In this article, we conduct a detailed comparison between BIO-MIX technology using WANGEN PUMPEN Progressive Cavity Pumps with the other systems currently offered. Introduction The […]
Rice Straw Biogas – How to Make Clean Fuel from Rice Crop Residues and Decarbonise
Biogas from rice straw (rice straw biogas production) is a proven technology that is still almost completely untapped. Around 300 million tonnes of waste rice straw is burnt in fields across Asia every year. Rice accounts for 48% of all greenhouse gas emissions from crops globally or 1,000 MT of CO2e/yr. Straw burning is producing […]
US Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) Program Biogas Industry Support Welcomed
Strong US Government support for Anaerobic Digestion and Biogas Technologies has now been confirmed within the “Renewable Fuel Standard Program”. According to the US EPA’s Renewable Fuel Standard Program (RFS), anaerobic digestion and biogas technologies provide a type of advanced biofuel that is produced from organic waste. These technologies have the ability to produce energy, […]
How Biogas is Produced from Waste: Making Clean Renewable Energy from Muck
We are hoping that you are looking for information on how biogas is produced from waste. We will explain that in just a moment. But, first, we ask you to pause for thought, because the whole idea of energy from a fuel good enough to replace natural gas, must at first sound like nonsense! Yes? […]
Anaerobic Digestion in South Africa – Biogas an Untapped Renewable Resource
The adoption of Anaerobic Digestion in South Africa is at an early stage in what will be a large and productive local industry if developed to even a small proportion of its full potential. For anyone familiar with the country it must be undeniable that they have large untapped renewable resources in all forms of […]
Salmon Waste Management: The Borger MultiCrusher™ Salmon Crusher
The efficiency of salmon waste management is now improved by the installation of a Borger waste salmon “Multicrusher”. Situated in the midst of the Scottish Islands salmon fishery industry the efficiency and reliability of Borger’s equipment is vital to guarantee the correct shredding of waste salmon to meet environmental and food health security regulations. By […]
Food Waste in Wales: Top World Recycler Accolade for the Welsh
The story of food waste in Wales in recent years has become an inspiration to many in the waste industry in general and the biogas industry in particular. It is so good that the nation that has been described as “hating waste”, has become a world leader for its high rate of organic recycling, ranking […]

In this blog post, we will delve into the latest news and developments surrounding anaerobic digestion […]
Borger Powerfeed Digester Feeding is Revolutionizing Rural Energy at a Sychtyn Farm
In this article, we explain how the Borger Powerfeed Biogas Feeding System powers the biogas digesters which are revolutionizing rural energy production. This is followed here by a Press Release which provides a case study of it powering up a farm in Sychtyn, North Wales. Introducing the Borger Powerfeed The Borger Powerfeed is a biogas […]
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 […]
What is Biogas? Beginner’s Anaerobic Digesters Large & Small
We answer the question: “What is Biogas?” Biogas is generated during anaerobic digestion (AD) when microorganisms break down (by eating it) organic materials in the absence of air (or oxygen). Biogas is mostly methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), with very small amounts of water vapor and other gases. The carbon dioxide and other gases […]
Pilot-plant Biogas Reactor – How to Do a Pilot Trial Step by Step
How to build and run a small lab scale Pilot-plant Biogas Reactor to carry out the anaerobic digestion of plant biomass (waste organic materials you have available to you for free or at minimal cost) with an A.D. pilot plant experiment, sometimes called a Lab Trial. This is an experimental pilot plant laboratory method to […]
Oil Shale Gas Advantages and Disadvantages vs Biogas
We did find one advantage of shale gas when considering oil shale gas advantages and disadvantages vs biogas! So, welcome to the great debate between oil shale gas, and biogas. As someone who has studied many difficult comparisons, I understand that every scenario has advantages and disadvantages. It’s no different when it comes to fossil […]
UK Anaerobic Digestion Plants Exceed 100 And Hit Trouble: Looking Back
In this article, we will look back at our March 2013 article when UK Anaerobic Digestion Plants exceeded 100 and were receiving damaging media attention due to novice operators causing some high-profile environmental problems. So, we reported that they were “hitting trouble”. The fact is that now (in 2023), with the benefit of hindsight, we […]
4 Anaerobic Digestion Regulations – UK Environmental Protection, Animal By-products, Duty of Care, Health and Safety
Anaerobic Digestion Regulations surprisingly, don’t exist in the UK. At least not all neatly bundled into a single government act or rule book. Instead, AD Plant operators must comply with a range of statutory requirements (“Laws” to you and me). The four main UK Anaerobic Digestion Regulations which must be tackled to ensure compliance once […]
