4 Anaerobic Digestion Myths Finally Shattered
Here are the four Anaerobic Digestion Myths which we believe to have been completely “shattered” and shown to be completely untrue. Our evidence is provided by the Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association in the Autumn 2018 issue of their News Magazine. The exposure of these myths is based upon their official reply to that Sunday […]
Landia Pasteurizer is ABP Compliant – Fish Waste Treatment Etc
A Landia pasteurizer is a device used in fish waste treatment. This pasteurizer is an approved Animal By-Products (ABP) pasteurizer. This pasteurizer has a wide range of benefits. In addition to improved fish waste management, a Landia pasteurizer is also environmentally friendly. This machine has been helpful to the Isle of Lewis, a small Scottish […]
Farm Methane Digesters – What to Know About Cow Power
Farm methane digesters are large tanks, or covered lagoons, where organic materials from the dairy farm are stored and broken down by bacteria and organisms called archaea to make renewable methane gas. These are also known as anaerobic digesters: facilities that harness the power of methane produced by decomposing cow waste and convert it into […]
Horse Manure Biogas Plants
Horse manure biogas plants are facilities where horse manure is degraded by microorganisms such as bacteria and archaea to produce methane-rich biogas. This gas can be used to generate electricity or heat, or it can be used as a transportation fuel. Horse manure biogas plants are a relatively new technology, but they are becoming more […]
REPowerEU Plan Includes Ambitious Biomethane Target for 2030
The REPowerEU Plan is the European Commission’s plan to make Europe independent from Russian fossil fuels well before 2030, in the light of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. It is the EU’s response to the hardships and global energy market disruption caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. What is the REPowerEU Plan? The majority of European […]
What was the RHI? The UK Renewable Heat Incentive that Closed in 2022
So, what was the RHI? “RHI UK” is shorthand for Renewable Heat Incentive, a government subsidy that closed in 2022. The UK’s Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI UK) was introduced to help kick-start the transition to low-carbon heating in the UK, giving help to all in moving from conventional forms of heating to low-carbon alternatives. Although […]
Landia AD Pumps and Mixers Supply Global Anaerobic Digestion Market
Anaerobic digestion process (AD or biogas) pumps, frequently known simply as AD Pumps, are supplied by Landia globally and used at various stages of the biogas production process; Liquid manure pumps are used at the start in livestock farm digesters, followed by Digester pumps are used where the collected waste is transferred to the digester, […]
Biogas Information – (Biogas-Info) – The “Official” UK Anaerobic Digestion Information Portal
The Biogas Info website was created in 2009 as an independent authoritative resource on all things AD. The creation of the site was supported byte UK Government and industry. The site was developed and is maintained by NNFCC. Anaerobic digestion (AD) is the breakdown of organic material by micro-organisms in the absence of oxygen. AD […]
The Importance of Biogas to Big Cities and Rural Villages
Biogas is an important technology being, as it is, produced by the natural anaerobic digestion process. So, we decided to write about the importance of biogas to life in a Big City and also the importance of biogas to Rural Villages (Scroll down). But before you do that read on for a more general discussion: […]
Are Anaerobic Digesters Truly Green and How Do They Work?
Anaerobic digesters are a popular alternative energy technology and their use is growing, but are they as green as their promoters would suggest? In order to discuss this, we also include information on how they work as the claims of climate reduction are really quite remarkable and need detailed explanation in order for our readers […]
List of Anaerobic Digestion Training Course Providers
The demand for Anaerobic Digestion Training is growing as the number of commercial anaerobic digestion plants increases. In this article, we provide a list of some of the courses in biogas plants and their operation currently being offered. We are sure there must be many more. If when you read this, you know of more, […]
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 […]
