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 of Manure & Biogas Plant Productivity Doubled In Tests
Here we discuss the Anaerobic Digestion of Manure: The first section is a general informational article, followed by our original article where we explain their 2017 breakthrough in the throughput of manure-fed AD Plants described by the Ductor biogas company using chicken manure. Anaerobic digestion (AD) of dairy manure provides several environmental and economic benefits, […]
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 in Australia
The development of anaerobic digestion in Australia, after a slow start, does now seem to be picking up momentum. The process is well-known for its renewable energy production. It is less known that the biogas sector provides an alternate waste treatment method while also helping to boost local economies, but Australians are waking up to […]
Biogas Digester Tank Mixer Chosen for High Methane Output at New Taiwan AD Plant
The biogas digester tank mixer which has been chosen for its high methane output at a new Taiwan AD Plant is the Landia GasMix. This best-in-class efficiency is already reported, in the Press Release below, to be providing, not only: the hoped-for sustainable biogas energy, but other notable spin-offs in reduced polluting manure discharges and […]
Using Conveyor Belts for the Food Industry
Find out about conveyor belts for the food industry, and you’ll know more about applying the same technology in the biowaste and food waste anaerobic digestion industry as well. That’s what we thought when we decided to blog about food industry conveyors. Read on and see what you think about these belts, and your comments […]
Landia’s GasMix System Installed at Cory’s First Anaerobic Digestion Plant
Landia’s acclaimed GasMix System is at the heart of the biogas making process using anaerobic-digestion, at Cory Environmental. Cory, with over 40 sites are one of the UK’s leading recycling, waste management and energy recovery companies. In March 2014, Cory unveiled its first anaerobic digestion facility. it produces renewable energy to power local homes. Cory’s […]
Brewdog Brewery Makes Biogas from Leftover Grain But How is Brewdog Carbon Negative?
The Brewdog Brewery makes biogas from leftover grain and that helps fight climate change by producing renewable energy, reducing carbon emissions, and lowering global temperature rises. But, how is Brewdog’s business operation overall carbon negative? Let’s start with a definition: “Carbon negativity is achieved when a business or individual removes more carbon from the atmosphere […]
