Optimisation of anaerobic digestion of organic solid waste for the production of quality compost for soil amendment
Organic Fractions of Municipal Solid waste (OFMSW) is rich in organic matter, which can be recycled through energy recovery and compost production. The move towards sustainable management of OFMSW is shifting from energy recovery alone to the integration of separation at source, feedstock selection …

Anaerobic co-digestion of municipal solid waste and sewage sludge.
… the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the technical feasibility of this process in the context of typical Canadian solid waste. Lab-scale experiments were initially conducted using one litre batch bioreactors operated mesophilically …

Greenhouse gas mitigation cost of energy from biogas : a techno-economic analysis of co-digestion of three types of waste in Cape Town
… were organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) and primary sludge (PS) from sewage works. Project model 2 considered waste paper sludge (WPS) and PS. For the city-scale model, substrates for project model 1 were extended to include total amounts of OFMSW and PS generated in Cape Town. …

IMPROVING THE CIRCULARITY OF BIODEGRADABLE BIOPLASTICS BY PRODUCING BIOGAS: A FULL-SCALE ASSESSMENT
… the organic fractions of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) is a promising end-of-life scenario, as it reduces pre-treatment and increases process efficiency and biogas production. However, PLA shows poor biodegradability under anaerobic digestion (AD) conditions, requiring long retention times (HRTs) …

Produzione di H2 e CH4 da frazioni biodegradabili di rifiuti urbani e da siero lattiero-caseario
… (CW) and municipal solid waste organic fraction (OFMSW), was studied. Various factors (in particular pH and F/M ratios) were studied in order to enhance H2 and CH4 yields, in particular to assess the optimal operating conditions for fermentative hydrogen production from the two substrates …

Integrating bio-based resource recovery and treatment into municipal solid waste management in developing countries: a focus on anaerobic digestion
… Although composting the organic fraction of MSW (OFMSW) has been the preferred treatment method due to the low economic costs and operative ease, the production of biogas - a renewable energy source - has now positioned AD as the more energy efficient process as opposed to composting which …

Life cycle sustainability assessment of next generation energy infrastructure in Africa: Is there a case for biohydrogen after biomethane?
… the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW); and rural, represented by cattle manure. In each setting, two end-uses of both fuels are considered, viz. electricity generation (combined heat and power (CHP) systems vs. fuel cell (FC) systems), and as vehicle fuel (compressed natural gas …

International biogas applications
… the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) and energy crops are preferred due to their higher methane yields. Concerns about the sustainability of the use energy crops for biogas production have reduced the use of these substrates worldwide, which has encouraged the research on algae …
