Wastewater treatment in the dairy processing industry - recovering energy using anaerobic technology
Introduction The composition of wastewater from dairy processing plants makes it highly suitable for biological wastewater treatment processing. As well anaerobic biological treatment of the wastewater there is also the option of applying anaerobic biological processes. By applying anaerobic technology a large part of the organic load in the wastewater can be removed and converted into ...

Sustainable cost reductions: biogas from liquid wastes
Generate energy instead of consuming it: treating liquid wastes and wastewater on a communal basis to generate biogas is an interesting alternative to conventional wastewater treatment and disposal for dairies. This is becoming a serious consideration for the future for milk producers given the globally increasing challenges arising from wastewater regulations or CO2 guidelines. More and more ...

Autogenerative high pressure digestion: anaerobic digestion and biogas upgrading in a single step reactor system
Conventional anaerobic digestion is a widely applied technology to produce biogas from organic wastes and residues. The biogas calorific value depends on the CH4 content which generally ranges between 55 and 65%. Biogas upgrading to so-called ‘green gas’, with natural gas quality, generally proceeds with add-on technologies, applicable only for biogas flows >100 m3/h. In the concept of ...

Optimal environmental benefits of utilising alternative energy technologies in Jordan
With rapid population growth and increase in industrial activities, more energy is consumed, resulting in environmental pollution and economic difficulties. Therefore, the need for utilising renewable energy resources has emerged. Although Jordan does not have adequate fuel supplies (90% of its crude oil is imported), it is gifted with alternative resources. Because of the political and ...

SAS Agrigaz Agricultural Biogas Upgrading Plant, France - Case Study
In 2009, 40 farmers from the commune of Vire in Normandie and its surrounding areas came together to create an innovative and unifying project to promote collective anaerobic digestion. It has taken over 10 years to define the project, to find the land, to obtain authorisations and to finalise the project that now produce biogas from local agricultural wastes. The solution to treat waste was ...

Pathways Toward Post-Petrochemistry
Ethylene, or ethene, is a primary feedstock for the chemical industry, including as a starting material for the production of a wide variety of plastics. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, scientists have now introduced a new electrochemical technique for selective and energy-efficient production of ethylene from carbon monoxide, which can be obtained from renewable resources and waste. From both ...

Captive power plant efficiency for Africa
Power distribution networks across Africa are notoriously unreliable. Frequent power interruptions can be enormously costly for many of the continent’s factories. Not only do power outages disrupt production batches, they can also damage or reduce the life of important plant components such as kilns. This too has a knock-on effect on wider the country’s gross domestic product – ...

Harper Adams College Anaerobic Digester CHP Plant - Case Study
Harper Adams University College Anaerobic Digestion Facility is an award winning renewable energy development in Shropshire. Operated under the name Harper Adams Energy, the anaerobic digester generates biogas derived from food waste originating from the surrounding area. The plant was officially opened by Lord Taylor of Holbeach CBE, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State on the 12th January ...

Biomethane enters the gas grid article for energy world
The Carbon Plan, published in 2011, aims to reduce UK carbon emissions by a quarter from 1990 levels. With the current policies in place, the UK is on target to reduce emissions by over a third by 2020 and with the introduction of new technologies this should increase to an 80% reduction by 2050. However, currently around half the UK’s carbon emissions result from heat related processes and ...

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 ...

Project - Biogas ACTION - Further development of the European sectors of biogas and biomethane
The project Biogas Action is supported by the EU-funded Framework Program for Research and Innovation "Horizon 2020" (grant agreement No 691755) Project period: 2016-2018 This European Horizon 2020 EU project promotes sustainable production of biogas and biomethane obtained from manure and waste. The aim is to exploit the full potential of these residues in Europe. ...

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 ...

New technology enables biogas plant optimization
Governments around the world are seeking to lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the fight against climate change, to reduce waste to landfill, and to increase their utilisation of renewable energy in compliance with international agreements. Consequently, in many countries, subsidies have been made available to encourage the growth of the biogas sector. According to the International ...

BEIS Consultation on the Future of UK Green Gas Support
One of the bioeconomy’s greatest opportunities lies in provision of renewable heat, specifically from the injection of biomethane from anaerobic digestion (AD) into the gas grid. This provides a consistent and reliable source of renewable heat for both domestic and non-domestic purposes by decarbonising the gas grid, lowering the carbon emissions profile compared to natural gas. ...
