Fuel and Swill Digester 100% renewable energy from kitchen waste
The system is fully automatic combination of effective digester kitchen waste with a highly efficient converter of biogas into electricity and hot water ( BlueGen Fuel and Swill Digester). The system consists of an autonomously functioning, complete and compact system for local processing of food waste from homes, healthcare and hospitality, which biogas with a very high efficiency (85 to 90%) is converted into electrical and thermal energy.This:
save residents / businesses energy and disposal costs,
the hygiene is improved,
odor is prevented and
saving society in transport kilometers and energy use in composting and / or incineration.
The system consists of proven products (both fuel cell and fermentation have been working for several years and have an excellent track record). An additional advantage of this combination is the ease of use (fully automatic functioning) and the benefits of using hot water (by-product of the fuel cell) for fermentation. Due to this coupling is much less or no supply of energy need, needed for the fermentation process itself, from outside the system. The system can be 'exported' to a modest area (a total of 12 to 18 m2) in a residential area or a catering establishment (such as canteens, restaurants) and can be made at will larger. The system is completely self-sufficient and self-managing, the supply of waste after.
Profit for the coupling of a fuel cell and Swill Digester
The advantages of the coupling of a fuel cell and are Swill Fermenter:
beneficial use of waste, without the addition or use of fossil fuels and chemicals.
The combination provides a factor of 2.5 compared to a profit of primary (fossil) fuels to produce electricity. There can be counted by a factor of 2.5 to primary fuel is saved for kWh of electricity. The production of a small cluster installation delivers annually over 26,000 kWh (26 MWh) of energy, a quantity of fossil fuel saved user- 65,000 kWh (65 MWh) of electricity generation.
this because of the high efficiency of the two systems separately, and the very short distances between the source, the fermentation / generation and use.
scale: this scale production of green gas is not possible / feasible due to high costs; However, the system proposed here can be anywhere economically viable / profitable placed where produced at least 150 kg of kitchen waste per day;
scalable: the system is scalable from 150 kg of waste per day up to a maximum theoretically infinite. The pilot project is working with one digester from 6 to 8 m3 and 2 BlueGen fuel cells.
compact: a digester with storage, all peripherals and two BlueGen brandstfocellen can very well in a standard shipping container.
integration thermal energy: a small portion of the energy is thermal energy that is generated.Per day for each fuel cell 200 liters of hot water at 70 degrees Celsius produced (more than 5,000 kWh per year). In all areas where the combined installation is placed will be this hot water utility.
digestate: The volumes are digestate, with highly efficient fermentation, small in size. This greatly reduces cost and system shutdowns. On average, only once have a digester to be cleaned in the 3 to 5 years.
PCE smart grid-readyThe applied fuel cell technology is equipped with Internet access which fit into a smart grid system is possible.. Via the Internet to monitor the fuel cell and optionally control. In the future, this, in a circuit of several combined systems, a virtual power plant (VPP) are assembled: a decentralized, sustainable system of energy regardless of wind and sun. In combination with solar and wind energy is to achieve a comprehensive solution to the energy problem and is a self-sufficient residential possibility.
