Common Anaerobic Digester Foaming Issues and How to Solve Them
Anaerobic digester foaming can disrupt treatment processes, caused by high organic loads and filamentous bacteria. Prevention involves careful management and monitoring. Addressing root causes upstream and considering anti-foam agents can mitigate issues. Effective control ensures operational stability and prevents serious operational problems from escalating into costly disruptions…
How Microplastics in Wastewater Disrupt Anaerobic Digestion and Threaten Sludge Treatment
In this article we report on new research that reveals how microplastics disrupt anaerobic digestion and threaten sludge treatment due to the increasing presence of these tiny plastic particles in sewage works sludge (known as biosolids). A recent study published in the Journal of Hazardous Materials highlights the detrimental effects of microplastics (MPs) on sludge […]
How to Make Biogas from Human Waste
Many communities struggle with waste management and energy shortages. These problems often go hand in hand, especially in developing countries—causing environmental pollution and limiting economic growth. Biogas from human waste offers a groundbreaking solution. This advanced technology converts human excreta into renewable energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions while improving sanitation. 2 This blog will explain […]
Anaerobic Digestion Vs. Incineration: A Comparison Of Waste Treatment Methods
Anaerobic digestion vs incineration may seem like a strange comparison to make. But now that many people in the waste management industry do, these days, rightfully recognize anaerobic digestion as an alternative, and often much better, alternative to incineration, the comparison of the two waste treatment methods is relevant. However, navigating the pros and cons […]
Biogas Digester Mixing Systems Go Big for Landia in Indonesia
A large order for Landia’s biogas digester mixing systems is to boost Landia’s presence in Indonesia. In the heart of Indonesia, amidst the lush landscapes of Java, a remarkable transformation is underway. It’s a tale that begins with grass materials but ends with something truly magical – clean, renewable biogas energy. But this isn’t the […]
Biogas Yield from Sewage Sludge Increases Up To 30% in Existing AD Plants
Today we are delighted to report the good news that water utility companies in the UK are achieving a significantly improved biogas yield from sewage sludge, with increases of up To 30% in their existing AD Plants, through improved reliability and simple upgrades to their main reactor tank mixing equipment. [boomdevs_toc] Now read our case […]
Use of Biochar in Biogas Production: Its Amazing Benefits Explained
We explain how the use of Biochar in Biogas Production is a symbiotic combination with a hitherto unsuspected set of benefits which by enhancing clean energy production may now be the game changer for biogas and biomethane production it always needed to become the low-cost technology of choice for massive sustainable renewable energy production. Introducing […]
Landia Pasteurizers for ABP Pathogen Free Fertilizers & Soil Improvers
Are you a biogas plant operator accepting ABP waste and concerned about the spread of diseases through conventional fertilizers and soil improvers? Here’s a fact: Landia’s pasteurisers can create Animal By-products Regulations (ABP) – compliant pathogen-risk-free product outputs. This blog will offer insights into how these devices deactivate harmful organisms to ensure safe, high-quality soil improver and fertiliser products. […]
Digester Wastewater Treatment – Understanding Digestion of Sewage Works Sludge
Read this for an understanding of digester wastewater treatment, which to most people means the digestion of sewage works sludge. Yes. We are talking about the crappy solid matter in foul sewage! But don’t recoil from this subject because this detritus has great potential to assist the world in reducing greenhouse gas emissions! [boomdevs_toc] Introduction […]
Landia Digester Mixing System Boosts Biogas Output by 20%
In his case study, we explain how a Landia Digester Mixing System has raised all-important biogas output by 20%. This improvement has been maintained for over 2 years since installation and has enabled Downers Grove Wastewater Treatment Center to become 100 percent net energy neutral. Press Release (18 January 2020): Landia Digester Mixing System Increases […]
Sludge Digester Efficiency Raised at World-Class Nigg Wastewater Plant
Sludge Digesters are being used increasingly by water utility companies, and they can be important as energy providers in these times of high nonrenewable energy prices, so the fact that sludge digester efficiency has been raised significantly at a Wastewater Plant is significant. Scroll down to see the original Press Release from May 2019. The Need […]
Low Cost Faecal Sludge Management by Anaerobic Digestion Co-Disposal
Before discussing low-cost faecal sludge management and the role of Anaerobic Digestion Co-Disposal, let’s start by defining faecal sludge (also spelled “fecal”). What is Faecal Sludge Management? Thankfully, that’s easy. Wikipedia tells us: Fecal sludge management (FSM) (or faecal sludge management in British English) is the collection, transport, and treatment of fecal sludge from pit […]
What is Sewage Sludge? Wastewater Treatment Sludge Biosolids
If you are asking; “What is Sewage Sludge?” read on and you will find sewage sludge, biosolids and Wastewater Treatment Sludge are all defined and explained here. What does SEWAGE SLUDGE mean? Source: Wikipedia.org article, adapted under this licence. Sewage sludge is the remaining, semi-solid material that is left over after the cleaned-up water is […]
Biomethane in Australia Starts on Demand for RNG & Low Carbon Transport Fuel
Biomethane in Australia is getting started. The construction of Australia’s first biomethane plant has begun as public and industrial demand for renewable natural gas and low-carbon transportation fuels rises. The country also has a new government that is willing to go above and beyond in many aspects of climate change mitigation. The result is that […]
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 […]
