JFE-Bigadan Biogas Process as an Energy Recovery and Digestion System
NOMA Hideaki FUKUDA Kazuyoshi KUMASAKI Katsuo
Abstract
In 2001, JFE
Engineering was licensed to use the Bigadan
process biogas system. This highly efficient
methane fermentation process is suitable for
energy recovery from livestock manure, food-industry
waste, kitchen waste, and presorted household
organic waste. JFE Engineering is currently
conducting tests with a demonstration plant
for livestock manure digestion and has also
constructed and delivered a commercial biogas
plant for food-industry waste. This paper
describes the features of the Bigadan process,
test results at the demonstration plant, and
the features of the food-waste treatment plant.
