Primary processing
Revision as of 09:46, 27 August 2021 by Lars Krause (talk | contribs)
Primary processing of biowaste results in intermediate chemicals and/or materials which will then go into the secondary processing after which the final product is obtained. While some technologies are used exclusively for primary processing, others (such as the separation technologies) can used for both primary and secondary processing.
