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 […]
Xergi Biogas Plants Completed for Bernard Matthews and Others
Xergi Biogas Plants: By the Xergi Biogas company, Denmark’s market leading supplier of AD technology has been building a successful biogas business in the UK, and around the world, for over 6 years, with multiple plants now either operational, or in construction. Nowadays, new Xergi biogas plants are announced every few months. As you can see […]
High Rate Anaerobic Digestion Plant Treats Wastewater Effluent Streams
A High Rate Anaerobic Digestion Plant can treat high strength Wastewater Effluent Streams including sewage sludge, very efficiently. This is an important finding due to the fact that biodegradable wastewaters contribute about 6% of all anthropogenic methane emissions. High-rate anaerobic digesters have the potential to treat such wastewaters while also creating renewable energy. This energy […]
UK Brexit to Hit UK On-Farm Anaerobic Digestion While US AD Grows
The UK Brexit from the EU is about to hit UK on-farm anaerobic digestion. What has been a growing success story for the UK is being predicted to quickly become a victim of the UK government’s plans for the exit of the nation from the European Union. Other sectors, such as the anaerobic digestion of […]
UK Biogas Energy Targets and a New (Vegetable Producer’s) AD Plant Case Study
I was reading the Weltec Biopower Press Release, which follows below, and I also read the background note provided by their publicist. It explains how there are now lots of projects like the Anaerobic Digestion Plant described below, being built by Weltec BioPower and others, that are crucial to the UK’s plans to achieve UK biogas energy targets. To […]
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, […]
