Methane-rich biogas production from the fish processing industry
The Mauritius waste-to-value plant known as Energie Des Mascareignes (EDM), is designed to receive various industrial wastewater streams as a feedstock for the production of methane-rich biogas. The biogas is upgraded and distributed to the local industry for use in steam production.
Specifics
After digestion, the wastewater is further treated to recover phosphorus and remove nitrogen for safe discharge into the local municipal discharge point. Phosphate fertiliser recovered from the wastewater will be used as a fertiliser on the local lands. EDM is a pioneering project for the Island of Mauritius and has a significant impact on the local environment
- The wastewater comes from multiple industrial effluent streams from the fish processing industry.
- The plant uses anaerobic digestion in conjunction with phosphate precipitation and nitrogen removal.
- EDM produces 7MW of biomethane.
