Animal by-product streams and fats can be high-value feedstock for biogas, biodiesel, and energy recovery. Their use depends on the material type, treatment route, local requirements, and the expectations of the receiving facility. WALDT develops processing concepts that prepare these streams for further use in energy-related applications.
Animal by-product streams often require dedicated pre-treatment before they can enter biogas, biodiesel, or other energy recovery routes. This includes particle size reduction, sterilization or thermal treatment, fat handling, effluent concentration, and odour control, depending on the project. A reliable concept must define not only the processing step, but also how the material is collected, handled, treated, stored, and transferred to the next stage.
Energy-related applications require a technical balance between feedstock specifications, process stability, energy consumption, regulatory expectations, and total cost of ownership. WALDT supports this with Technology Studies, mass balance calculations, process design, integrated plant concepts, and long-term technical support. The technologies must respect local legislative requirements such as Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 of the European Parliament
