Abstract

The sustainability of the anaerobic digestion (AD) plant was closely related to the disposal of digestate and enhancement of energy recovery. Aiming to promote this, coupling AD and digestate gasification (AD-gasification) was proposed and evaluated for a large-scale AD plant. Firstly, characterization of the solid digestate was measured. Secondly, air gasification of the solid digestate was performed. Finally, two scenarios aiming at enhancing energy recovery as electricity or gas were investigated.
