FLUENCE ITALY – Waste-to-Energy solutions

Our waste-to-energy technologies fall into three main categories:

– Anaerobic treatment of wastewater containing a high concentration of soluble COD, including wastewater from breweries, paper mills, dairies, food processing plants, and pharmaceutical companies
– Anaerobic digestion of sludge, particularly from slaughterhouses, fish processing plants, and rendering plants
– Anaerobic digestion of solid waste, including biomass, food waste, manure, agricultural waste, and silage

The main benefits of using our waste-to-energy solutions to process wastewater and sludge include:

– On-site production of energy, which can be used by the client to reduce a plant’s electricity and gas consumption
– Production of high-quality, treated effluents that meet the most stringent permitting requirements
– Reduction of sludge volume by up to 90%, significantly reducing the amount bound for landfills
– Production of a high-quality digestate that can be used by farmers as a fertilizer
– Reduction of greenhouse-gas emissions
– 100% reliability, and low operation and maintenance requirements

Every client is different, and, consequently, the biomasses they produce have different characteristics. Before designing a plant, we analyze the biomass in our laboratory to determine its capacity to produce biogas. Fluence engineers then evaluate the potential solution in business terms, calculating capital costs, operating cost reductions, and return on investment.
