Co-disposal of Food Waste and Sewage Sludge ADBA Show to Host Debate
The idea of co-digestion of food waste and sewage sludge, is new to the UK but the obvious good-sense of it is gaining traction, and the ADBA Biogas/ Bioresources Trade Show this July will host an important debate on the subject. When the UK water industry was privatised in the 1980s, nobody conceived that sewage sludge […]
Anaerobic Digestion in Ireland Can Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 68%
Anaerobic Digestion in Ireland can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 68%, say the top Irish bio-energy and composting trade bodies. This is a huge saving and surely one which any nation would want to implement? The remarkable claim is found in 3 reports produced in 2016 by sector experts NovaEnergo Company. If you watch our video […]
Waste Management Hierarchy – The Driver for Sustainable Biogas Development
All those involved need to grasp the concepts behind the Waste Management Hierarchy, because it is the essential concept which will always drive sustainable biogas development and the whole so-called circular economy. In the forefront of anyone’s mind when developing a sustainable waste management strategy for a business or a project, should be the inverted pyramid […]
Dry AD – What Happens Inside a Dry Anaerobic Digestion Plant
Dry AD: This article is about what happens inside a Dry Anaerobic Digestion Plant. we might also have called it “The Dry Anaerobic Digestion Process Explained Stage by Stage”. In brief, if you want to know what is Dry AD, read-on! Dry anaerobic digestion has been seen by some to be a bit of a […]
Food Waste Anaerobic Digestion – The Main Benefits
Food waste anaerobic digestion is often said to be an established “good thing”. This is supported by government policy, but almost no-one seemed to be explaining why! That’s why we made our short video titled: “5 Top Benefits of Anaerobic Digestion of Food Waste”, and we have gone further into more detail in this article. […]
Benefits of Anaerobic Digestion
The Benefits of Anaerobic Digestion are wide and the creation of renewable energy as biogas (largely methane), is just one of them. We provide a detailed lists, of the benefits of anaerobic digestion, below. We think that this is the most comprehensive document available on this subject. Before focusing on the detail, we begin by […]
The Classification of Pumps: Centrifugal and Positive Displacement Pumps
An alternative title to the classification of pumps would be the “types of water pumps and their working principles”. Pumps are divided into 2 major categories: Dynamic and Positive Displacement (actually you might as well just call them Displacement) pumps. Centrifugal pumps are the most common pump type used globally, that’s because of their simple […]
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 […]
What are Bioplastics and the Benefits of Biodegradable Plastic to Anaerobic Digestion
You might ask why we are writing to explain “What are Bioplastics“, and relating them to the anaerobic digestion of waste. The reason is as follows; Bioplastics, or something like-named are being thrust into the news. That’s a result of the recent realisation of the enormous scale of global plastics contamination which is now littering […]
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 […]
