Covered In Ground Reactor (CIGAR) Systems for Wastewater Treatment with Biogas Recovery
This presentation will provide a case study on the technical and economic
operation performance of the Khorat Waste to Energy (KWTE) project that
is designed to deliver close to 100,000 m3 biogas/day from starch
processing wastewater using a novel, innovative, low cost anaerobic digester
design & construction approach. Areas covered in the presentation include:

• Technological breakthroughs
• GHG emission abatement and energy production
• Technical operation issues and opportunities
• How to maintain energy supply security for the host
• Energy pricing issues
• Contingency planning for capital and operating cost
