The equipment used in anaerobic digestion and biogas plants, including its design, installation, maintenance and operation. This includes innovative new developments in biogas equipment, pumps and gas engines. Dosing equipment and biomethane upgrading technologies are also included in this category.
Biogas Engines and Generators: How They Turn Biogas into Electricity
We have defined what we mean by a biogas engine and how such engines are used as a biogas generator, including discussing what cogeneration means in terms of secondary heat ultilisation and CHP
Biogas Heating Systems: Boilers, Direct Heat and When They Beat CHP
A biogas heating system can be one of the simplest and most efficient ways to use the gas produced by an anaerobic digestion plant. Instead of converting the biogas into electricity first, the gas is burned in a suitable boiler or process heater and its energy is used directly as heat. That option is sometimes […]
Biogas CHP Systems: Benefits, Efficiency, Costs and Design
Biogas CHP systems transform waste into power, achieving efficiencies over 80%. Ideal for on-site energy, they lower bills and carbon emissions. Agricultural producers, wastewater plants, and landfill operators benefit, despite the high upfront capital costs, by turning waste into reliable energy sources for sustainable operations…
Biogas Utilisation: CHP, Biomethane, Heat and the Best Uses for Biogas
Biogas utilization thrives on combining heat and power units for maximum efficiency. With energy efficiencies reaching up to 90%, CHP systems are a game-changer in waste management and renewable energy production, offering energy independence and diverse revenue streams for agricultural and municipal operations alike…
Biogas CHP Design: 7 Factors for Selecting and Sizing a CHP System
Biogas CHP design involves much more than selecting a gas engine with an electrical output that appears to match the expected biogas production from an anaerobic digestion plant. A successful combined heat and power (CHP) installation must match the quantity and quality of the available biogas, the site’s electrical demand, the genuinely useful heat demand, […]
Best Biogas Systems Reviews & Tips

Discover incentives and the truth behind biogas system claims to make an informed choice for energy self-sufficiency and environmental impact…
The Importance of Secure Liquid Fuel Storage in a Low Emissions Future
As global energy systems transition toward lower emissions and cleaner technologies, conversations often focus on renewables such as wind, solar, and bioenergy. While these developments are vital, traditional liquid fuels still play a role in heating, backup generation, agriculture, and industrial operations. In this transitional period, the way liquid fuels are stored and managed has […]
More Borger Separators: Biogas Operators Orders Update
A Borger Separator (strictly a Börger Separator in the German language) is a type of screw press separator, specifically the Börger Bioselect, which is used for the mechanical solid/liquid separation of materials like manure and digestate in agricultural and biogas applications. This machine is in high demand for the separation process it provides, producing a […]
The Hidden Costs of Neglecting Airflow Systems in Biogas Plant Workplaces
Neglecting airflow systems in biogas plant workplaces incurs hidden costs that far exceed the superficial savings of deferred maintenance. Beyond the obvious discomfort of noxious odours, inadequate ventilation may even allow for the silent accumulation of corrosive and toxic gases like hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia. This chemical buildup can also accelerate the degradation of […]
DIY Tips for Maintaining Your Heat Exchanger in Anaerobic Systems
Maximise the efficiency and lifespan of your anaerobic system heat exchangers with DIY maintenance. Discover how regular cleaning can save you thousands and prevent costly biogas interruptions. Understand the importance of preventative schedules and effective techniques that ensure optimal energy performance in your system…
Anaerobic Digestion Pumps – 6 Ownership & Maintenance Tips
Anaerobic digestion pumps are an essential piece of equipment used in anaerobic digestion systems. These pumps help to move the waste materials and other liquids through the system and ensure that the anaerobic digestion process runs smoothly. Proper maintenance and ownership of anaerobic digestion pumps are crucial for ensuring that the system works correctly and […]
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 […]
