Anaerobic digestion and composting plant in Faenza (Ra)

Overview

Operating since 1995, the Faenza composting plant primarily processes plant waste, namely the lignocellulosic fraction from public and private green space maintenance, as well as agri food waste and agro industrial sludge.

The plant is located in Faenza (RA) at Via Convertite 6, within the Caviro Extra site, and performs the biological treatment of waste through bio oxidation in fermentation windrows. The process produces Green Composted Soil Conditioner (ACV Econat), Mixed Composted Soil Conditioner (ACM Econat), and Composted Soil Conditioner from Agri food Chain Waste (ACFA Econat).

ACV Econat, permitted in organic farming, is obtained from lignocellulosic raw materials, namely residues from the maintenance of public and private ornamental green spaces;

ACM Econat, permitted in organic farming, is produced from grass clippings and prunings, plant waste, and agro industrial processing waste. It is currently available in pellet form for field application with a standard fertilizer spreader or for horticultural use.

ACFA Econat is obtained from grass clippings and prunings, biodigestate from the anaerobic digestion process for biogas production, and agri food sludge. It is a compost specifically designed for use in conventional agriculture on extensive crops and orchards.

The natural soil improvers produced by Enomondo are ideal for improving soil structure: they significantly reduce the use of chemical fertilizers by adding organic matter to the soil. They have hygroscopic properties, bind CO2 in the soil, and return nutrients to the plants. A process that, thanks to the presence of nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, stimulates the growth of beneficial microflora, making the soil more resistant to drought and desertification, as well as improving the development of the root system of the plants grown on it.
