4. 4 Technology Selection is Driven by Feedstock Characterization That’s why Harvest is under development on high solids anaerobic digestion (HSAD) and low solids anaerobic digestion (LSAD) projects. The technology choice largely depends on the feedstock characteristics: The choice is also dependent on the availability of wastewater reuse options (farms, WWTPs, etc.), as LSAD results in wastewater discharge.
7. 7 Technology HSAD – Advantages Process yields biogas with average methane content of 70% to 80%, considerably higher than many other HSAD technologies. Less biogas cleaning and processing required. Process design allows for a maximum feedstock residence time of woweeks, increasing processing capacity and reducing facility footprint No grinding, slurrying required; only moving part is front-end loader; entire process controlled by computer. BiogasPurity Residence Time Operational Requirements
8. 8 Technology HSAD – Advantages (2) AD process naturally breaks down many of the volatile compounds that cause odor; system under negative pressure with air ventilated through biofilter, eliminating VOCs; facility is totally enclosed. Large portion of leachate is re-circulated to aid in digestion and gas yield; the remainder may be used in compost process. Very low parasitic energy use of <5%; requirements can be met completely with energy generated on-site. Odor Control Water Usage & Leachate Control Energy Requirements
9. 9 Reference Facilities HSAD FACILITIES Harvest’s HSAD technology partner GICON has built 30 biogas facilities in Europe, and we recently started construction on an HSAD facility at Fraser Richmond Soil & Fibre, our 300,000-tpy composting operation in Richmond, BC. Cottbus R&D Facility
11. 11 Technology LSAD – Advantages Can process a wide variety of typically challenging organic wastes including SSO, grease trap contents, food processing residuals and Dissolved Air Flotation residuals (DAF) Has a long track record of operational success with thousands of facilities in operation Continuous process allows for optimal use of infrastructure Feedstock Flexibility Technology Dependability Infrastructure Utilization
12. 12 Technology LSAD – Advantages (2) A large number of technology suppliers exist, increasing competition and reducing facility costs Less feedstock seasonality allows for more consistent operation Consistent energy production due to continuous feeding process Market Maturity Operational Consistency Energy Production Consistency
13. 13 Reference Facilities LSAD FACILITIES LSAD is a proven technology in North America and Europe. Harvest’s LSAD technology has experience in many different types of anaerobic systems, all of which are optimized for certain applications, duties or design objectives. Cottbus R&D Facility
14. London Project Overview Harvest is breaking ground on a 80,000-tpy LSAD facility in London, Ontario. The project details for this facility are shown below. 14
