Anaerobic Digestion
Understanding Aerobic and Anaerobic Digestion – A Comparison
Welcome to the fascinating world of digesting waste! In this article, we’ll be taking a closer look at two processes used to break down organic matter: aerobic and anaerobic digestion. These processes are essential in wastewater treatment and waste management, as they help to reduce the potential environmental impacts of both wastewater and refuse (solid […]
Advantages of Circular Economy
The circular economy is an increasingly popular concept with many sustainability advantages that are gaining traction within many industries. In this blog post, we will explore the 7 main benefits of the circular economy and how it can help businesses to operate more sustainably and efficiently. We will look at how the circular economy can […]
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 in the US: 6 Federal and State Incentives and Funding
The use of biogas as an energy source is on the rise in the United States, due to both federal and state incentives and funding initiatives. Biogas is a renewable energy source produced from the decomposition of organic matter, such as food waste, manure, and other organic materials. In this blog article, we will explore […]
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 […]
Call for AD Contracts for Difference (CfD) Scheme for Small-scale Renewable Energy
On the day that the UK didn’t leave Europe, the trade association ADBA called for a Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme for Small-scale Renewable Energy including biogas. (Not sure you understand what CfDs are? If so, scroll down to our explanation below!) Why choose a day when, amongst the Brexit furor, almost nobody would be […]
Low Cost Faecal Sludge Management by Anaerobic Digestion Co-Disposal
Before discussing low-cost faecal sludge management and the role of Anaerobic Digestion Co-Disposal, let’s start by defining faecal sludge (also spelled “fecal”). What is Faecal Sludge Management? Thankfully, that’s easy. Wikipedia tells us: Fecal sludge management (FSM) (or faecal sludge management in British English) is the collection, transport, and treatment of fecal sludge from pit […]
CCC Net Zero & 2050 Climate Change Reduction is Too Late!
The CCC Net Zero Reporting update of 2022 is a major step towards the 2050 Climate Change Reduction Target. It is important to have anaerobic digestion as a part of the national effort in order to achieve the required level of GHG reduction. But, the target is too slow and unlikely even if achieved to […]
