Report on the validation, modelling and optimization performance

UCA is the main responsible for the prototype operation installed in the Miramundo-Los Hardales landfill located in Cádiz (Spain). Briefly, the purpose of this project is to demonstrate a new cost-effective and environmentally friendly technology for biogas desulfurization. In that sense, LIFE BIOGASNET project develops an innovative and low-carbon footprint technology for biogas upgrading with the aim to boost the use of biogas as a sustainable energy source and reduce the carbon footprint of the energy cycle, promoting the circular economy concept.
The BIOGASNET prototype will be implemented firstly in the Miramundo-Los Hardales landfill located in Cádiz (Spain). The pilot plant consists in two main equipment: a nitrification bioreactor that will be fed by landfill leachate and an anoxic biotrickling filter that will be fed by the effluent for the nitrification bioreactor and the biogas from the landfill wells. The main objective of this prototype operation is to gather information for the optimisation of the technology, the search of its limits and the definition of advanced control strategies. The installation of the prototype allows to show the robustness of the technology, allowing to obtain a by-product of interest besides reducing the amount of leachates generated in the landfilling process.
The current deliverable contains the main outcomes of the prototype operation under the activities of Action B2 (Operation of the Prototype at the Landfill). Hence, it describes the inoculum procedure, the main corrective actions taken to solve the problems arisen and the results of the experiments performed.
