Data related to feedstock supply, logistics and engineering work for Pilot 5 (Biosolvents) in WaysTUP! project

The objectives of this dataset were to describe the feedstock supply, logistics and engineering work carried out for PILOT 5. A description of the design, construction and final start-up of the pilot is also included. PILOT 5 is located in Athens (Greece). Feedstock material is source-separated biowaste provided by the Municipality of Vari-Voula-Vouliagmeni under the supervision of SUST. The necessary logistics for continuous and stable feedstock supply were arranged by SUST and verified by NTUA. PILOT 5 is a pre-existing installation developed in the framework of the LIFE WASTE2BIO project (LIFE11 ENV/GR/000949 and is installed in the premises of NTUA. For the purposes of the WaysTUP!, this prototype plant was upgraded in order to meet the project’s needs. It includes a dehydration unit, a bioconversion unit and a distillation unit for the recovery of the produced ethanol. The working volume of the bioreactors is 400L and up to 80kg/d dried biowaste could be treated depending on the selected operational parameters.
