The Bulgarian water plant transforming waste into power

Free QuoteEvery year the Kubratovo plant generates around 24,000 megawatt-hours of electricity and heat energy - enough to power 2,300 homes annually. But what sets the plant apart from other water treatment facilities is the efficiency of its digesters where the biogas is made, explains Stanislav.
The Kubratovo plant produces biogas which it transforms into electricity and heateuronews “We collect the wastewater from Sofia citizens. We treat it here so that it's clean when it enters the river. In the process, we produce biogas. This biogas is then transformed into electricity and heat.
The annual average specific energy consumption of the wastewater treatment process in the DR-W scenario was 0.519 kWh/m3 compared to 0.733 kWh/m 3 in the base scenario. These savings represent an example of treating the high intensity caused by the mismatching between actual and design inflows to the aeration tank (Torregrossa et al., 2019).
The DR measure for sludge treatment to reduce the export of PV power surplus in months with a large PV surplus led to a large difference between the DR-W and DR-W+S scenarios with respect to self-consumption rate at the same PV capacity. Fig. 6.
