5 Types of Biogas Plants – The Secret to Selecting the Best AD Plant Design
There are many types of biogas plants. The first step to selecting the best one for your project is to understand what types are available. Read this article and watch our video. This is essential training for those seeking to find the best AD Plant Design for their needs. Types of Biogas Plants Most Popular […]
‘Net Zero’ Emissions Nation by 2050 Is UK’s GHG Reduction World-Beating Pledge
The UK will be a ‘Net Zero’ Emissions Nation by 2050 is the world-Bbeating pledge made by the UK government in June 2019. This means that the UK is readied to become the very first significant economy to commit to reaching “Net Zero” Carbon Emissions by 2050. The statement made by the government last week […]
Stop Plastic Pollution on Land – A Plea for Tighter PAS 110 Rules
Here we lend our support to a move for tighter PAS 110 Rules to stop plastic pollution on land, as we believe that the UK’s specification for natural biogas fertiliser needs urgently updating to incorporate controls on the permissible amount of plastic. The ocean plastic pollution problem can only be solved if society puts a […]
Septic Tanks: Are they Anaerobic Digesters?
We have been asked the question of whether Septic Tanks are Anaerobic Digesters several times recently. The short answer is yes. They utilize the anaerobic digestion process for the treatment (albeit only partial at a slow rate, and not to watercourse discharge standards) of sewage. They are used from isolated locations where inhabited dwellings are […]
What is a Biogas Power Plant?
A Biogas Power Plant is essentially another name which has been coined recently for an anaerobic digestion plant. These are, also known as biogas digesters. As any technology becomes more successful and reaches a wider audience, so does it generate new names and the anaerobic digestion technology sector is no exception. To cover the entire […]
Biogas Production in China – Agricultural, Domestic and at Community Scale
Biogas production in China from agricultural organic waste is extensively utilised already and has potential to be developed further, to provide additional energy, and this is also highly sustainable energy for the nation. Most speak of Chinese biogas for the Agricultural, Domestic and Community uses. This article is limited to those applications. Introduction Even as […]
How Ultrasonic Disintegration of Sewage Sludge Improves Wastewater Treatment Plant Biogas Outputs
Sewage sludge is notoriously slow to digest. Ultrasonic disintegration provides an environmentally responsible way to improve biogas output. Unsurprisingly wastewater treatment works biogas plant operators have been first to adopt ultrasonic disintegration. As the technology becomes further developed there is no reason why the AD industry won’t also adopt it’s use for other similarly slow […]
Biogas Upgraders – The Best 3 Biogas to Biomethane Technologies
Biogas upgraders are facilities that are used to concentrate the methane in biogas to natural gas standards. The upgrading systems remove carbon dioxide (CO₂), hydrogen sulphide (sulfide), water and other trace concentration contaminants from the biogas. Upgraded biogas is called “biomethane.” What are the three top performing biogas upgrading technologies? There are in fact 8 […]
Dairy Farmer Didn’t Believe New Slurry Equipment for Sale by Landia
A Dairy Farmer didn’t believe the performance of a “just fitted” item of Slurry Equipment for Sale. This is a story of success, and it comes to you from pump and mixer equipment manufacturer Landia. Yes! It does happen now and again, that things go so well that its hard believe what’s happening… It gave […]
UK Fracking Policy – National Planning Policy Illegal for Ignoring Climate Impacts – News Roundup
UK Fracking Policy has been ruled to be illegal for ignoring Climate Impacts. There is illegality in current UK fracking policy, according to a Planning Regulations judge. The decision, handed down on Thursday, means the government will have to revisit its national policy on shale gas extraction. It will be forced to take into account the latest […]
Advantage of Anaerobic Digestion for Land Carbon Storage (Committee on Climate Change)
For those who are interested in the development of biogas technology, a new advantage of anaerobic digestion for Land Carbon Storage is beginning to emerge from recent work on the policy changes needed by the UK government to reduce global warming, by the UK’s Committee on Climate Change (CCC). To some, this might seem to […]
Silage Clamps – Planning and Building a New Silage Clamp
Silage clamps are so often hidden away and neglected, and yet they are vital part of every agricultural biogas plant. The storage of forage stocks (silage) is vital for those times in every year when AD feedstocks are in short supply from other sources. Undoubtedly, the average farm business should pay them more attention, especially since […]
