| Zusammenfassung: | Marine biomass is a promising renewable energy source, especially as this waste contains a large amount of cellulose and hemicellulose, which can contribute to convert it into energy products using anaerobic digestion (AD) and pyrolysis processes. This work was focused on a synergetic view of marine coastal waste treatment (seaweed) using two different technologies, anaerobic microbiological co-digestion, and pyrolysis. The experiments were performed with two merged technologies to assess the captured energy from the digestate in case it is contaminated. Anaerobic co-digestion was conducted using a periodic load laboratory bench with a vertical biogas digester. An evaluation of possible product yields and composition during pyrolysis at a laboratory-scale bench has been performed. The products obtained after the thermal treatment analyzed using an online gas measurement system and gas chromatographs Agilent 7890A with TCD detector (for gases) and Agilent 7890A with MS detector (for liquids).The results demonstrated that biogas yield was 174.1 l/kg (DM). Seaweed washed by seawater yields a higher amount of biogas (202.5 l/kg). Meanwhile, seaweed, sewage sludge, and digestate samples subjected to thermal treatment produced 17%, 30%, and 15% of liquids products, respectively. The economic performance assessment showed that the application of the developed merged approach on an industrial scale could provide an economic return of up to 8.3 $/100 kg of waste. Based on that, merged AD and pyrolysis technologies could be adapted as a promising technology to valorize seaweed wastes and utilize them as a new sustainable source for renewable energy |
