[ Product listing ](/en/technologies-0 " Product listing") #### BiometTM is a standardized 2-stage wet anaerobic digestion process particularly suitable for the treatment of biomass with a high content of solids and organic substances (domestic, industrial and agricultural waste and by-products, sludge). Its characteristics of great flexibility and efficiency are particularly suitable for the co-digestion of biomasses with great variability in number, quality and quantity. [CONTACT AN EXPERT](https://www.veoliawatertechnologies.com/en/contact) [Overview](#1) [Applications](#2) [Services](#3) [Resources](#4) ## Overview **BIOMET™** is the technology of **anaerobic digestion** for the production of **biogas** or **biomethane** from biomass such as: - Organic fraction of municipal solid waste (F.O.R.S.U.) - Waste and by-products from the food industries; - Agricultural by-products and manure; - Organic sludge ### Organic waste chain (FORSU) The "must" of the supply chain - **Completeness**: the entire system in a single "block" with synergy between the sections - **Flexibility**: waste varies in quantity and quality and must be processed quickly - **Circularity**: minimize waste and maximize re-use - **Foot-print**: minimum use of resources (water, energy, raw materials) - **Efficiency**: maximize yield (organic-C conversion into Bio-Methane) - **Reliability**: industrial design: easy maintenance, continuity of operation ### Features and Benefits **BiometTM** it is robust, stable and easy to use. The processes of waste methanization (or co-digestion) guarantee a **higher utilization rate** than any other existing anaerobic plant. All mechanical equipment (mixing systems, heat exchangers, process control) is external to the reactors. This enables **preventive maintenance** without any process interruption and thus optimizes energy yields. ![](/sites/g/files/dvc2471/files/styles/default/public/image/2020/12/71946-585x.webp-BIOMET-_---plus-di-processo.jpg.webp?itok=rsAvOH8P) ### Benefits - Reduction of operating costs thanks to easy maintenance and the possibility of reducing feeding times (batch feed) - The high stability allows for managing the process in thermophilic conditions with the aim of reducing the volumes of the digesters and therefore reducing the investments - This process avoids the loss of flare gas, optimizes the performance of biomethane purification plants and increases the efficiency of cogeneration engines **Obtaining energy from waste is the challenge that Veolia won a long time ago! The industrial approach that distinguishes Veolia Water Technologies Italia in the construction of Biomet™ plants allows our customers to concentrate on their business, letting all the advantages deriving from the production of clean energy from what is normally considered "waste" become a substantial added value.** [Do you have a question about this technology?
