Anaerobic Digestion Process Steps: The 4 Stages Explained
Anaerobic digestion takes place through four closely connected biological process steps: hydrolysis, acidogenesis, acetogenesis and methanogenesis. Together, these microbial stages convert complex organic material into biogas—principally methane and carbon dioxide—and digestate. New to the subject? Start with our complete introduction to anaerobic digestion. This article concentrates specifically on the biochemical process steps, the compounds produced at each stage […]
10 Facts About Anaerobic Digestion: Unlocking the Power of Waste
Read on for our list of 10 true facts about anaerobic digestion and transforming trash into treasure. We “air” a topic about a process that surprisingly doesn’t need air (oxygen); in fact, the truly anaerobic microorganisms that do the work die if exposed to air! and would be just as happy on the moon. Imagine […]
Green Biogas – UK Green Investment Bank Backing Is Proof
We have said many times that the anaerobic digestion process makes green biogas profitable with a good ROI, but where is the proof of that? Back in December 2012 when we first posted this article, we based our case on a “Utility Week” article here which announced that Anaerobic digestion and energy efficiency had won the […]
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 […]
