Pilot Scale Dual-Stage Digester Now Operational
For the last year, Quantalux and students/staff at Michigan State University have been building a pilot scale anaerobic digester (“Pilot AD”). This mobile unit can process manure, food waste and FOG (Fats, Oils and Greases), and is designed to be used as a test-bed to explore feedstock recipes and the biogas potential of mixed food/manure feedstocks. The Pilot AD includes a ...

Energy at Wastewater Treatment Plants - A Short Primer
On the topic of wastewater, most people are understandably of the “flush and forget” variety. But today’s wastewaster professionals recognize that in the long term, our approach to sewage treatment needs to be less about “processing” wastewater, and more about “recovery” of limited resources such as water and energy from the incoming waste. ...

New Biobang installed in Germany
In the future, a BioBANG technology will support the substrate digestion of the Blum biogas plant in the Vulkaneifel New installation of BioBANG in Renè Blum’s biogas plant in the Vulkaneifel district of the Rhineland. BioBANG, installed in recirculation on the main digester, ensures greater digestion of the most difficult substrates. This not only increases the biogas production, ...

High performance biogas plants for organics waste diversion
Wild fluctuations in prices for agricultural products and mushrooming prices for energy can greatly influence the economics of biogas plants. Long term reliable profitability calculations are becoming increasingly difficult. Generally speaking, however, rising energy prices have a positive effect on the economics of well designed biogas projects. By selecting low cost feedstock, the ...

Towards a sustainable use of food waste: influence of urea on biogas production potentials of selected fruit wastes in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
This study evaluates the influence of adding urea on biogas (methane) production potentials of selected fruit wastes. Using standard methodology, the finding revealed that all the fruit wastes are ideal substrates for biogas production. The ultimate biogas yield on anaerobic digestion of fruit waste feeds, avocado, banana, and mango, are 0.48, 0.57, 0.53 l/g VS without urea supplement and 0.76, ...

Biogas and Anaerobic Digestion in Relation to CH4 Methane Monitoring
The use of biogas as a renewable energy source currently accounts for 10 % of global primary energy consumption1 and is often heralded as the perfect example of the ‘circular economy’ – where waste products can be reused to generate energy for other processes in a self-perpetuating cycle.2Biogas consists of the mixture of gases produced by the breakdown of organic matter by bacteria under ...

Biogas embedded in the EU bioeconomy
How can the EU bioeconomy best contribute to the transition towards sustainable development and a climate-neutral economy by 2050? In April 2021, the European Commission published a report[1] presenting four scenarios for the future EU bioeconomy until 2050. One of the scenarios presented in the report is particularly encouraging for our sector as it forecasts a growth of the bio-based industry, ...

Using biogas for combined heat and power
An integral part of the majority of anaerobic digestion facilities across the world is the CHP combined heat and power (CHP) engine. For the first time builder of a biogas plant, it is often neglected as the focus is on reducing the capital costs of the installation. However, the engine is integral to the plant, and is the key component in the production of renewable electricity, hence the ...
