Anaerobic Digestion and Biogas News and Developments
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. […]
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 […]
Methane Facts and Why It’s a Greenhouse Gas Much Worse than Carbon Dioxide
Methane Facts – From AD to Greenhouse Warming of the Atmosphere: Methane is the main constituent in the gas produced by anaerobic digestion (AD) at usually about 60% of the total gas produced. Most of the rest is carbon dioxide. It is also a fact that it’s produced in large quantities from decaying organic wastes. […]
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 […]
Covered Anaerobic Lagoon Process and Manure Ponds for Biogas
A simple, low capital cost, anaerobic digestion process using the Covered Anaerobic Lagoon Process The process which we have named as the “Covered Anaerobic Lagoon Process” has been around since the development of geomembrane lining systems for low-cost water storage. This method of encapsulating a lagoon to make use of the biogas has been in […]
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 […]
