Cost of an OFMSW AD Plant?

Hi,

I know the ​cost of an AD (​anaerobic ​digestion) ​plant varies ​depending on ​the conditions ​and feedstock. ​However I would ​like to know an ​estimation of the ​cost to set and ​operate an ​AD plant for ​the organic ​fraction of ​Municipal solid ​waste (OFMSW).​  ​

The capacity ​of the plant is ​for treat 50,​000 tons of ​OFMSW per year, ​producing ​energy. ​

I would ​appreciate your ​help if you ​have any tool ​or information ​about this. ​

Cheers,

Media

  1. Is this for a university project? Have you tried asking the nearest local operator? I'm not aware of any of these costs having been published, but it should be greater than standard AD - there is more pre-processing of the MSW needed, and the OF may be less nutritionally balanced, requiring greater monitoring and dosing of corrective nutrients.
