Energy from biogas
From an ecological and economical perspective, biogas is an important source of energy. The fossil resources are limited, and they impose a high burden on the environment. A resourceconserving alternative made from biomass poses a different scenario. The raw material is renewable, and conversion only releases as much CO2 as was previously contained by the source material. With the technological ...

Increasing biogas yield through addition of food waste
1. Introduction The Moosburg wastewater treatment plant has one 634,008 gallons anaerobic digester, which was designed to process a maximum 23,775 gallons/day of activated sludge at 3.5% solids. The AD is currently processing 17,170 gallons/day of sludge and producing 39decatherms/day of energy from biogas. The operators would like to better utilize their anaerobic digester to achieve energy ...

High solids anaerobic digestion of pfmsw using novel anaerobic reactors
In the last decade efforts have been made to control anaerobic digestion of the putrescible fraction of municipal solid waste (PFMSW) in engineered reactors, than to allow for 'free' digestion in landfill sites. Such a process achieves enhanced treatment efficiency in significantly reduced retention times (from years down to days) and completes energy recovery from waste, without biogas emissions ...

Biogas desulphurisation using the DMT multiple stage Sulfurex® process
Global rising energy costs are focusing efforts by many industrial and municipal entities to find new sources of energy. Generating electricity from Biogas is of course nothing new however the cost of cleaning up certain Biogas streams with excessive levels of Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) has previously proven to be financially unsustainable. Rising energy costs combined with improvements and cost ...

Precise biogas flow measurement: Overcoming the challenges of changing gas composition
INTRODUCTION As oil prices remain high, we are in the midst of a nation-wide initiative to seek renewable sources of energy to increase energy efficiency and energy security. Renewable energy accounted for 13.2% of the domestically produced electricity in 2012. Among the sources of renewable energy is the production of biogas from landfill gas (LFG) or digester gas. The production of biogas is ...

Modified ADM1 for high-rate anaerobic co-digestion of thermally pre-treated brewery surplus yeast wastewater
Co-digestion of surplus yeast with brewery wastewater is a potentially economical method for recovering energy, in the form of biogas, from this difficult to dispose of by-product. In this work a modified version of the ADM1 (Anaerobic Digestion Model No. 1) was calibrated for an anaerobic digester fed with thermally pre-treated brewery yeast surplus wastewater. The model could predict ...

No pipeline, no problem
Colony Farm - First virtual pipeline of this scale Upgraded biogas makes a very efficient source of renewable energy, biomethane. Biogas can be produced from various organic resources of which the most common are agricultural waste, municipal waste, landfills, and wastewater treatment facilities. Some of these sites are in very remote areas that do not have access to a national grid to inject ...

The Future of Biogas: Why Biogas Analyzers are Key to Advancements in Renewable Energy
As the world continues to shift towards sustainable energy sources, biogas is emerging as a valuable and versatile renewable energy option. Biogas is produced through the decomposition of organic matter, such as agricultural waste and sewage, and can be used to generate electricity, heat, and fuel. However, to get the most out of this resource, it is crucial to understand and monitor the quality ...

Biogas measurement devices
As global oil prices remain high, countries around the globe are seeking renewable energy sources to increase energy efficiency and security. Among the sources of renewable energy is the production of biogas from landfill gas (LFG) or digester gas. To monetize biogas and create the most efficient fuel sources, it is critical to accurately measure how much biogas is produced in each stage of the ...

Biogas Treatment in WWTP
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are facilities that consume large amounts of energy (thermal and electrical), as a result of their operation, they produce large amounts of sludge. The anaerobic digestion of these sludges from wastewater treatment produces biogas, which, due to its concentration in methane (CH 4 ), constitutes a biofuel that can be used for energy production. The best ...
