Technical Report on Bedminster

More information about this independent and comprehensive review of the Bedminster process for managing waste

Full Review: This report is updated and expands on an earlier review on this process that was published by Juniper in March 2005.  It contains new analysis and additional data based on discussions with operators and others during 2005 and 2006.  Juniper has also undertaken site visits to appraise key reference plants since the publication of the earlier report.

Bedminster market a technology that has been used for prolonged periods at several reference plants around the world at both large and small scale.  This independent, up-to-date report can help you to assess whether this process is a contender for your application.

The technology has been used as a mixed waste composting system and is now also being marketed, in two variants, for MBT applications.  The report assesses its suitability for these different uses, reports on its performance track record and assesses risk factors.

What’s in the review:

This is the most comprehensive review available of this process in the public domain.  It analyses the current status of the process, and examines the issues which would be of most interest to potential customers.  It includes the following:

  • Current commercial status
  • Key reference plants
  • Details of the two applications which the company is now promoting
  • Advantages and disadvantages of the process

Examples of specific potential issues identified and discussed within the report include:

  • How certain are the markets for the outputs, and what does this do to a project’s viability?
  • Should potential customers be concerned that the biofuel variant is not proven in operation as yet?
  • Can the process operate without a sludge co-feed?
  • Should potential customers be concerned that the new owners of the technology have not yet delivered a project themselves?
