Combined Heat and Power generation exploiting the biogas production from urban wastewaters treatment: the Genoa case study
Wastewaters treatment with biological processes is widely applied as a reliable solution to water pollution in urban areas. This process produces sludges and process waters. Sludges can be furtherly threated in dedicated plants to produce biogas, that can then be used to produce heat in specific pla...
