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 […]
UASB Reactor Design, Process & Advantages
UASB reactors revolutionize wastewater treatment with their anaerobic process, offering energy savings up to 60% and biogas production. The core, a granular sludge bed, ensures high biomass retention, treating industrial waste efficiently. UASB technology minimizes sludge production by 90%, significantly cutting disposal costs and environmental impact…
Biogas Yield from Maize Silage vs Grass Silage Pros and Cons
Maize silage yields up to 0.38 m³/kg of methane, dominating biogas with 55% market share. Yet, it raises environmental concerns. Grass silage offers less yield but a higher methane quality. Co-digestion can optimize outputs, presenting a sustainable biogas future…
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…
South Korea Biogas Industry Growth & Opportunities
South Korea’s biogas market is projected to reach US$3.93 billion by 2030, propelled by government initiatives like the Green New Deal. As biogas becomes a cornerstone in energy independence, it invites investors and innovators to partake in transforming waste into power, fueling economic and environmental gains…
How To Reduce Methane Emissions – Perilous Man-Made Climate-Change Forcer
Many people worry about climate change today and how to reduce methane emissions. One big problem is methane, a gas that warms our planet. Methane comes from farms, rubbish dumps, and places where we get oil and gas. It’s important to cut down on this gas because it can make the earth much hotter. That’s […]
