    FS29_05.09 Use of anaerobic digestion for food waste treatment in Orkney

    Shellfish waste is a major financial and operational burden to the seafood processing industry. Current estimates show that around 63,000 tonnes of shellfish waste is sent for disposal each year at a cost of almost £3,000,000. In theory there are many uses for shell, but to date there is no one solution to treating and subsequently using these materials as by-products. Most processors rely on disposal outlets costing up to £150 per tonne of waste. Shellfish processors want simple, local, cost-effective solutions for managing shellfish waste. Anaerobic digestion (AD) has been identified as a potential solution. The process produces methane which can be used to generate electricity, and create digestate (fertiliser) which has applications in agriculture and horticulture. Heat and Power Ltd. were part funded by Seafish to evaluate the potential of AD as a solution to the shellfish waste disposal problem for Orkney based shellfish and food processors. The main aims of the project were to consider whether AD could reduce commercial waste disposal costs, and if it could be a sustainable waste management solution for the island. It included a small-scale batch digester trial on crab shells. This factsheet summarises the results of the project.
