Description
The project is both a methane emissions reduction and an energy production project. Methane produced in the Kubratovo wastewater treatment plant is captured in common methane tanks serving as a buffer and then supplied to the newly installed CHP gas engines for electricity and heat production, which in turn will substitute both the plant’s electricity purchases from the grid and diesel fuel usage. Excess electricity is supplied to the grid. The main purpose of the project is to transform the existing low-tech sludge treatment process at Kubratovo into a modern, advanced treatment process matching the best sludge treatment practice available in Western Europe. This transformation has a major effect on the environment through dramatically reducing the existing methane gas emissions at the plant while also reducing the volume of sludge (to as much as 50%) that needs to be transported, hence reducing GHG emissions from transportation as well (not included in GHG abatement calculations). The overall objective of the project is to provide an environmentally friendly sludge treatment process, reducing methane and carbon dioxide emissions that, under a business-as-usual scenario, would have continued.Other objectives are:• replace the traditional sludge drying beds and landfill options with mesophilic digestion ofall primary and secondary sludge followed by mechanical dewatering in order to reduceGHG emissions;• effectively mitigate odour problems from the existing treatment of sludge and sludgeliquors through introduction of digestion;• production of fertiliser by mechanical dewatering of the digested stabilised sludge; production of electricity from utilisation of the biogas in CHP gas engines therebyreducing GHG emissions from electricity production by the grid.
