METHODS TO STREAMLINE THE ENERGY CONSUMPTION AT THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS. USING BIOGAS OBTAINED FROM SLUDGE FERMENTATION IN THERMAL PLANTS (CASE STUDY: CONSTANTA NORD WWTP)
This paper aims to present a simple way to evaluate the biogas production from the sludge resulting from the wastewater treatment process. Attention is given to three topics: the wastewater sludge fermentation and the evaluation of the biogas production with BioWatts software, but also to providing a general view of the thermal plant, the flow of the technological process and the equipment’s required to store and use the biogas as the main fuel for the thermal plant.
