Digester Covers and Secrets of the Flexible Inflatable Membrane Cover
Digester Covers, which also act as gasholders are an important part of any biogas plant, performing the triple function of sealing the digester from the air, keeping it warm, and providing storage for a variable rate of pressurized gas, to balance the rate of biogas production with its use. Digester covers are essential to the […]
For UK Energy and Food Security Biogas is a 3 Times No-Brainer
The ADBA conference next week in central London will focus on why (in our own words), for UK energy and food security, biogas from the anaerobic digestion process is a 3 times no-brainer! Why is that? UK energy and food security would benefit from three outputs from the anaerobic digestion process namely: biogas a biofertiliser […]
Agricultural Slurry Pumping Savings – Borger Satisfies an AD Plant Client
We are pleased to be able to report that highly significant savings have been achieved in agricultural slurry pumping costs at a farm-based AD Plant in Lincolnshire, as reported by Borger Pumps in combination with the distributor of their agricultural products Gissing FE. Watch our video below, or read the written article which follows. We think […]
Biogas Plant Pumps to Drive the Anaerobic Digestion Process
Biogas plant pumps drive the flow through the Anaerobic Digestion Process in all biogas plants. They are literally the heart of the process. If a biogas plant pump stops working and there is no standby pump, the process will no longer be fed and a biogas production run down will result. Soon, if pumping is […]
Sludge Blockages in Biogas Pipes Solved
Sludge blockages can cause a reduction in biogas output, which can be cured using an inline Mono Muncher for its tearing, shearing and crushing action. If your biogas yield drops unexpectedly, it could be due to a problem with your digester’s sludge homogeneity. It’s possible that your system isn’t mixing efficiently, and if your internal […]
Recycling Fish Morts Using Anaerobic Digestion
There’s a reason why recycling fish morts is valued as a digester feedstock amongst biogas plant operators. First, the fish mort pulp, comprising the dead young fish removed from aquaculture (mostly salmon) farms is rapidly digested. Second, mort recycling is also healthier and greener for the environment, than alternative disposal methods. There are many sources […]
Biomethane Bus Fleets and HGVs Proven Cleaner Cheaper and More Sustainable
The era of the biomethane bus has arrived in the UK as biomethane-powered buses and HGVs are also proving to be cleaner (satisfying Inner City Clean Air Act requirements) than diesel, cheaper to run and a lot more sustainable. Why a Biomethane Bus is So Much Better than Diesel Powered Biomethane has great potential as […]
Experts in Anaerobic Digestion in the UK Need to Shout Louder About the Benefits
In this article, we make the point that Anaerobic Digestion UK Professionals need to shout louder about the benefits of anaerobic digestion, and their vision of a global biogas boom. This article is inspired by an editorial by Charlotte Morton, ADBA’s Chief Executive, and she is quite right to point out that: The benefits of […]
Food Waste in America – The Wasteful Facts of Unused US Meals
The food waste in America is huge. The facts show that this is both a major problem for the environment, and at the same time could be a great asset. In the USA, the population wastes so much food that correspondingly large quantities of renewable sustainable, 24/7 energy could be created from the 60 million […]
