Exploring the Role of Methanogens in Anaerobic Digestion
Discover the crucial role of methanogens in anaerobic digestion. These microscopic powerhouses convert organic waste into methane, optimizing renewable energy production from biogas systems. Learn how factors like temperature and pH impact their efficacy, and explore the versatility of species like Methanosarcina in boosting biogas yields…
How Much Biogas? Info, Guide & Calculator
How much biogas is an important question. The amount of biogas produced varies greatly by feedstock, with examples like cattle slurry yielding 15-25 m³/ton, poultry 30-100 m³/ton, and grass silage 160-200 m³/ton, while 1 kg of kitchen waste can yield about 0.07 m³ of methane, enough to power a lamp for 50 hours or drive […]
Best Digester Cleaning Services & How to Avoid Tank Cleanouts with Advanced Depackaging & Separation
Digester cleaning prevents costly failures by removing sludge and grit. Professional services boost biogas production and extend equipment life. Advanced depackaging reduces cleanout needs. Proper separation extends maintenance intervals, saving costs from neglected systems and avoiding penalties, making them a vital part of digester care…
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 Dairy 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 […]
Biogas Yield Analysis & Best Practices: Maximizing Output from Food Waste
Food waste can generate up to 0.65 m³ of biogas per kg of dry matter. Optimising conditions like temperature, pH, and co-digestion with other substrates can significantly boost biogas yields, transforming organic waste into a sustainable energy source while reducing environmental impact…
UK Anaerobic Digestion Capacity Now Powers Over 2 Million Homes: A Remarkable Growth Story
From One Million to Over 2 Million: The Extraordinary Journey Continues Back in 2017, we celebrated a significant milestone when UK anaerobic digestion (AD) capacity had grown enough to power one million homes. At the time, we were cautiously optimistic about the industry’s future, wondering if the rapid growth rate could be sustained. Today, we’re […]
Biogas Digester Tank Mixer Chosen for High Methane Output at New Taiwan AD Plant
Editor’s Note – August 2025 Update When we first published this article back in December 2021, it was in the early days of Taiwan’s ambitious journey into livestock-based biogas production. At the time, we spotlighted a rising star in digester mixing: the Landia GasMix system. Four years later, this is far from being old news. […]
Maximizing Methane Production in Sludge Anaerobic Digestion with Choline Chloride
Waste treatment plants face a major challenge: how to get more energy from sewage sludge. The current methods often fail to break down tough organic matter, which limits biogas output. This problem costs plants money and wastes a chance to create more clean energy. Many experts now look for better ways to boost methane yields from […]
Dairy Digesters Boost Farm Income: Biogas Plant Integration Tips
Dairy digesters transform farm waste into revenue streams and reduce environmental impact. They generate electricity, carbon credits, and premium fertilizer income. Strategic integration and government incentives boost viability, making anaerobic digesters an asset in sustainable dairy farm management…
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 Feedstock Pre-Treatment Equipment Guide & Steps
Why is everyone in the biogas (anaerobic digestion) industry so keen to pre-treat their feedstock? Because anaerobic digestion feedstock pre-treatment is a classic case of getting more from less while reducing costs/raising profitability. In this article, we explore the available biogas feedstock pre-treatment systems. Among renewable energy technologies, anaerobic digestion (AD) has gained popularity in […]
Milestones in Sustainable Agriculture Attained by Value4Farm Project
The Value4Farm Project Reaches Key Milestones in Sustainable Agriculture The Horizon Europe Value4Farm project has made significant progress in its mission to integrate renewable energy production with farming operations. This €6.9 million initiative demonstrates how biogas and agrivoltaic technologies can be successfully implemented on farms across Europe, with the dual goals of reducing agriculture’s carbon […]
Digester Mixing Theory and Landia GasMix Review on their 30th Anniversary!
Read on for our discussion of CSTR Digester Mixing Theory and our Landia GasMix Review, plus congratulations to Landia UK on celebrating 30-years in business! Introduction to Digester Mixing Theory Manufacturers that offer anaerobic digestion plant mixing systems will tell you that operators that seek better biogas plant efficiency and have digesters that lack mixing, […]
Improving Biogas Plant Efficiency – Why Ferrous Chloride Dosing Not Ferric Chloride is Best
Seeking to improve biogas plant efficiency and understanding why Ferrous Chloride, Not Ferric Chloride, is the best of the two as a dosing additive within a balanced biogas output-raising product. During a recent exhibition stand enquiry I was making, an expert from Lukeneder helped me understand this point. She explained the differences between Ferrous Chloride […]
Raising Biogas Energy Potential: Anaerobic Digestion Biomass Conversion Explained
Struggling with low biogas yields from your anaerobic digesters? Many plant operators experience this issue, often due to inefficiencies in biomass conversion during the anaerobic digestion process. Anaerobic Digestion Biomass Conversion can be complex, but it’s crucial for boosting biomethane production and achieving sustainable energy goals. One key fact—using innovative technologies like SMASH by Alps […]
