The prototype, after being operational for over 12 months in the Cádiz plant, was moved to a Municipal solid waste management plant (MSWTP) in Athens (Greece), where it was operated with the aim to obtain information about the performance of the project’s technology in another different scenario.

In this case, the protype installed in the plant was expanded with a scrubber to carry out the absorption of ammonium in water, and this water fed the nitrification bioreactor. In this plant, the ammonium-rich air came from the composting area and the biogas from an anaerobic digester that treats the organic fraction of the waste.

The operation of the LIFE BIOGASNET prototype is being maintained beyond the project end in the site of the Attica Region in Athens to become a demonstration site of the benefits of the technology and to promote the commercial uptake of the solution.
