Biogas Future Prospects – Rapid Growth and Insatiable Demand
Biogas’ future prospects have never looked better. As they enter a period of rapid growth propelled by world events, there is an Insatiable demand for biogas. That is the “perfect storm” in prospect for anaerobic digestion technology because there is also an ever-increasing demand for reducing GHG emissions and RNG (biomethane) for transport use. So, […]
High Rate Anaerobic Digestion Plant Treats Wastewater Effluent Streams
By definition, a High Rate Anaerobic Digestion Plant can effectively handle high-strength wastewater effluent streams, such as sewage sludge. To be high rate it needs to be able to provide the necessary reactions at a higher rate than traditional biogas process plant which need a 30 day retention period or longer. Back in 2017, we […]
Biogas in South Korea
The prospect for Biogas in South Korea is looking up! Since President Moon Jae-in took office, the prospects for anaerobic digestion in South Korea have increased. The government has been making strenuous efforts to attain autonomy in the electricity and heat sectors, as well as to considerably expand the percentage of renewable energies. Increasing the […]
Anaerobic Digestion in Wastewater Treatment – UASBs EGSBs and Staging
The Role of Anaerobic Digestion in Wastewater Management Typically, anaerobic digestion (AD) has been used for municipal wastewater sludge treatment, and in the industrial wastewater sector for COD/ BOD reduction as in the Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Bed (UASB). Only very rarely has it been used to treat industrial effluent the vast majority of which continues […]
Landia GasMix Biogas Reactor Mixing System – Awards Update
Here is an update to the Press Release we published about the Landia GasMix Biogas Reactor Mixing System award back in 2016. We are pleased to inform you that Landia received two “Highly Commended” Honours on its first attempt at the prestigious UK AD & Biogas Industry Awards of that year. Landia the creators of […]
Renewable Natural Gas Transport – Use of Biogas for Vehicle Fuel
There are many benefits in the use of renewable natural gas transport using biomethane from the anaerobic digestion process. Rather than deliberately extracting natural gas trapped in the ground, this green gas makes use of resources already present in our surroundings. RNG may be produced from current resources using advanced gas clean-up technology, resulting in […]
First IoW Biogas Plant – Update and Now There Will be Two!
The first Isle of Wight Biogas Plant was in the news in 2015 when Wight Farm Energy and Schmack Biogas combined their international expertise with local knowledge to build and commission the first IoW biogas plant. Now there will be a second Anaerobic Digestion Facility on the UK holiday and sailing Island. Here is our […]
Anaerobic Digestion of Dairy Manure in the US
The anaerobic digestion of dairy manure in the US is on a rising growth curve. Increased demand to lessen the environmental impact of fossil fuels has sparked significant interest in renewable fuels like biogas. Indeed, several US policy recommendations and rules in the areas of energy, the environment, and agriculture have been developed in the […]
Solving Food Waste Anaerobic Digestion Plant Pipe Blockage Problems
In this article, we explain a highly effective way to solve food waste digestion plant pipe blockage problems, by using specialist pumps that are highly efficient in pumping difficult to pump fluids. Pipe Blockages – An Increasing Problem for Food Waste Biogas Plants The topic of how to prevent food waste anaerobic digestion plant pipe […]
Recent News and Developments in Biogas Engines for Shipping
The most recent and welcome development in 2021 for biogas engines is that the first application in shipping for renewable biogas energy is underway. Biogas will be used to power a green shipping fleet. The shipping company Hurtigruten will use the biogas as fuel for their fleet of ships. First Biogas Engines to Power Shipping […]
