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 Is Biogas Produced? A Simple Explanation
Biogas is produced when microorganisms break down biodegradable organic matter in the absence of oxygen, a process known as anaerobic digestion. Organic materials such as food waste, animal manure, sewage sludge and agricultural residues are placed in a sealed digester, where a community of microorganisms progressively converts part of the organic matter into a gas […]
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 […]
Disadvantages of Incineration vs Anaerobic Digestion
Hmmm! “Disadvantages of Incineration vs Anaerobic Digestion”; We guess that a lot of visitors will be thinking, “Why compare these two processes? Why talk about the disadvantages of incineration versus anaerobic digestion?” That is a good question, and it isn’t something we would have thought of, had the comparison not been made in a report published […]
Borger Rotary Lobe Pumps: A Workhorse for Tough Applications
Process design engineers are constantly on the lookout for dependable pumps that can handle challenging tasks. Borger rotary lobe pumps stand out as a robust and versatile option for a wide range of industrial applications. Let’s delve into what makes these pumps special and why they might be the perfect fit for your next project. […]
Food Waste Energy: Exploring The Conversion Of Food Waste Into Energy Through Anaerobic Digestion
Exploring The Conversion Of Food Waste Into Energy Through Anaerobic Digestion Every year, heaps of food waste fill our bins and ultimately, our landfills. Anaerobic digestion is a clever method that transforms this waste into energy. This blog will guide you through how converting leftover food can light up homes and fuel cars. Get ready to be inspired! What is Anaerobic Digestion and How […]
Thermophilic Anaerobic Digestion Explained For Optimized Biogas Production
Turning waste into energy is a big challenge. Yet, the process of thermophilic anaerobic digestion offers a powerful solution and is seldom used, with most AD plants being mesophilic (lower temperature) digesters. The high-temperature range method uses the high heat to break down organic matter without oxygen more rapidly, creating more biogas daily per unit volume of a digester tank. Biogas […]
