Gobar Gas the Benefits of Gas from Dung
Gobar gas is also known as “Bio gas” or simply “biogas”. Its main component is animal dung (gobar – India) along with some other organic matter like dead remains of plants and animals. It can be used for cooking, electricity generation and heating purposes. How Does a Gobar Gas Plant Work? A gobar gas plant […]
Advanced Conversion Technologies Extract Energy from Waste – AD Rivals?
Advanced Conversion Technologies is the term for technologies such as gasification and pyrolysis. These could become competitors with Anaerobic Digestion. In fact, a number of innovative advanced, high-temperature processes for Energy from Waste/ Waste to Energy, are beginning to emerge from the far east. Extracting Energy from Waste Provides a Sustainable Source of Energy Advanced […]
Anaerobic Digestion Basics and 5 Tips on How AD Works
We bring you the Anaerobic Digestion Basics (AD) and if you scroll down, 5 tips on how AD Works. AD is in-truth an unhelpful acronym for the basic age-old natural process that produces renewable energy as heat and biogas, and at the same time makes a natural crop fertilizer. That, in a nutshell, is basic […]
Introduction to the Dairy Farm Biogas Production Process
The dairy farm biogas production process begins with the collection of manure and other organic materials from the farm. The organic materials are then mixed with water and degraded by bacteria to create biogas. The biogas is then pressurized, cleaned and purified to grid quality and used to power facilities on the farm. That in […]
Anaerobic Digester Mixing Systems With Lowest Cost of Ownership
Selecting anaerobic digester mixing systems to obtain the lowest cost of ownership is important for any biogas plant operator. To consistently produce a high rate of biogas production, anaerobic digesters rely on efficient mixing systems to break up scum and solids and distribute them throughout the digester. The cost of purchasing, operating, and maintaining these […]
Food Waste AD – The Anaerobic Digestion of Inedible Food for Energy and Natural Fertiliser
Food Waste AD is the short way to refer to the anaerobic digestion of food waste. In other words, extracting energy from inedible food provides renewable energy and natural fertiliser while diverting environmentally damaging waste away from landfills. That encapsulates the core philosophy of the movement towards food waste AD. “It’s a crying same that […]
Mass Extinction in 2100 – Is UNFCCC’s Warning – Implement Biogas Decarbonization Now!
Concerned about accelerating mass extinction in 2100, and subsequently? Read this to find out how maximising biogas production now is an essential tool towards the decarbonization of Europe. By decarbonising quickly the benefits accrue over the years and provide much more benefit in reduced temperature rises, than by doing this later. Scroll down to read […]
UK Food Waste Anaerobic Digestion Plant – Historic 1st Ludlow Digester
In the UK Food Waste, Anaerobic Digestion Plant History began with the dedicated Food Waste AD Waste Technologies Demonstrator Plant, known as the Ludlow Digester, in Shropshire, UK. It was 2004 when the innovative Greenfinch biogas company designed and subsequently built and operated a government-funded plant, opened to process source-separated kitchen waste from council household […]
Better Biogas Production from Wastewater Treatment Works Thickened Sludge
Biogas production improvements that raise the yield of methane from any given quantity of biomass fed into an anaerobic digestion plant are the holy grail of AD. The one thing which, above all else, was holding back the development of anaerobic digestion was the current level of profitability which until the steep energy price rises […]
Biogas GCSE – BBC Bitesize Teaching and Course Content Queries
Anaerobic Decay, Methane Gas and Biogas Generators are all topics students learn in the UK Biogas GCSE student curriculum. Here they are discussed from the point of view of a UK biogas expert. Parents: Did you know that biogas GSCE content is being taught in UK schools? Yes, it is. It is good news that […]
Understanding Aerobic and Anaerobic Digestion – A Comparison
Welcome to the fascinating world of digesting waste! In this article, we’ll be taking a closer look at two processes used to break down organic matter: aerobic and anaerobic digestion. These processes are essential in wastewater treatment and waste management, as they help to reduce the potential environmental impacts of both wastewater and refuse (solid […]
Pipeline Quality Gas and 3 Biomethane Gas to Grid Benefits
Pipeline Quality Gas (i. e. natural gas pipeline quality gas made from biogas) and the acceptance of biogas upgrading technology which purifies raw biogas to pipeline quality is the greatest success story of the anaerobic digestion industry of the last 10 years. Acceptance of their “pipeline quality gas” (i.e biomethane) by the natural gas network […]
Advantages of Circular Economy
The circular economy is an increasingly popular concept with many sustainability advantages that are gaining traction within many industries. In this blog post, we will explore the 7 main benefits of the circular economy and how it can help businesses to operate more sustainably and efficiently. We will look at how the circular economy can […]
Daily Mail “Slopbuckets Farce” Food Waste Collection Slur 10 Years On
Yes. It is 10 years since the Daily Mail described separate food waste collection as a “Slopbuckets Farce”. And, we can now look back on 10 years of progress in anaerobic digestion technology and operation since we announced that: “WRAP Defends Anaerobic Digestion from “Slopbuckets Farce” Food Waste Collection Slur“. We said: WRAP Defended Anaerobic […]
Waste Autoclave Pretreatment with Anaerobic Digestion for Household Waste
Waste Autoclave pretreatment of residual household waste, and food waste, for all its undoubted advantages in increased biogas yield from the organic fraction, during subsequent anaerobic digestion, has met with a difficult period. The process now has a poor reputation for safety. Since we originally posted our article on this subject in May 2012, the […]
