Hydrophilic Jointed “Sealwall” Tanks Better Than Other Precast-Concrete or Steel, Say Whites Concrete
Whites recommend the use of their Liquid Holding Tanks and in particular their Hydrophilic Jointed “Sealwall” Tanks as being better than steel and even better than other jointing methods. After intensive in-house development, they point out that their Sealwall precast wall unit system is a robust, precast solution for storing water. It has all the […]
Managed Services for Construction Businesses – Outsourcing IT for Biogas EPC Contractors
It’s quite likely that biogas EPC contractors reading this could benefit from engaging managed services for construction businesses. Recent reports all say the same thing: it’s time for construction contractors to wake up. As a group, our industry is famous for being slow to adopt new technology. We are lagging behind on modern IT services […]
Biochar Benefits: Maximizing Energy Recovery From The Anaerobic Digestion Process
Biochar benefits derive from it being a stable, carbon-rich material produced by heating organic biomass (such as wood waste or crop residues) in a low-oxygen environment, a process known as pyrolysis. Biochar acts as a “permanent” soil improver because it does not decompose like traditional compost. Managing food waste often feels like putting out fires […]
Digestate Slurry Emissions and Acid Addition – AFBI Study
Recent research conducted at the Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute (AFBI) in Hillsborough, County Down, has revealed groundbreaking findings on reducing emissions from digestate slurry. They found that digestate emissions of ammonia are higher for digestate spreading than for traditional methods, and suggested a simple solution. This is not in itself a big concern, as the […]
16 Uses for Biogas Digestate Very Few AD Plant Owners Have Heard of
Biogas digestate it’s use, or disposal is often a vexed question for anaerobic digestion plant owners. Many consider their digestate (i. e. the solid and liquid AD Plant output) to be no more useful than for spreading on their fields. That may be a great use for it and will reduce chemical fertiliser bills. Some, such […]
England’s Food Waste Revolution: Why Composting-Only Tenders Miss a Golden Opportunity
England’s “Food Waste Revolution” is a government-driven initiative focused on mandatory, consistent food waste collection for households and businesses by April 2026, aiming to divert food from landfills into recycling for energy and compost. It has been designed to reduce waste across the food system, ultimately cutting environmental impact and improving resource efficiency. But, as […]
Biogas Plant Project: Plan, Design & Rough Cost Analysis
Explore the viability of biogas plant projects that convert organic waste into renewable energy and fertilizer. With costs typically ranging from $75-100 per cubic meter, proper sizing is key for optimal returns. Achieve ROI in 2-7 years by offsetting costs through energy production and by-products…
Getting Machine Insurance and Protection for Your Biogas & AD Company
Machine insurance for biogas plants is a specialised type of renewable energy insurance that provides financial protection against a range of risks. While it’s primarily used for biogas facility equipment breakdown, it may also include property damage, business interruption and environmental liability. Key Takeaways Biogas and AD facilities rely on complex mechanical, electrical, and biological […]
How to Increase Biogas Yield with Acetolactic Methanogens & Hydrogen-Oxidizing Methanogens
Increase biogas yield with optimized methanogenic pathways: acetoclastic and hydrogenotrophic methanogens boost outputs by 30-95%.
