Development of Novel Cleaning Process for Recycling Plastics Rejected from Anaerobic Digestion System

CH Four Biogas Inc.专注于为北美和南美的农业、工业和市政部门设计、安装和优化厌氧消化系统。他们是厌氧消化领域的行业领导者，他们独特的专业知识使他们能够成功地优化沼气系统，并不断努力创新和优化沼气技术。CH Four目前正在与Petawawa合作，在安大略省的Dundalk开发厌氧消化装置。该设施每年将接收多达73,000吨有机残留物用于沼气池。chfour计划将弃置的塑胶废物处理后送至回收设施，以大幅减少送往堆填区的废物数量。然而，被丢弃的塑料太脏了，不经过清洗就无法回收。为此，CH Four正与兰姆顿学院合作，为其厌氧消化池中的塑料废物寻找一种具有成本效益的清洁/回收解决方案。这个项目的成功有可能解决废弃塑料回收的几个挑战，不仅在我们的行业，而且在其他面临同样问题的行业。这项技术将为塑料垃圾提供机会，否则将被送往垃圾填埋场，进行处理以回收利用，以生产可重复使用的产品并减少温室气体排放。这项技术有可能造福加拿大的环境和经济，并为加拿大回收部门的未来提供投资机会。

CH Four Biogas Inc. specializes in the design, installation and optimization of anaerobic digestion systems forthe agricultural, industrial and municipal sectors throughout North and South America. They are an industry leader in the field of anaerobic digestion and their unique expertise allows them to successfully optimize biogassystems and continually strive for innovation and optimization of biogas technologies.CH Four is currently developing an Anaerobic Digester Facility in Dundalk, Ontario in partnership with Petawawa. This facility will accept up to 73,000 tonnes of organic residues per year for use in the digester. CH Four plans to process the rejected plastic waste to send to a recycling facility in an effort to drastically reduce the amount of waste being sent to landfills. However, the rejected plastics are too dirty to be recycled without being cleaned. To that end, CH Four is collaborating with Lambton College to find a cost effective cleaning/recycling solution for the plastic waste from their anaerobic digester.The success of this project has the potential to resolve several challenges surrounding the recycling of reject plastic not only in our industry but in other sectors facing the same issue. This technology will provide the opportunity for plastic waste, otherwise sent to landfill, to be processed for recycling to create reusable products and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The technology has the potential to benefit Canada's environment and economy and provides the opportunity to invest in the future of the Canadian recycling sector.
