Biogas analyzers play a crucial role in this, as they enable us to monitor and optimize biogas production in real-time. ...
This allows producers to analyse how much biogas is generated in each stage of production. However, accurately measuring biogas is challenging due to variations in the concentrations of different gases in biogas. ...
The European Union is looking to decrease its energy dependence on Russian gas. The EU Commission has proposed to increase the bio-methane production from 3 billion cubic meters in 2020 to 35 billion cubic meters by 2030. It is an irony that the gas package for legislation presented by the European Commission in December 2021 might not have been a priority for the French EU Council Presidency, ...
As a type of biofuel that not only eliminates waste but also produces a valuable energy source, biogas production has increased in recent years. According to the US Energy Information Administration, biogas contributed to approximately 11.5 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity back in 2017. ...
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, ...
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 ...
Location East Anglia Client Westry Project Type Digester Package Westry, a leading vegetable supplier based in East Anglia, recently made significant extensions to their Anaerobic Digestion plant as part of their upscaling works. Working closely with Anaerobic Digestion specialists Local Generation, Stortec delivered engineering and product installation of further Anaerobic ...
This allows producers to analyse how much biogas is generated in each stage of production. However, accurately measuring biogas is challenging due to variations in the concentrations of different gases in biogas. ...
The SENTRY system was installed July 2017 at CNETE (Centre National en Electrochimie et en Technologies Environnementales) or National Center in Electrochemistry and Environmental Technologies testing facility in Quebec, Canada. A system was installed in two duplicate Anaerobic Digesters processing waste activated sludge. A pre-treatment step was added to one of the reactors, and the differences ...
To lower energy consumption at a sewage treatment plant (STP), primary settling could be enhanced to direct more chemical oxygen demand (COD) to anaerobic digestion (AD) for increased biogas production and decreased aeration. Primary settling can be chemically enhanced by applying flocculation aids (FAs). FAs are refractory compounds that may affect all sludge treatment facilities. In this ...
Anaerobic digestion of wastewater sludge is the preferred method for sludge treatment as it produces energy in the form of biogas as well as a stabilised product that may be land applied. Different pre-treatments have been proposed to solubilise organic matter and increase biogas production. Sludge electrooxidation with boron-doped diamond electrodes was used as pre-treatment for waste ...
Electrical current in the hydrolytic phase of the biogas process might affect biogas yield. In this study, four 1,150 mL single membrane-less chamber electrochemical bioreactors, containing two parallel titanium plates were connected to the electrical source with voltages of 0, −0.5, −1 and −1.5 V, respectively. Reactor 1 with 0 V was considered as a control reactor. The trend of biogas ...
The potential to recover bioenergy from anaerobic digestion of water hyacinth (WH) and from its co-digestion with fruit and vegetable waste (FVW) was investigated. Initially, biogas and methane production were studied using the biochemical methane potential (BMP) test at 2 g volatile solids (VS) L−1 of substrate concentration, both in the digestion of WH ...
Thermal steam-explosion is the most extended hydrolysis pretreatment to enhance anaerobic digestion of sludge. Thermal hydrolysis key parameters are temperature (T) and time (t), and the generally accepted values reported from full-scale information are: 150–230 °C and 20–60 min. This study assesses the influence of different temperature–time–flash combinations (110–180 °C, 5–60 min, 1–3 ...
A BioCat+ system was installed at Espinho, Portugal, the site is a waste water treatment facility with an AD plant, processing domestic sewage. Citadel Environmental Solutions technology, BioCat+™ has recently been installed at a Waste water treatment plant in Portugal. The AD plant technology is a bespoke design cosisting of 2 x digestors of 2668 M3 in parallel with 2x400kw CHP's. The ...
Anaerobic digestion is widely used as an important source of renewable energy. With the increasing number and capacity of biogas plants also, adequate treatment technologies for whole digestate – the residue from anaerobic digestion – are gaining attention. In this study the state of the art of digestate processing is analysed, and currently used treatment schemes and the various ...
The composition of digester gas changes during the course of production. Even the sizes of the pipes can change as the plant is scaled up to meet increasing demand. ...
The objective of the study was to identify the impact of co-digesting clarifier skimmings on the overall methane generation from the treatment plant and additional energy value of the increased methane production. Biogas production from co-digesting clarifier skimmings and sewage sludge in pilot-scale fed-batch mesophilic anaerobic digesters has been evaluated. The digester was fed with ...
Anaerobic digestion is a well established technology for the reduction of organic matter and stabilization of wastewater. Biogas, a mixture of methane and carbon dioxide, is produced as a useful by-product of the process. Current solid waste management at the city of Prince George is focused on disposal of waste and not on energy recovery. Co-digestion of fresh fruit and vegetable waste with ...
