21/30436749 DC

This standard 21/30436749 DC BS ISO 19388. Sludge recovery, recycling, treatment and disposal. Guidelines for the operation of anaerobic digestion facilities is classified in these ICS categories:

• 13.030.20 Liquid wastes. Sludge

The scope of the present project is to standardize good practices of operation of sludge anaerobic in order to support safe and sufficient operation of anaerobic digestion facilities, to produce sufficient energy recovery thanks to a sufficient biogas production in proportion to volatiles solids ratio and to control by-products qualities.

In particular, conditions to optimize mixing within the reactor and appropriate control systems management for safe and reliable operation are described in this standard. Performance of the processes in terms of biogas and digestate production are-presented depending on type of technologies available on the market. Blending sludge with waste (co-substrate), and mixing of sludge with organic wastes to increase digester loading are considered in the scope.

This standard is written for decision makers and operators in charge of an anaerobic digestion system.
