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 […]
Biogas Process Benefits Complexities and Investment Incentives
Today we are talking about biogas incentives and whether or not current policies on biogas incentives are right. Specifically, we’re going to be focused on anaerobic digestion and what we think the policymakers could or should do to maximize its potential to increase investment in the sector. Biogas is a very interesting product that is […]

Biogas Digester Crust Re-dissolved by Landia GasMix Mixer After Propeller Mixing Failure
Biogas digester crust formations floating on the surface of reactor tanks may sound to be of little consequence, but that’s not so according to anaerobic digestion tank operators. furthermore, breaking up and re-dissolving a biogas digester tank surface crust was defeating the best efforts of one AD plant operator recently after a propeller mixer suffered […]
Make COVID-19 Recovery Green Say Business Leaders
Renewables trade associations have added their voice today to the growing consensus that if society has learned anything from the COVID-19 experience, it must be that human life on this planet is fragile. Making the UK’s COVID-19 recovery green is essential from that point of view, due to the huge risks from climate change, but […]
Landfill Odour Due to Covid-19 – Operators Urged to Send Organic Waste to Biogas Plants
A rise in organic waste being landfilled due to the Covid-19 crisis is not only contrary to national waste policy, but it is likely to be the cause of a growing problem of UK landfill odour experienced in the last few days. Complaints have been rising in Fife for some time. Similar news is expected […]
Wastewater Treatment Sludge Mixing Improvements Raise Plant Efficiency
Wastewater Treatment Sludge Mixing Case Study: Landia the leading producer of specialist water treatment pumps, mixers, aeration systems and advanced processes, has drastically lowered sludge disposal costs and is saving valuable landfill space at a large WwTW in the US. In the words of the Superintendent of the Sewer Authority: “The Landia mixers have been […]
How to Cut Carbon Emissions? Assisting Biomethane Could Cut 1/3 Off Hardest
Wondering how to cut carbon emissions? New report says that assisting UK biomethane production could cut 1/3 off the carbon emission from the hardest to decarbonise sectors. Hopefully the UK, and other governments, are currently thinking hard on how to cut it! The new report says that assisting biomethane production could cut just under 1/3 […]
