Digestate Composition Contaminants and Uses
Composition, Contaminants, and Applications of Digestate Anaerobic digestion has emerged as a pivotal process in waste management and renewable energy production. One of its primary by-products, digestate, serves as a valuable fertilizer and soil conditioner. Understanding the composition, potential contaminants, and beneficial uses of digestate is essential for maximizing its advantages while mitigating any risks […]
What is Anaerobic Digestion?
So, what is Anaerobic Digestion? Anaerobic Digestion involves using the natural process wherein organic matter is broken down by germs, in the absence of oxygen, inside a sealed tank. For both processes, a digester tank is made use of: a gas-tight, sealed vessel with draw-off points, in which plant and animal material (biomass) is naturally […]
Two Stage Anaerobic Digestion
Anaerobic digestion (AD) has emerged as a pivotal technology in the renewable energy sector, particularly for the sustainable production of biogas. Among the various configurations of AD systems, the two-stage anaerobic digestion process stands out for its ability to enhance both process stability and biogas yield. This comprehensive guide delves into the intricacies of two-stage […]
What is Biogas?
Just what is biogas? Biogas is a renewable energy source generated through the anaerobic digestion of organic materials such as agricultural waste, manure, municipal sewage sludge, plant material, and food waste. This natural process breaks down organic matter in the absence of oxygen, producing a gaseous mixture primarily composed of methane (CH₄) and carbon dioxide […]
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”. […]
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 […]
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 […]
What Is Digestate: Understanding The Definition And Uses Of Digestate
Are you puzzled by the term “digestate” and what it entails? If you’re dealing with waste management or agriculture, understanding digestate can be crucial. Many environmental researchers and professionals grapple with the challenges of managing organic waste effectively. 1 And we get it—differentiating between compost, digestate, and other soil conditioners can be confusing. Here’s one […]
The Anaerobic Digestion Process
The Anaerobic Digestion Process has been around since ancient times and probably evolved while our planet’s early atmosphere lacked oxygen. It is also what makes the digestive systems of many animals work, so many creatures owe their lives to this amazing process! This website focuses on the Anaerobic Digestion of waste materials, and to split […]
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 […]
