The Role of Bulk Buying in Reducing Food and Packaging Waste
How to Cut Down on Food and Packaging Waste by Buying in Bulk Food waste and excessive packaging contribute to environmental harm and economic inefficiencies. Bulk buying has emerged as a powerful strategy as consumers and businesses look for ways to minimize their impact. Individuals and organizations can reduce waste, save money, and make more […]
Centrifugal Pumps Vs Positive Displacement Pumps: A Comparison Of 2 Pump Types
Understand when to use Centrifugal Pumps Vs Positive Displacement Pumps and you have the makings of a useful engineering skill Choosing the right pump can feel like solving a tricky puzzle, especially when designing anaerobic digestion and biogas plants. That’s because feeding a digester with organic pulp requires pumping a viscous liquid, and similarly for […]
Dry Anaerobic Digestion: Renewable Energy Extraction from Residual Municipal Waste
Dry anaerobic digestion is a new way to manage waste with the benefit of renewable energy extraction from residual municipal waste and other wastes with a high organic content. It uses tiny organisms in the digestate that is recirculated as an inoculum into fresh waste batches to turn waste into biogas, a clean energy source. […]
How to Store Biogas at Home: Safety Methods & Products
Storing biogas at home offers an eco-friendly energy solution, but it requires careful handling and robust, gas-tight storage. Ensure safety with low-pressure systems, regular maintenance, and leak testing. DIY options can be practical and cost-effective if done correctly, making biogas storage a viable sustainable choice…
Boost Sustainability with Farm Digesters – Energy, Materials Circularity and Efficient Waste Management
Farm Digesters in 2024: A Guide to Better Agricultural Sustainability and Waste Management Did you know that farm digesters can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 85% compared to traditional manure management? In an era where sustainable agriculture isn’t just an option but a necessity, farm digesters are emerging as a game-changing solution for […]
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 […]
