With the UTV system, organic materials are composted under controlled conditions. Find out more about the use of our system in various industries – what requirements we fulfil and what advantages result from using the system for composting.
In fermentation plants, biogas is usually produced as the main product. This is achieved through the anaerobic digestion of organic materials such as biomass, food waste, manure, green waste and other biodegradable waste. During the fermentation process, microorganisms convert these organic materials into biogas, which consists mainly of methane and carbon dioxide, in the absence of air. The use of composting in fermentation plants is an effective method of processing biowaste to produce biogas while obtaining high-quality compost as a by-product. The main goal of composting in fermentation plants is to efficiently process biowaste while producing biogas as a renewable energy source and obtaining high-quality compost as a soil conditioner. Composting helps to reduce the burden on landfill sites, reduces greenhouse gas emissions and promotes sustainable waste management.
Overall, the combination of composting and fermentation in one plant is a sustainable and efficient solution for processing biowaste that offers both energy generation and high-quality compost as end products.
Energy generation
By producing biogas from organic materials, fermentation plants contribute to renewable energy production and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
Higher resource utilization
The anaerobic fermentation process enables a more efficient use of organic materials, as it allows a higher biogas yield per tonne of waste.
Improved odor control
As the fermentation process takes place in closed containers, it often contributes to improved odor control, especially in urban areas.
High-quality compost
The fermentation residue from fermentation plants contains a higher concentration of nutrients and organic substances than conventional compost, resulting in a high-quality end product that helps to improve the soil.
Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
Anaerobic fermentation of organic material reduces the release of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that is normally produced during the aerobic decomposition of organic materials.
