Standards Development
This document establishes requirements and recommendations for the operation of the anaerobic digestion of sludge in order to support safe and sufficient operation of anaerobic digestion facilities to produce to produce sufficient biogas and 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 document. 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 the sludge with organic wastes to increase digester loading are also considered.
This document is applicable to decision-makers and operators in charge of an anaerobic digestion system.
As agreed at the last plenary meeting of CEN/TC 308 held in October 2023 in Paris (see report N1612), this European Technical Committee is intended to adopt international standards from the ISO/TC 275 “Sludge recovery, recycling, treatment and disposal”, if relevant.
This new proposal is a project of implementation of a published ISO standard :
ISO 19388:2023 “Sludge recovery, recycling, treatment and disposal — Requirements and recommendations for the operation of anaerobic digestion facilities”.
