How to Use Digestate from Anaerobic Digestion Plants in Agriculture
It’s not plain sailing to use digestate in agriculture, so we thought that we would explain how one farm uses their digestate in their agricultural business in the UK. Using Digestate from Anaerobic Digestion Plants in Agriculture Anaerobic digestion is a controlled biological process using biodegradable materials such as food waste and animal manures, to […]
3 Anaerobic Sludge Digestion Case Studies
These three anaerobic sludge digestion case studies explain how water utility companies are embracing the anaerobic digestion process as their method of choice for the treatment of the vast quantities of solid sludge materials which they aerate and settle out of the sewage entering their sewage works every day. While doing that they produce a […]
What is Biogas? An Introduction to a Sustainable Energy Source
In another article in our series on “What is Biogas?”, we provide an introduction to this gas as a sustainable energy source. What is biogas? A Definition Biogas is the methane-rich bacterial waste product of the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter in the absence of oxygen. Biogas is a renewable energy source that is produced […]
How to Improve Sewage Sludge Treatment – A Water Industry AD Plant Performance Review
Anaerobic digestion has been shown to be the best technology for treating wastewater from sewage systems globally and is increasingly being used in sewage treatment. The properties of sludge can be modified during anaerobic digestion and produce biogas as a result of the treatment, as well as several positive effects on sludge management. Anaerobic digestion […]
Metal Fabrication: The Basics of Precision Machining Essential to the AD Industry
Stay with us while we look at metal fabrication as a fundamental technology, one of the basics of precision machining and also essential to the AD Industry. This is one of our occasional articles in which we look at the basic foundations of current technology. Without modern metal fabrication techniques such as metal stamping services […]
ADBA Calls for Ban on Russian Natural Gas Imports
The UK could ban Russian Natural Gas Imports and the gas demand could be directly replaced with home-grown biomethane within the next four years. Isn’t it time to stop talking about what can be done to halt Putin, and take action? Read the Press Release below and provide a comment if you support this view: […]
Biogas Digester Cost and Amazing Farm Fertiliser Savings
Stay on this page if you want our views on biogas digester cost and to see a case study on the dramatic fertiliser cost savings which were the result of fitting a new mixer system designed to raise the profitability of AD plants. How much does it cost to build a biogas plant? Biogas plant […]
Adapt or Die – Climate Change Adaptation for the Biogas Industry
Adapt or Die is all about Climate Change Adaptation and it will be an essential part of government and business strategy across all industries including for anaerobic digestion and for the biogas industry. In all the discussions about climate change around COP26 what seems to have been forgotten is that our climate is changing and […]
Veolia and Anaerobic Digestion – Global Waste Company Embraces Circularity
In this article, we look at how Veolia and anaerobic digestion (AD) are progressing together, as an example of how one global waste company is building their investment in biogas technology as it embraces circularity across the business. This post is a compilation of our research, based upon the information provided by the company across […]
Large Stainless Steel Tanks with Long Design Life for Wastewater Treatment
We were impressed to read the Press Release which is included below, about a German company (Stallkamp) that provides large stainless steel tanks with one of the longest design-life expectancies on the market, for Wastewater Treatment. As wastewater treatment and AD systems designers in the past, we have at times found it practically impossible to […]
The True Function of a Biogas Plant | Benefits Listed by Real Farmers
Answering the question of the function of biogas plants. Many people new to the industry would say that the true function of a Biogas Plant is surely simply to make biogas… Full stop! end of discussion. And yet, this would be at odds with the long list of other AD Plant benefits invariably listed by […]
Anaerobic Digestion in Scotland Key to Sustainable Scottish Energy Strategy
Anaerobic Digestion in Scotland is seen by policymakers as being the key to a sustainable Scottish Energy Strategy. 100% renewable energy from the digestion of biodegradable waste helps tackle climate change, instead of contributing to climate change through landfilling and incineration. This energy output helps cut fossil fuel use and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. There are […]
Get a Higher Price for Biogas from Waste with Renewable Gas Guarantees of Origin (RGGOs)
Biogas plant owners can now get a higher price for biogas or biomethane made from waste organics (biowaste) than for biogas or biomethane which uses food crops in their feedstock. Argus, one of the world’s top energy and commodity intelligence companies, has just released prices for biomethane guarantees of origin. Biomethane can be used as […]
High Rate Anaerobic Digestion Plant Treats Wastewater Effluent Streams
By definition, a High Rate Anaerobic Digestion Plant can effectively handle high-strength wastewater effluent streams, such as sewage sludge. To be high rate it needs to be able to provide the necessary reactions at a higher rate than traditional biogas process plant which need a 30 day retention period or longer. Back in 2017, we […]
Biogas in South Korea
The prospect for Biogas in South Korea is looking up! Since President Moon Jae-in took office, the prospects for anaerobic digestion in South Korea have increased. The government has been making strenuous efforts to attain autonomy in the electricity and heat sectors, as well as to considerably expand the percentage of renewable energies. Increasing the […]
