The aim of this thesis is to carry out a techno-economic analysis of an anaerobic digestion process of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste integrated with cultivation of microalgae. The economic analysis is used to verify the profitability of a small-scale anaerobic digestion process and evaluate the effect that microalgae cultivation has on its economic viability. The overall plant mass balances are evaluated using the Aspen Plus process simulator.

Abstract

The aim of this thesis is to carry out a techno-economic analysis of an anaerobic digestion process of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste integrated with cultivation of microalgae. The economic analysis is used to verify the profitability of a small-scale anaerobic digestion process and evaluate the effect that microalgae cultivation has on its economic viability. The overall plant mass balances are evaluated using the Aspen Plus process simulator.
