Michael Pollan. ************ DESCRIPTION OF ARROW BIO PROCESS/PRESENTATION The Rutgers NJAES Report "Assessment of Biomass Energy Potential in New Jersey" (NJAES Report 2007-1) got it right in concluding that nearly 75% of the biomass potential in the state was municipal solid waste. The Report got it wrong in concluding that, to significantly tap into this potential, it is necessary to extensively source-separate, or isolate, the biodegradables organics in the waste stream. The need for extensive source-separation is bypassed in the commercially available ArrowBio process for mixed solid waste. In one unified system, traditional recyclables are recovered and the biodegradable organics transformed to methane-rich biogas through advanced two-stage anaerobic digestion (acidogenic followed by UASB digestion stages). This is accomplished in a watery system, in which the water is derived from the waste. A 4-minute video shows the ArrowBio process in operation at the Tel Aviv, Israel, transfer station click on FILM. Attached is a recent photo of an ArrowBio plant under construction near Sydney, Austalia, to open this year (2008). The ArrowBio process kills two birds with one stone: diversion from the landfill and recovery of material and energy. A 300 ton per day plant requires about three acres; the capital cost is roughly $25 million. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
