5 Best-Proven Tips to Reduce the Costs of Biogas/ RNG Plant Operation
In this article, we reveal five of our best tips to reduce the costs of Biogas Plant (RNG – Renewable Natural Gas/ Biomethane production). Experts revealed that by optimizing different, but important aspects of biogas or RNG plants, you could reduce costs and even also make your biogas facilities more profitable. Let’s explore! Tip 1 […]
Is Biogas Carbon Neutral and What GHG Emissions Savings Occur When Using it?
Is biogas carbon neutral? Is easy to answer, and the short answer is “Yes”! The really interesting question though is what is the overall carbon footprint? Done well biogas production actually reverses the process leading to climate change. While biogas combustion, like natural gas combustion, creates carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas, the carbon in […]
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 […]
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
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 […]
Biogas Safety First and the Safety of AD Plants
Renewable energy sources are much needed, but the presence of explosive gases and potentially also pathogens means that observing biogas “Safety First” and ensuring the “Safety of Biogas/ AD/ Anaerobic Digestion Plants” must rank above simply producing valuable energy. Watch the video below which we made to give you a quick summary of the main […]
What is Biomethane? How It’s Made and Why It’s Renewable
So, What is Biomethane? Biomethane is a renewable, flexible and easily storable, low air pollution and low carbon emission fuel, that can be used wherever natural gas is used, without the need to change any settings on, or carry out any modification to, equipment designed to use natural gas. Watch our video below, it’s short […]
Biomethane Injection Project Using Membrane Filtration and Cryogenic Distillation Announced
A remarkable biomethane injection project using landfill gas which will upgrade the gas using membrane filtration and cryogenic distillation technology has been announced for the Can Mata Landfill, near Barcelona. It is inferred that the project has become economically viable due to the use of a novel technology combining membrane filtration and cryogenic distillation. This […]
