Anaerobic Digestion Systems – A Basic Process Flow Chart
Every AD Plant designer provides a unique plant process design, however, the flow chart below is common to most AD plant designs. Most designs include a Combined Heat & Power (CHP) element, and the most common use of that is in space heating for homes and factories.

Does anyone know if the answer to this? Another way to look at these systems is to calculate how much removing the energy costs would reduce the price per litre of producing milk.
Will it result in a bigger profit at the end of the year if the money were invested in more cows? Will it keep the business competitive with fluctuating milk prices?
what I would like to know is what challenges type of challenges may occur when trying to establish or start a AD PLANT?.Also how long can this process take in terms of constructing a fully functional AD Plant?.
Where would this plant be built? What size, and what is the likely biomass feed for it?
