to favour the prevention or reduction of potential environmental impacts of landfilling. In this study, biochemical methane potential (BMP) tests were conducted to investigate: (1) a mechanically separated organic fraction from RMW; (2) a first type of MBT organic output represented by a biostabilised organic fraction from RMW, directly derived from the aerobic biostabilisation step of the previous mechanically separated organic fraction; and (3) a different type of MBT organic output represented by a biodried fine fraction from RMW, coming from an alternative biodrying MBT plant aiming to the primary production of waste-derived fuel.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
