Freya's Anaerobic Digestion and Biogas Info
#Anaerobic digestion may be described as the equivalent of “composting without air”. Under normal conditions, such as in a compost bin, aerobic (oxygen breathing) organisms break down biodegradable organic materials into simpler forms of matter, producing carbon dioxide (CO2) in
#Anaerobic digestion is a great process for creating renewable energy, and it is also unique in that it solves many other problems, especially if the feedstock material which is used as the substrate to “fuel” the anaerobic digestion is a
The growth of #anaerobic digestion in the UK has not met Defra’s strategy target of 2011, when 1,000 new digesters were to be built by 2015. In fact less than half that figure was achieved, nevertheless the industry has been
On-farm or what are also known as farm-scale #anaerobic digestion plants are most often built to provide an income from the #biogas that is made from manure. The manure which is treated may be from stock litter waste created when
The net energy yield of #anaerobic digestion plants, which is the sale-able energy left after all the sacrificial energy demands of running an #anaerobic digestion plant are taken into account, is a subject of huge concern for all AD plant
Centralised anaerobic digestion plants, are a great idea, because they allow the pooling of resources to achieve multiple aims. These include not just for the #biogas plant operator to make a profit from a successful energy (biogas production) business, but
Biogas is the gas produced by the #anaerobic digestion of organic materials. It takes place in what is known as a #biogas digester. These are becoming increasingly common sights in the countryside. They are easily recognized once you have seen
#Anaerobic Digestion of the sludge which is generated in huge quantities during the treatment of sewage is now the for treating and disposing of wastewater treatment sludge. This is a major change which has occurred over the last 15
For the purpose of this article, we define #Biowaste has any one of the following waste types, or combination of these waste types: 1. Source segregated household biodegradable waste that is, the food wastes from kitchens and green waste
Just how much output of #biogas and energy from biogas can be achieved, is an often asked and crucially important question, when planning a biogas project. Most feasibility studies conducted for biogas plants are based upon an assumption that
We nearly called this article “why flatulence (#biogas) is better than wind”, but we decided that it was a little bit too flippant for such a serious subject. There are in fact that least five reasons why #anaerobic digestion as
