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 ...

Recovering biomethane and nutrients from anaerobic digestion of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) and its co-digestion with fruit and vegetable waste
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 alone and in its co-digestion with FVW ...

Anaerobic treatability and biogas production potential of selected in-mill streams
Biochemical methane potential assays (BMP assays) were performed to study the potential of anaerobic treatment of in-mill wastewaters. The assay results indicated that condensate and the BCTMP effluent, which are currently treated with the anaerobic internal circulation reactors, were the best streams for anaerobic treatment because of their relatively high degradability (>80%) and initial rates ...

Unlocking the full potential of biogas
Led by the World Biogas Association and its members, DMT Environmental Technology called on Governments globally to unlock the full potential of biogas in addressing the climate emergency. Global biogas industry leaders, led by the World Biogas Association (WBA), call on governments globally to act to unlock the sector’s potential. The use of biogas can reduce global greenhouse gas ...

Potential biogas production from sludges and msw in Uruguay
Sewage treatment Montevideo's sewage is disposed into the sea by means of an outfall. Nevertheless as there are a lot of cities that are not on seashore, and most of these cities are discharging their effluents into rivers without proper treatment, a more strict sewage treatment must be done in order to achieve the discharge standards. For the 1,780,000 inhabitants the current sewage coverage is ...

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, ...

Evaluation of treatment potential, biogas generation and sludge properties of an anaerobic claridigester
The anaerobic process for the treatment of municipal and industrial wastewater has been in practice for over a century. Apart from treatment of wastewater, the process has the advantage of lower sludge and biogas production that can save energy. Application of this process in a primary clarifier in such a way that there is simultaneous digestion of primary settled sludge and organic removal ...

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 ...

No Pipeline for Renewable Natural Gas Projects? No problem. Use Virtual Pipeline Technology
On site biogas production Biogas can be produced from various organic resources of which the most common are agricultural waste, municipal waste, landfills, and wastewater treatment facilities. But biogas upgrading is also very much applicable in the (food & beverage) industry. Through biogas upgrading, trace impurities and carbon dioxide (CO2) in raw biogas are separated from methane (CH4) ...

Recovering energy from biogas emission: the case of Mariana Mantovana landfill (Italy)
This paper deals with the analytic rating of the economic investment in an energy recovery plant for municipal waste, in relation to the estimate of its capability to exploit biogas production transformation, and sale of electricity production, and the Green Certificates. The approach entails the assessment of potential scenarios of biogas flare coming from its production forecasts, according to ...

Biogas desulfurization and biogas upgrading using a hybrid membrane system – modeling study
Membrane gas permeation using glassy membranes proved to be a suitable method for biogas upgrading and natural gas substitute production on account of low energy consumption and high compactness. Glassy membranes are very effective in the separation of bulk carbon dioxide and water from a methane-containing stream. However, the content of hydrogen sulfide can be lowered only partially. This ...

Ensuring Safety and Compliance in Biogas Facilities: The Role of Biogas Analyzer
Biogas has emerged as a promising renewable energy source with significant environmental benefits. It is produced through the anaerobic digestion of organic materials such as agricultural waste, food scraps, and sewage sludge. Biogas predominantly consists of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), along with traces of impurities like hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and moisture. While biogas offers ...

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 ...

Biogas-to-biomethane upgrading plant
Chesterfield BioGas (CBG) supplied the UK’s first biogas upgrading plant to produce clean biomethane for direct injection into the national gas grid for use by all consumers. The project was successfully completed and gas injected into the national grid at the wastewater treatment site of Thames Water site at Didcot, Oxfordshire in October 2010. This achievement was a benchmark moment for ...

Kickoff for Biogas - South America Opts for Green Energy Made by WELTEC
Currently, the world is locked on to the FIFA World Cup in Brazil. Though they have already reached a high technical level as far as football is concerned, the South American countries still have development potential in the fields of biogas technology and renewable energies. In the interview, Aguinaldo Ramalho of the German biogas plant manufacturer WELTEC BIOPOWER talks about the potential, ...
