IFARM Waste to Energy System ™ utilizes a unique anaerobic composting process that eliminates problems typical of other solid waste management processes. WES is a stable, reliable system that is economical to operate and maintain. Its flexible design (tank, trench or cell) can be implemented in a wide variety of situations depending on your needs.
The IFARM WES stabilizes a wide variety of biodegradable solid waste (feedstocks) and, within 30 days, sludges into a readily usable biogas (methane) and soil conditioner (compost). Roll off containers are used for collection and processing of the waste. Biogas produced during the process is collected and stored somewhere near the main facility.
Typical feedstocks include:
| • | Municipal solid waste (MSW) | |||||
| • | Animal waste | |||||
| • | Yard waste | |||||
| • | Paper and newspaper | |||||
| • | Activated sludge | |||||
| • | Brewery wood chips | |||||
| • | Agricultural waste | |||||
| • | Food waste |
Unlike aerobic systems that require energy input, anaerobic composting is a energy producer. Ten percent of the biogas produced during the process in a typical configuration can be used to supply the energy requirements of the operation, leaving the excess 90% available for sale. After screening, compost can be sold to nurseries, landscapers and horticultural markets.
