Small Scale Biogas Plants for Home Cooking Fuel

The use of small scale biogas plants for home cooking fuel is gaining more followers in the developed nations all the time. These small Anaerobic Digestion Plants (or “biogas digesters”) are great for home cooking using the waste food (table scraps) every day from a young family can fuel a gas ring to heat up […]

Optimisation of Biogas Production – 8 Tips for the Best Methane Gas Yield

In our opinion, the optimisation of biogas production for improved biogas yield should start with the consideration of the following list of factors which affect the fermentation tank for all wet Anaerobic Digestion Processes (e.g. Continuous Stirred Tank Reactors – CSTRs), and many also apply to dry AD methods as well. This is important because […]

How to Increase Biogas Production – 4 Ways to Improve Biogas Yield from AD Processes

It’s clear that that everyone involved in AD would like to know “How to Increase Biogas Production“. So, we thought we would join-in with our 4 ways which we have been thinking of recently, for standard commercial single stage CSTR AD plants. If the AD (anaerobic digestion) industry reliably increases biogas production above current established […]

What is Pyrolysis? And, Its Pros and Cons Versus Biogas for Energy

We answer the question “What is Pyrolysis” first with a definition and then consider the pros and cons of pyrolysis technology, versus anaerobic digestion and biogas production for energy from biomass. What is Pyrolysis? A Definition of this Process – Used to Extract Energy from Waste The non-technical answer is that pyrolysis is known to […]

Why Biomethane Output Will Rise Despite Government Biogas Plant Subsidy Degradation

We still believe that Biomethane Output will rise in the UK and Europe, despite UK Government Biogas Plant Subsidy removal and degradation. Our original graphic (shown on the left here) which was made to accompany this article now looks over-optimistic for the time. Nevertheless, there are so many reasons why this renewable fuel will be […]

Advantages of Anaerobic Digestion

The advantages of anaerobic digestion are many and varied. We pick out those that have the biggest impact, and are most often quoted. Anaerobic digestion technology produces benefits that are both environmentally and financially sustainable. By reducing fossil fuels the technology reduces the need for fossil fuels, and in this way is inherently a climate […]

RWM 2020 Even Better? After 2019 Had It All – Recycling, Waste Management and Biogas! Record Breaking Year

Could RWM 2020 be even better? We think that’ll be a hard act to follow, after 2019 had it all. Recycling, Waste Management and Biogas exhibits were all there in abundance, under one roof and with an unbeatable seminar coverage. We challenge anyone to have attended and not found more than enough inspiration from it. […]
