Anaerobic Digestion Tanks

Anaerobic digestion tanks (often known as biogas tanks, or digester tanks) are large, usually circular in plan, and very distinctively topped with their flexible gas storage plastic membrane covers, that are often cone shaped and supported at the centre with a single pole. These innovative vessels not only treat waste but also generate biogas—a valuable […]

Mesophilic Anaerobic Digestion and the Thermophilic Temperature Range

If you said that mesophilic anaerobic digestion is “cool”, you’d be right compared with the other common temperature range used for AD plants, but probably in more ways than one! The term mesophilic when referring to a biodigestor has been adopted by biogas plant designers to distinguish between the two best temperature ranges for operating […]

The Anaerobic Digestion Process

The Anaerobic Digestion Process has been around since ancient times and probably evolved while our planet’s early atmosphere lacked oxygen. It is also what makes the digestive systems of many animals work, so many creatures owe their lives to this amazing process! This website focuses on the Anaerobic Digestion of waste materials, and to split […]
