Anaerobic Digestion of Manure
Anaerobic Digestion of Manure: A Comprehensive Guide to Sustainable Energy Production Anaerobic digestion is a biological process that transforms organic materials, such as livestock manure, into renewable energy. This article explores the significance of manure management in agriculture and the role of anaerobic digestion in promoting sustainable farming. The anaerobic digestion of manure is the most common type of on farm anaerobic […]
Anaerobic Digestion Wastewater Treatment
The Process of Anaerobic Wastewater Treatment or “How it Works”. Dealing with wastewater can be tough. We all want clean rivers and lakes, but often the process of getting there is complex. One effective method is anaerobic digestion wastewater treatment and before we start I will admit that it’s also complex. Wastewater treatment applications use […]
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 […]
Biomethane from Sewage Sludge at Minworth STW Heats 3,000 UK Homes
Biomethane from sewage sludge is a success for STW: Discover how the Biogas Plant at Minworth STW (Sewage Treatment Works – or alternatively called a Wastewater Treatment Works is turning sewage sludge into renewable biomethane to heat 3,000 homes. Read on for a story of green energy innovation. Are you concerned about how our everyday […]
The Sludge Digestion Process Explained
Welcome to our in-depth explanation of the municipal wastewater sludge digestion process which is used at Activated Sludge Aeration WwTWs which now means the vast majority of global WwTWs. In modern times, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have become increasingly sophisticated in their approach to waste management. One of the most important processes within any WWTP […]
Anaerobic Wastewater Treatment – An Introduction to Sustainable
Read on if you would like to discover the basics behind the anaerobic treatment of wastewater. “The amount of wastewater produced globally increases in tandem with the global population. To safeguard human health and the environment, proper wastewater management is essential.” The use of anaerobic bacteria to clean wastewater has become increasingly common in recent […]
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 […]
Sewage Sludge Digestion – Ofwat UK Rule Changes Allow Outsourced Treatment
Five years ago, in this article, we announced that sewage sludge digestion would be put out to tender as an outsourced service by many, or all UK water companies. The opinion we gave was that there would be big opportunities from Ofwat for companies to take sewage sludge and co-digest it. We looked forward to […]
Hydrolysis of Sewage Sludge and Anaerobic Digestion Wins
The hydrolysis of sewage sludge and the subsequent anaerobic digestion of the hydrolysed sludge output is becoming increasingly common at many sewage works. We think we are justified to call it a winning combination, and we even back up this assertion by providing information on a new contract win for the technology by Veolia, in […]
