Food Waste in America – The Wasteful Facts of Unused US Meals
The food waste in America is huge. The facts show that this is both a major problem for the environment and at the same time reducing it could be a great asset. In the USA, the population wastes so much food that correspondingly large quantities of renewable sustainable, 24/7 energy could be created from the […]
List of Food Waste Depackaging and Separation Equipment Suppliers
The following is a list of “Food Waste Depackaging and Separation Equipment Suppliers”. The list is based upon our online search for, as far as possible, a complete list of global manufacturers/ suppliers of depackaging and separation machinery designed to treat mixed biowaste waste streams for the purpose of reuse and recycling in the anaerobic […]
Food Waste Separators with Less Destructive Depackaging & Pulping Pre-treat SSOHW Better
Prior to anaerobic digestion, new food waste separators with advanced depackaging and pulping technology, when used to pre-treat Source-Separated Organic Household Waste (SSOHW), improve the purity of the organic pulp. Reject output streams were also purer than for earlier systems based on milling and shredding. That’s according to research by the Department of Environmental Engineering, […]
Small-scale Digestate Separator for Dairy Farms with up to 150 Cows
A small-scale digestate separator has been added to the popular Börger Bioselect™ range of digestate separator units. This adds to their range, which has become a top choice for operators seeking solid/ liquid digestate separation. Virtually all AD plant operators would be assisted by this technology at the outlets from their biogas reactors. Press Release […]
Biogas Conference London 14 December – ADBA’s First Physical Event Since Covid
The Biogas Conference returns to London on 14 December. it will be ADBA’s first physical event since covid. Hoping to see you there! So, here is the latest official Press Release about it. Climate, Gas and CO2 Security will be the Key Themes of the ADBA 2021 National Conference Lord Callanan to open the first […]
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
