Borger’s FlowSep: Cutting the Fines That Damage Biogas Plants
Our sponsor Börger sent us this press release under the headline “‘Fines’ reduced at biogas plants by Börger’s FlowSep” – and yes, before anything else, it’s worth being upfront about the headline itself. It’s a deliberate play on words. In everyday English, “fine” tends to mean a financial penalty, and we suspect more than a […]
Optimizing Anaerobic Digestion: How Chemical Dosing Cabinets Ensure Biological Stability & Process Reliability
The Importance of Best Practice in the Provision of Precise Dosing in Anaerobic Digestion Process Control Maintaining optimal biology inside an anaerobic digester requires precise chemical control. Whether adding alkalis (such as sodium hydroxide or lime) to buffer pH against Volatile Fatty Acid (VFA) accumulation, dosing trace elements (like cobalt, nickel, and iron) to feed […]
Precision Machining and Metal Fabrication for Anaerobic Digestion Pumps
Anaerobic digestion plants may be recognised by their large tanks, pipework and gas holders, but some of their hardest-working components are hidden inside pumps and macerators. Precisely machined rotors, shafts, wear plates, cutting parts and sealing surfaces help keep abrasive, fibrous feedstock moving towards the digester—and keep a small mechanical problem from becoming a costly […]
