The study “Analysis of the possibilities for Biogas utilization from a wastewater treatment plant” was presented on September 22 at the Forum 26 business building, in collaboration with the Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy at the University of Belgrade.
The study is part of our wastewater treatment plant project and explores the most optimal ways to utilize the biogas produced, taking into account technical feasibility, financial sustainability, and environmental protection. Proposed solutions include: the production of process steam, drying of sludge from the WWTP and waste fibers, and the installation of a combined heat and power (CHP) plant.
Speakers at the event included:
- Nikola Pejović, Director, Umka Cardboard Mill
- Sandra Lazić, Ministry of Environmental Protection, Department for Climate Change
- Žarko Petrović, UNDP
- Andreja Vidal, European Union Delegation
- Saša Dobrić, Director of Operations, Umka – presentation on production process improvements and product quality
- Andrej Selaković, Pulp Preparation and Water Treatment Engineer, Umka – presentation on the biological wastewater treatment plant project
- Žanko Sremac, Quality Control Director, Umka – presentation on the preparation of IPPC permit applications
- Prof. Dr. Mirjana Kijevčanin, Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy – presentation of the biogas utilization analysis
The event was attended by representatives from the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the Secretariat for Environmental Protection of the City of Belgrade, the Serbian Chamber of Commerce, the Swiss Embassy, UNDP, the European Investment Bank as well as numerous domestic and international companies.
The wastewater treatment plant project is being implemented with the support of the European Union as part of the UNDP initiative “EU for the Green Agenda in Serbia.”
