The main purpose of the master theses is to test and optimize a pilot biogas plant for municipal waste treatment within the municipal landfill in Reykjavik, Iceland. The main waste treatment process involves the flushing of organic compounds from municipal waste and the use of this liquid as food for anaerobic digesters and for biogas production. The rest of the waste is aerobically composted. In order to improve the initial hydrolysis of organic waste, it is possible to start the process at higher temperatures (eg 55 ° C). It was necessary to perform several simulated processes on mesophilic and thermophilic conditions,. The whole system was designed to be automated with minimal assistance from people.
