Wastewater Treatment Sludge Mixing Improvements Raise Plant Efficiency
Wastewater Treatment Sludge Mixing Case Study: Landia the leading producer of specialist water treatment pumps, mixers, aeration systems and advanced processes, has drastically lowered sludge disposal costs and is saving valuable landfill space at a large WwTW in the US. In the words of the Superintendent of the Sewer Authority: “The Landia mixers have been […]
How to Cut Carbon Emissions? Assisting Biomethane Could Cut 1/3 Off Hardest
Wondering how to cut carbon emissions? New report says that assisting UK biomethane production could cut 1/3 off the carbon emission from the hardest to decarbonise sectors. Hopefully the UK, and other governments, are currently thinking hard on how to cut it! The new report says that assisting biomethane production could cut just under 1/3 […]
Define Anaerobic Digestion: 10 Top Definitions of AD – Listed
“Define Anaerobic Digestion”, said a student to me recently. No doubt because I discovered anaerobic digestion back in the 1990s via my background of environmental biochemistry originally, I quoted the original Wikipedia definition. That one is all about breaking down organic material without oxygen present (ref: 1) and is all about the chemistry involved. I thought […]
Landia Chopper Pump Chops Knives – Robust Pump Survives Knife Attack!
A Landia Chopper Pump when serviced recently was found to have been chopping on knives apparently left in waste-food. Chopper pumps are so named because a rotating “blade” and 3 fixed “knives” (scroll down to see illustration) at the pump casing entry point. These are positioned to chop through fibrous material (even cutting through rope […]
Anaerobic Digestion vs Landfill – Which is the Best?
Assessing the advantages of anaerobic digestion vs landfill as a means of disposing organic waste is an important step. Businesses need to know for sure that if they move from landfill to anaerobic digestion as the means of disposal of their waste there are not known issues which may prove a risk to the reputation of their […]
First WwTW Biogas Upgrading Plant Completed by Clarke Energy France
The City of Perpignan is the first in France to benefit from a Clarke Energy Biogas Upgrading Plant at their WwTW (Sewage Works or “STEP”). The plant will allow the city to make the most sustainable use of the biogas produced, through natural gas grid-injection of the renewable gas. The gas called biomethane is equivalent […]
What is Pyrolysis? And, Its Pros and Cons Versus Biogas for Energy
We answer the question “What is Pyrolysis” first with a definition and then consider the pros and cons of pyrolysis technology, versus anaerobic digestion and biogas production for energy from biomass. What is Pyrolysis? A Definition of this Process – Used to Extract Energy from Waste The non-technical answer is that pyrolysis is known to […]
Why Biomethane Output Will Rise Despite Government Biogas Plant Subsidy Degradation
We still believe that Biomethane Output will rise in the UK and Europe, despite UK Government Biogas Plant Subsidy removal and degradation. Our original graphic (shown on the left here) which was made to accompany this article now looks over-optimistic for the time. Nevertheless, there are so many reasons why this renewable fuel will be […]
6 Ways to Get Anaerobic Digestion Finance for Your Biogas Project
There are at least 6 ways to gain Anaerobic Digestion finance, for your biogas plant project, as described below. If you want to learn the basics of how to get AD Plant finance, this is the video to watch and the article to read. Financing for these projects is of course similar to other renewable […]

Advantages of Anaerobic Digestion
The advantages of anaerobic digestion are many and varied. We pick out those that have the biggest impact, and are most often quoted. Anaerobic digestion technology produces benefits that are both environmentally and financially sustainable. By reducing fossil fuels the technology reduces the need for fossil fuels, and in this way is inherently a climate […]
