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 […]
Landia’s GasMix System Installed at Cory’s First Anaerobic Digestion Plant
Landia’s acclaimed GasMix System is at the heart of the biogas making process using anaerobic-digestion, at Cory Environmental. Cory, with over 40 sites are one of the UK’s leading recycling, waste management and energy recovery companies. In March 2014, Cory unveiled its first anaerobic digestion facility. it produces renewable energy to power local homes. Cory’s […]

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 […]
UK Biogas – UK AD Industry 21st Century History and End of Stagnation
“UK Biogas” or the UK anaerobic digestion and biogas production industry to give it its full title has been developed over the years since 2000. In this article, we cover the UK Industry’s history and recent developments. Increasing demand for renewable energy resources, rising energy costs, and stringent government regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions […]
Bio Thermic Digester (BTD) Gains Acceptance And May Become Major Competitor To Anaerobic Digestion
Bio Thermic Digester (BTD) is the term for an innovative type of industrial-scale biological high temperature-digester which uses Aerobic Extremophilic Bacteria to achieve a remarkably high level of mass reduction and has been launched by waste treatment specialist Advetec. The technology is understood to be capable of rapidly processing significantly high volumes of organic municipal waste, […]
Coronavirus Impacts on Food Waste Arriving at Biogas Plants – Panic Buying
The coronavirus is undoubtedly impacting on the volume and characteristics of food waste arriving at Biogas Plants, and one source will be the result of panic buying. However, the scale of the increase in food waste is hard to judge. We were interested to read a recent Landia Press Release on waste food (possibly of […]
Food Waste AD – The Anaerobic Digestion of Inedible Food for Energy and Natural Fertiliser
Food Waste AD is the short way to refer to the anaerobic digestion of inedible food for renewable energy and natural fertiliser. That sentence encapsulates the core philosophy of the movement towards food waste AD. “It’s a crying same that any food is wasted while so many people struggle to feed themselves. Mechanically digesting this […]
Food Waste Recycling Machine Raises Purity of Pretreated Biogas Substrate to New Level
Gemidan Ecogi’s anaerobic digestion substrate pre-treatment system is effectively a food waste recycling machine for large commercial biogas plants which produces a high-quality pulp-based substrate for digestion/ energy production in AD/ biogas plants. The Gemidan ECOGI system (food waste recycling machine) has a reputation for enhancing the recovery of renewable energy during the anaerobic digestion […]
What is Renewable Energy and How Does It Work
There is a simple answer to; “What is renewable energy?” It is energy which is self replenishing. Many people would say that it is also sustainable energy, which implies that in accordance with many definitions of sustainability it should be self replenishing within a generation, so that the present generation does not rob energy resources […]
