Anaerobic Digestion
Egg Shaped Anaerobic Digesters – Strange Looking Tanks Explained
Egg Shaped Anaerobic Digesters; Enormous eggs! Whatever next! Have you ever wondered what those huge “strangely other-world like” not quite “spherical” tanks are that you sometimes see? They are anaerobic digestion process digesters, and very useful they are too! They make sewage sludge much more wholesome and in particular, they reduce sludge odour, but best […]
Anaerobic Digestion in Wastewater Treatment – UASBs EGSBs and Staging
The Role of Anaerobic Digestion in Wastewater Management Typically, anaerobic digestion (AD) has been used for municipal wastewater sludge treatment, and in the industrial wastewater sector for COD/ BOD reduction as in the Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Bed (UASB). Only very rarely has it been used to treat industrial effluent the vast majority of which continues […]
Biogas Inhibition Tests for Inhibitors Such as High Ammonia in AD Substrates
Quick Biogas Inhibition Tests to identify inhibitors in Biogas Substrates are badly needed by the commercial biogas plant industry. Traditional methods such as the Diary Farmer’s “Aerobic Plate Count” inhibitor test are not directly applicable to anaerobic biogas conditions, so a New Biogas Substrate Inhibition Test Method has been badly needed. Read on to find […]
Anaerobic Digestion UK Capacity Enough to Power 1 Million Homes – Future Doubts Continue
It was 2017 when we announced that UK Anaerobic Digestion capacity had grown rapidly to be enough to power 1 million homes. But, we doubted that growth of the industry at the same rate would continue in future years. To be able to power 1 million homes is big! In fact, it’s a very significant […]
Anaerobic Digestion Process Steps
The Anaerobic Digestion Process Steps, which result in biogas (renewable fuel) and natural fertiliser, are explained on this page. The process (which is known as “AD”) is an increasingly attractive waste and biofuel crop treatment process in which both pollution control and energy recovery can be achieved. The result is known as renewable energy or […]
