Pre-treatment boosts efficiency of converting sewage to biogas
Envirotec Magazine
NOVEMBER 9, 2022
A research team from Washington State University has tested a pretreatment technology that they say improves the conversion of sewage sludge to biogas. The approach adds an extra step to typical treatments and uses oxygen-containing high pressure steam to break down sewage sludge. They found that they were able to convert more than 85% of the organic material to biogas, which can be used to produce electricity or upgraded to renewable natural gas (RNG) for the natural gas grid or for local use.
