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? An example image of a US biosolids biogas digester at a sewage works. They are anaerobic digestion process digesters, and very useful they are too! Egg-shaped anaerobic digesters […]
What is the Rate Limiting Step in Anaerobic Digestion?
Hydrolysis is often the rate-limiting step in anaerobic digestion, impacting biogas production. Understanding how hydrolysis and methanogenesis interplay is essential for optimizing systems. Strategies like thermal hydrolysis pretreatment can enhance productivity by overcoming bottlenecks and improving methane output efficiency…
The Role of Anaerobic Digestion in Wastewater Treatment – UASBs EGSBs CSTRs and Staging
Anaerobic digestion transforms wastewater into resources through biogas production, enhancing energy efficiency and reducing emissions. With systems like UASBs and EGSBs, it excels in industrial and low-strength waste treatment. Multi-phase staging boosts efficiency, driving sustainable wastewater solutions forward…
Evaporation Techniques For Digestate And Sludge Management
Managing digestate and sludge is a major headache for biogas plant operators, but worry not! Let our article on Evaporation Techniques For Digestate And Sludge Management bring you up to date! These thick, sticky by-products from anaerobic digestion pile up fast and cost a fortune to transport. Evaporation techniques for biogas digestate involve using heat […]
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 […]
