7 UK Anaerobic Digestion Incentives – Biogas Plant Grants and Subsidies GB
Read on for our list of the 7 current and lapsed UK anaerobic digestion incentives. As stated below, there are a number of financial support mechanisms that relate to AD and biogas production in the United Kingdom. New, Current, and Lapsed UK Anaerobic Digestion Incentives All but the first three UK anaerobic digestion incentives listed […]
Home Biogas – Well-Designed Flat-Pack Home Anaerobic Digestion Plant Units for All
Latest single-home anaerobic digestion unit off the shelf, turns food waste into biogas (cooking gas) and fertilizer, for under $900.
Pig Farm Biogas Plant Output Increased 10% While Reducing Impact
We welcome this news that an innovative US Pig Farm Biogas Plant operator has raised its biogas output while all else remains constant by more than 10% simply by installing more efficient pumps. We have written previously on a number of occasions about these pumps. These days hardly a week goes by without another technology […]
Digestate Separator Successfully Removes Plastic Packaging Waste from AD Plant Slurry
With the massive public concern about plastics entering the environment today’s news of a new digestate separator device that successfully removes plastic packaging waste, is very good news. It removes bits of food waste packaging, and other unwanted materials from entering the digester, and from the slurry which pours out of all wet-process biogas plants […]
Use a Biogas Extruder to Make Biogas from Straw Not Food – Biomass Bioextruder™
The Biogas Extruder: Until now making biogas from straw and other similar grain crop residues has been considered uneconomic by the AD industry. But, that was before the advent of bio extrusion technology, and specifically the biomass Bioextruder™. The use of any food crops for energy production often attracts public criticism. This is despite the […]
Scottish Anaerobic Digestion Industry’s Astonishing Year of Growth 2015
Scotland’s anaerobic digestion (AD) industry has grown by nearly 70%t in the last year, according to 2015 figures.
Combined Heat and Power Systems (CHP) – 3 Important Considerations for Design
Combined heat and power systems (CHP), are also known as co-generation systems, and they greatly improve the usable energy output from electricity generation systems. When a gas engine or turbine is used to generate electricity without CHP, after the electricity leaving the site, there is also hot “cooling water” that is used to keep the […]
The Biogas Engine Defined and How it Generates 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
Anaerobic Digestate Disposal, or Use as a Natural Fertilizer?
The question as to whether to go for Digestate Disposal, or use it as a Natural Fertilizer is important, and not a simple one to determine. Digestate from any wet anaerobic digestion process comprises both a liquid and a fibrous solid material. As we plan Anaerobic Digestion Plants the question arises for each site as […]
Food Waste Recycling in Scotland at Deerdykes – 10th Anniversary Passes for 1st Ever Large-scale Biogas Facility
It is now over a decade since the opening of the first facility for Food Waste Recycling in Scotland at Deerdykes Bioresources Centre near Cumbernauld in North Lanarkshire. The 10th anniversary passed in September 2020 for the first-ever large-scale biogas facility in the nation. As a consultant and design engineer, the author of this website […]
