Food Waste in America – The Wasteful Facts of Unused US Meals
The food waste in America is huge. The facts show that this is both a major problem for the environment and at the same time reducing it could be a great asset. In the USA, the population wastes so much food that correspondingly large quantities of renewable sustainable, 24/7 energy could be created from the […]
How to use Biogas Scrubbers to Purify Biogas
How do you purify biogas? It’s a question central to all but the most simple use of biogas at low pressure from a home digester when it is piped direct to a kitchen stove, although even then bubbling the gas through water is often applied. According to the literature, biogas processing entails the most effective […]
Top Tips for Starting an Anaerobic Digestion Plant
Are you thinking about starting your own anaerobic digestion plant? Anaerobic digestion is becoming increasingly popular as a sustainable energy source, which is good timing with the rising energy costs leading many to turn to renewable energy as a way to save money. Of course, there are also environmental benefits to using renewable energy, which […]
Food Waste Separators with Less Destructive Depackaging & Pulping Pre-treat SSOHW Better
Prior to anaerobic digestion, new food waste separators with advanced depackaging and pulping technology, when used to pre-treat Source-Separated Organic Household Waste (SSOHW), improve the purity of the organic pulp. Reject output streams were also purer than for earlier systems based on milling and shredding. That’s according to research by the Department of Environmental Engineering, […]
Pig Farm Anaerobic Digestion – Realities of Operating Swine and Hog Digesters
Pig farm anaerobic digestion and including in this swine, and hog farms have just as much potential as Dairy Farms for anaerobic digestion to make biogas as an additional source of income. At the same time, their biogas plants can provide for a much more environmentally beneficial means of disposing of the farm waste, and […]
Small-scale Digestate Separator for Dairy Farms with up to 150 Cows
A small-scale digestate separator has been added to the popular Börger Bioselect™ range of digestate separator units. This adds to their range which has become a top choice for operators seeking solid/ liquid digestate separation. Virtually all AD plant operators would be assisted by this technology at the outlets from their biogas reactors. Press Release […]
Anaerobic Digester Mixer by Landia Helping Yorkshire Water to Net-Zero Carbon by 2030
Two anaerobic digester mixer systems recently supplied by Landia are helping Yorkshire Water to progress with carbon emissions savings toward their target of Net-Zero carbon emission across the company by 2030. High levels of biogas yield are also being achieved which indicate that these digesters are being well-mixed. Read more about the use of this […]
Sewage Sludge Digestion – Ofwat UK Rule Changes Allow Outsourced Treatment
Five years ago, in this article, we announced that sewage sludge digestion would be put out to tender as an outsourced service by many, or all UK water companies. The opinion we gave was that there would be big opportunities from Ofwat for companies to take sewage sludge and co-digest it. We looked forward to […]
Biogas Buses – What are they? and How are they Environmentally Friendly?
Biogas buses are catching on. What could be better than using biogas from the anaerobic digestion process to power transport fleets? The energy source is renewable, made from waste by-products, and the methane used in this fuel is clean-burning. Using it instead of using a fossil fuel like diesel removes the concerns for air pollution […]
