The Top 5 KPIs for Anaerobic Digestion Plants
Are you operating one or more anaerobic digestion plants? If so, fail the indicators (KPIs) in our list of the top 5 KPIs for anaerobic digestion plants and you will most likely lose money. Anaerobic digestion (AD) plants have been increasingly recognized as an effective solution to not only generate renewable energy but also to […]
How to Eliminate CO2 from Biogas? “Scrubbing” Explained
Here we explain how to Eliminate CO2 from Biogas, (or CO2 Scrubbing). Biogas can be upgraded to pipeline natural gas quality (biomethane) for use as a renewable natural gas, but as part of the upgrading process, it will be necessary to remove the carbon dioxide (CO2) from the biogas. This upgraded gas may also be […]
Renewable Natural Gas RNG HGVs: America’s Shift to Eco-Friendly Trucking
On This Page Clean Energy Provides Grant Application Support for 168 Near Zero RNG Trucks Clean Energy to Supply Dallas Fort Worth International Airport with Renewable Natural Gas; DFW Becomes First Airport Outside California to Use Redeem™ RNG Truck Drivers Like Helping the Environment with Near-Zero RNG Trucks Truck Drivers Like the Performance of Near-Zero […]
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 […]
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 […]
Biogas Power for Low CO2 Emissions & Carbon Negative Electricity
The use of biogas power for renewable low carbon dioxide emissions and, with carbon capture, the ability to provide carbon-negative electricity is unique and growing. In general, the cost of biogas power is slightly higher than the cost of generating electricity from wind or utility-scale solar PV but this is more than offset by the […]
Xergi Biogas Plants – 5 Advanced Plant Construction Themes
The Xergi Biogas company, Denmark’s market-leading supplier of AD technology (2017) has been building a successful biogas business in the UK, and around the world, for over 10 years (2022). They have multiple anaerobic digestion plants now either operational or in construction. New Xergi biogas plants are announced every few months. As you can see from […]
Bioeconomy – What Does It Mean?
The Bioeconomy? What does it mean? That’s a good question. Stay with us a moment and we’ll explain our definition. Plus, we tell you why a thriving bioeconomy is good for our planet and can reduce climate change. Our planet is getting more and more crowded. As a result, we need to use our resources more […]
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 […]
