Facts and Figures
The following facts and figures are provided to give an overall impression of the system capabilities and performance. They are by no means static and the system can be adapted to meet a range of different customer requirements and waste streams:

  • Proven in commercial & operational conditions
  • Can be engineered to recover up to 90% of waste resources
  • No need for pre-sorting of waste
  • Modular plant. Basic module, consists of two hydromechanical sorting lines treating about 200 tonnes/day
  • Produces biogas (~70-80% CH4) used for electricity generation and municipal transportation
  • Can recover and clean plastics, metals and glass
  • Lower costs than other new methods
  • No odour nuisance or other air, water and ground pollutions
  • No need for high temperatures or pressures; ArrowBio is a benign, environmentally synergistic process
  • Produces high quality stabilised compost (fertiliser) and treated water

Plant treatment rate: 200 tonnes per day increasing in 100 tonne modular units

Footprint: ~10,000 square metres (based on 70,000 tonne double module)

Environmental impact:

  • No odour nuisance
  • Treatment of excess water to the municipal standards
  • High standard organic soil improver
  • Uses all methane, preventing emission into atmosphere
    Estimated man power: 20 workers (including manager and technician)


Biogas production:

About 18,000m3/day, composition 70-80% methane (organic waste component dependent).


Power generation capacity:

2.5-3 MW continuous using gas generators.


Fertiliser/soil amendment produced:

15-20% of the organic dry weight input. Fully stabilised and free off metals, glass and other pollutants.
