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. Read on to find out the differences of biogas versus landfill gas, and you will appreciate that people tend to call landfill gas “biogas”. […]
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 […]
Anaerobic Digestion of Manure
Anaerobic Digestion of Manure: A Comprehensive Guide to Sustainable Energy Production Anaerobic digestion is a biological process that transforms organic materials, such as livestock manure, into renewable energy. This article explores the significance of manure management in agriculture and the role of anaerobic digestion in promoting sustainable farming. The anaerobic digestion of manure is the most common type of on farm anaerobic […]
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 […]
How Biogas is Produced
We found that many people online would like to know, “How is Biogas Produced”. That’s not a bad question, after all, it does seem slightly incredible that something like your old food waste could produce a gas that is used to generate electricity! That’s why we wrote this article. We hope we answered your question […]
Anaerobic Digestion Wastewater Treatment
The Process of Anaerobic Wastewater Treatment or “How it Works”. Dealing with wastewater can be tough. We all want clean rivers and lakes, but often the process of getting there is complex. One effective method is anaerobic digestion wastewater treatment and before we start I will admit that it’s also complex. Wastewater treatment applications use […]
Anaerobic Digestion Process: Stages, Systems and Controls
The anaerobic digestion process is a controlled sequence of microbial reactions that converts biodegradable material into raw biogas and digestate without oxygen. In a working plant, success depends on much more than putting organic waste into a sealed tank. Feedstock preparation, loading rate, temperature, pH, mixing, retention time, gas handling and digestate management must all […]
ADBA Welcomes Labour to Office and Shares Roadmap for Biogas Sector Support
05 July 2024 Press Release: The Green Gas Association and ADBA – Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association – congratulate the Labour Party on their General Election victory and welcome the new Government’s emphasis on tackling climate change through the rapid growth of renewables. ADBA will press the new Energy and Climate Change Secretary to implement its ten-point programme for […]
Slurry Value: The Natural Fertiliser Resource for Sustainable Farming
Hey! Slurry value? The very association of the two words “slurry” and “value” will, we are sure, raise many eyebrows in disbelief! So, is this some sort of a deep fake article? We assure you it is not! Slurry, a semi-liquid manure produced by livestock, holds significant value for farms as a natural fertilizer. Understanding […]
Enhancing Bioplastic Degradation Through Anaerobic Digestion
Anaerobic digestion of bioplastics, enhancing their degradation through anaerobic digestion is becoming a more important topic almost daily as EU nations move to bioplastic (biologically sourced plastic) and away from fossil fuel (oil) based plastics. Every day, we see more plastic waste piling up in our environment. It’s a big issue that affects our planet. […]
Anaerobic Digestion and Biogas Off-Grid for Remote Communities
Biogas off-grid is an ideal energy for remote communities and homes far from the nearest power lines. Living off-grid can be rewarding, but it also comes with its own set of challenges. Many remote communities struggle with unreliable energy sources and high costs of fuel. 1 Without easy access to electricity or clean cooking gas, daily life becomes harder. 2 Biogas […]
