After the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) or mad cow disease, was tragically widely spread across Europe, a number of animals were killed.
This, among multiple other things, generated a lot of carcasses of bovines.
There was the challenge to efficiently eliminate said carcasses and the period of biomass was rushing.
The Italian government issued a tender to recycle the sludges issued from carcass treatment and destruction.
Solution:
We proposed to build a small power plant fuelled by animal sludge.
We obtained the tender and managed to put in place, build and make operational the power plant.
It was a triple win as this gave a solution to the huge amount of carcass to eliminate.
It produced electrical power, economically efficient.
It was planted within the premises of a great energy consuming third party cement plant, to which the electric power was fed, consequently reducing the consumption from the public grid.
