Food Waste Anaerobic Digestion – The Main Benefits
Food waste anaerobic digestion is often said to be an established “good thing”. This is supported by government policy, but almost no-one seemed to be explaining why! That’s why we made our short video titled: “5 Top Benefits of Anaerobic Digestion of Food Waste”, and we have gone further into more detail in this article. […]
Benefits of Anaerobic Digestion
The Benefits of Anaerobic Digestion are wide and the creation of renewable energy, such as biogas (largely methane), is just one of them. Below, we provide a detailed list of the benefits of anaerobic digestion. We think that this is the most comprehensive document available on this subject. Before focusing on the details, we begin […]
The Classification of Pumps: Centrifugal and Positive Displacement Pumps
An alternative title to the classification of pumps would be the “types of water pumps and their working principles”. Pumps are divided into 2 major categories: Dynamic and Positive Displacement (actually you might as well just call them Displacement) pumps. Centrifugal pumps are the most common pump type used globally, that’s because of their simple […]
What is the Difference Between Biogas and Landfill Gas?
We saw that a question being asked on the forums is, “what is the difference between biogas and landfill gas?”, so we thought that we would write this article to explain. Definitions of Biogas and Landfill Gas Biogas is the raw unfiltered and un-purified methane gas from the anaerobic digestion process. It is the gas […]

Food Waste Disposals Lower Than Thought
Wikipedia Referenced Article in “Food Waste in the United Kingdom”.ﾠArticle Originally Published 10 February 2009.ﾠ The amount of food waste being disposed of is lower than originally thought, according to the Waste and Resource Action Programme (WRAP). The organisation’s Chris Mills explained that less food waste is being generated than was expected, in a report […]
Digestate Quality Contaminants and Uses
In order to extract the maximum recovery value from the organic waste input, the digestate from anaerobic digestion should be used for a useful purpose and positive benefit should be derived from its production. Digestate from anaerobic digestion should be used for a useful purpose and positive benefit should be derived from its production. Digestate […]
Digestate from Anaerobic Digestion
In this section we feature articles on the liquid and solid phase output from the AD process and the prospects for the AD Plant operator to make a profit, or not, from this material Contents We have a growing number of articles about digestate, as below. Click on the text below to view each article: […]
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 you would realize! The term mesophilic when referring to a biodigestor has been adopted by biogas plant designers to distinguish the two best temperature ranges for […]
Anaerobic Digestion of Manure
The anaerobic digestion of manure is the most common type of on farm anaerobic digestion, although there are an increasing number of on farm AD plants which also either grow and digest their own bio-energy crops, or import food waste, and other similar feed materials. The most basic manure digestion plants are low profile low cost and […]
