ENERGY FROM BIOMASS AND WASTE

Since 2004 AIB has developed a promotional action for waste treatment systems through the presentation of technology for the production of energy through the gasification of biomass and urban and industrial waste.

Feasibility studies were carried out using different technologies:

• mobile grid gasification 
• fluid bed gasification 

LARGE SYSTEMS

Feasibility studies have been carried out for the production and electrical and thermal energy from RDF and industrial waste with potential that varies from 200,000 to 400,000 t/a.

MEDIUM SIZE SYSTEMS

Feasibility studies have been carried out for the production and electrical and thermal energy from RDF and industrial waste with potential that varies from 5,000 to 200,000 t/a with fluid bed and grid combustion technology In particular, the technology mainly used by AIB in small to medium sized waste to energy projects is mobile grid that is owned by the Norwegian company Energos. 
AIB has shown that Energos’ technology in public institutions and Bodies and private companies by participating in many national conventions (including the presentation in Aosta and Palermo).
Since 1997 Energos has been designing and producing modular system of 40,000 and 50,000 t/a for the treatment of urban and industrial waste, including from paper mill pulpers. The systems, which are functioning and can be visited, have potential that varies from 40,000 t/a (one line) up to 200,000 (4 lines).
