The Wastepower plant is based on the process of input material dump anaerobic digestion, where micro-organisms break down biodegradable material in the absence of oxygen (anaerobic condition) at a temperature of approximately 35°C-37°C (mesophil process) or at 50-55°C (thermophil process). 

The input biomass (derived from farming and agriculture) is pumped from a pre-treatment section.
The mixture is then sent to the high-concentration, wet digestion process.
The sub-products deriving from anaerobic digestion are biogas and digested. Biogas is a gaseous mixture mainly composed of methane and carbon dioxide, suitable for generating both heat and power. Digested is the output sludge resulting from the anaerobic digestion process, which is separated in two fractions: solid and liquid.

Anaerobic digestion with energy generation
The output biomass is sent to a high-efficiency anaerobic digestion section, where the organic material is broken down and gas is produced under constantly controlled mixing and temperature conditions.

Cogeneration
The output gas is then sent to a cogeneration unit for the combined generation of heat and power. The cogeneration unit is composed of an endothermal engine directly coupled with a power unit. 

The output energy whose output is equal to 38-42% of the input energy, is channelled through a transformation chamber to the national network. Thermal energy is recovered from the engine cooling cycle and the output heat is partially used to heat the digestors and partially is stored for other purposes.
