Mechanical biological treatment of municipal waste: impact of retention time of the Rotary Drum Reactor

Mechanical Biological Treatment (MBT) is a proven technology for the treatment of municipal solid waste (MSW). The number of MBT plants is increasing significantly in recent years. In a significant number of these plants, the three major elements are a Rotary Drum...

Characterization of three industrial digestates and composts of digestates: Impacts of the composting step on the innocuousness of digestates

The use of treatment methods involving Anaerobic-Digestion (AD) is expanding rapidly for a wide range of organic waste in France/Europe. In addition to biogas, AD generates digestate, a partially stabilized/sanitized product. In the majority of cases digestate is...

Berkeley Lab and Department of Energy

Both the Berkeley Lab and the Department of Energy are committed to bringing science solutions to the reduction of atmospheric CO2 and sequestration of carbon.  My lab (Andersen) is involved in examining the often-overlooked interplay between microbes that can...

Farmers Can Receive Grants to Move to Organic Farming

Two Midwestern states in the U.S. are offering farmers three years of support to move to organic crop production. Farmers would ditch GMOs along with their toxic pesticides and herbicides. The aim is to boost acreage of organically-grown crops in the U.S. once the...
