Technology – Source separation/ MBT
MBT or Mechanical Biological Treatment is a large scale process which involves two main treatments: Mechanical – Involves shredding, screening and metal extraction. These processes result in the separation of oversized, inert, recyclables and biodegradable waste fractions. Biological – Biodegradable fraction is broken down by microbial activity within a controlled environment MBT treatments fall into two general […]
Technology – The Bio-digestion cycle
The Bio-cycle Biodigestion reproduces (replicates) a natural organic cycle under controlled conditions. It is the only biological process that produces renewable energy without destroying organic matter. see examples (Chumleigh) This diagram comes from: Anaerobic Digestion of Household Waste – A Practical Renewable Energy Option for London?
