Abstract

This present paper highlights important aspects concerning the proposed technology for the biogas generation from the degradable part of the municipal waste, and presents results for two different batches, from the point of view of the process parameters and biogas characteristics during the combustion. The topic is based on the original concept and general characteristics of a developed pilot working under anaerobic fermentation – assemble on the industrial platform of S.C. COLTERM S.A. Timisoara. It presents results of research and tests concerning the possibilities of biogas production from municipal residues in order to depict possibilities of improving the main parameters of the process and the quantity and quality for the produced biogas, known to be a potential renewable energy resource. The achieved results are important for optimizing the anaerobic fermentation process with impact on the general characteristics for the produced biogas and the applications in which this can be used, namely a further combustion, in stead of natural gas..
