Salmon Waste Management: The Borger MultiCrusher™ Salmon Crusher
The efficiency of salmon waste management is now improved by the installation of a Borger waste salmon “Multicrusher”. Situated in the midst of the Scottish Islands salmon fishery industry the efficiency and reliability of Borger’s equipment is vital to guarantee the correct shredding of waste salmon to meet environmental and food health security regulations. By […]
Food Waste in Wales: Top World Recycler Accolade for the Welsh
The story of food waste in Wales in recent years has become an inspiration to many in the waste industry in general and the biogas industry in particular. It is so good that the nation that has been described as “hating waste”, has become a world leader for its high rate of organic recycling, ranking […]
Anaerobic Digestion UK Food Waste News 2023: Promoting Sustainable Solutions
This post continues our tradition of providing an annual round-up of Anaerobic Digestion UK Food Waste News, for 2023, this being a part of our policy of promoting sustainable solutions for all organic forms of waste treatment and disposal. In this blog post, we will delve into the latest news and developments surrounding anaerobic digestion […]
Microplastic Contamination in Compost – Composted Green Waste vs Digestate
Microplastic contamination in compost is a problem now, and in geological timescales, all plastic in soils will be washed into the oceans, leading to yet more microplastics in the oceans. But which source of compost is worse for containing microplastics? Composted green waste or the digestate from anaerobic digestion? In this article, we compare both. […]
Food Waste AD – The Anaerobic Digestion of Inedible Food for Energy and Natural Fertiliser
Food Waste AD is the short way to refer to the anaerobic digestion of food waste. In other words, extracting energy from inedible food provides renewable energy and natural fertiliser while diverting environmentally damaging waste away from landfills. That encapsulates the core philosophy of the movement towards food waste AD. “It’s a crying same that […]
UK Food Waste Anaerobic Digestion Plant – Historic 1st Ludlow Digester
In the UK Food Waste, Anaerobic Digestion Plant History began with the dedicated Food Waste AD Waste Technologies Demonstrator Plant, known as the Ludlow Digester, in Shropshire, UK. It was 2004 when the innovative Greenfinch biogas company designed and subsequently built and operated a government-funded plant, opened to process source-separated kitchen waste from council household […]
Daily Mail “Slopbuckets Farce” Food Waste Collection Slur 10 Years On
Yes. It is 10 years since the Daily Mail described separate food waste collection as a “Slopbuckets Farce”. And, we can now look back on 10 years of progress in anaerobic digestion technology and operation since we announced that: “WRAP Defends Anaerobic Digestion from “Slopbuckets Farce” Food Waste Collection Slur“. We said: WRAP Defended Anaerobic […]
Waste Autoclave Pretreatment with Anaerobic Digestion for Household Waste
Waste Autoclave pretreatment of residual household waste, and food waste, for all its undoubted advantages in increased biogas yield from the organic fraction, during subsequent anaerobic digestion, has met with a difficult period. The process now has a poor reputation for safety. Since we originally posted our article on this subject in May 2012, the […]
Anaerobic Digestion of Whey – The Proven Biogas Technology Solution
Disposing of unwanted whey from commercial dairies, was once a considerable problem. But, that was before recent developments in the anaerobic digestion of whey and biogas plant technology. Instead of a problem whey which is not for any reason suitable for food production has become an asset. During the anaerobic digestion process microorganisms break down […]
Food Waste Recycling Machine Raises Purity of Biogas Feed to a New Level
The modern Food Waste Recycling Machine is a new and innovative way to recycle food waste and to produce a pretreated biogas substrate. The machine can depackage food waste, separating it from other waste products. This makes it easier to recycle food waste and reduces the amount of waste that goes to landfill. The demand […]
