Biogas Digester Tank Mixer Chosen for High Methane Output at New Taiwan AD Plant
Editor’s Note – August 2025 Update When we first published this article back in December 2021, it was in the early days of Taiwan’s ambitious journey into livestock-based biogas production. At the time, we spotlighted a rising star in digester mixing: the Landia GasMix system. Four years later, this is far from being old news. […]
Conveyor Belts for the Food Industry and Organic Waste Recycling
Find out about conveyor belts for the food industry, and you’ll know more about applying the same technology in the biowaste and food waste anaerobic digestion industry as well. That’s what we thought when we decided to blog about food industry conveyors. Read on and see what you think about these belts, and your comments […]
Anaerobic Digestion Plants: Process, Benefits & Efficiency.
Anaerobic digestion plants employ the anaerobic digestion process to turn organic matter, such as food waste and manure, into biogas and digestate. The biogas, primarily methane and carbon dioxide, can be used to generate electricity, heat, or even fuel vehicles. The digestate, a nutrient-rich substance, can be used as a fertiliser for agriculture. Key Takeaways – […]
Digester Tankage
Today, we discuss the topic of digester tankage, otherwise known as anaerobic digestion tanks. Small Home/ Domestic Biogas Digester Tankage In this article, we start at the smallest scale of anaerobic digestion plant tankage, those being for single houses up to community-scale AD plants. Although time-honoured designs of buried AD plants, constructed in masonry, remain […]
Concrete vs Steel Biogas Tanks for Anaerobic Digestion Plants
Concrete vs. steel biogas tanks and which is the best material for Anaerobic Digestion Plants is the subject of this page, based on a Press Release provided by the precast concrete manufacturer, Whites Concrete. We refer to precast concrete units made and cured in the factory versus steel biogas tanks fabricated from mild steel panels […]
