Experimental study, characterization and recovery of waste from the technical landfill center of Bechar, Algeria

The technical landfill center TLC in Bechar receives every day an enormous quantity of waste estimated at 120 tons, of which organic matter represents more than 60%. The latter is a beneficial substrate for the production of green energy called biogas. Biogas is a renewable energy source, which can be produced by the methanization process which consists of the decomposition of organic matter in the absence of oxygen, also called anaerobic digestion. The present work consists in the valorization of the biogas produced from household waste of the technical landfill center TLC of the city of Bechar, Algeria. The results obtained in this study are to characterize the physicochemical parameters of the experimental analysis. In particular, the daily quantity of biogas (methanisable waste) and that of the electrical energy produced. The application of this work can fill an energy deficit compared to the energy demand in the summer period (air conditioning).
