Anaerobic Digestion is both a waste treatment technology and a highly sustainable energy technology. Recent rises in energy costs, coupled with EU member state incentives, and waste management policy, now mean that economic viability has been attained. That’s what we said in 2006! In general it is still true, however, in many EU nations, Britain […]
The AD Process is the way biogas is produced. The “Anaerobic Digestion Process” to give it its full name, is simply rotting or composting in the absence of air. It can be a form of Waste Management, but most importantly it produces biogas. Biogas used wisely produces renewable energy, natural fertiliser, biomethane. It is a […]
Update for 2019 of the ArrowBio MBT process which incorporates Anaerobic Digestion technology: The original company may or may not now be operating. There appear to be a number of similarly named spin-off companies. The process continues to be an interesting example of how anaerobic digestion can be harnessed in MBT (Mechanical Biological Treatment of […]
Poo Power! The Poo from sewage works is making a LOT of power! Just look at our large image below which gives you THE FACTS ABOUT POO POWER. The way the subject is handled won’t meet the approval of some people (we apologize if that is you…) as the source of this very clean and […]
Autoclave Processing Starts at New Dorset Anaerobic Digestion Plant We all know the benefits of anaerobic digestion in waste treatment and management. Not only does this type of waste management reduce gas emissions, but the gases which are produced can be used as a type of renewable energy – or biogas – which can be […]
There has been a lot of news reporting about a recent rare event (we would assume) where people power has apparently won the day, and the Chinese authorities have withdrawn their plans. It is all about a waste water pipeline in the city of Qidong, which was planned but has been stopped after protests. (Image […]
(Image: Tekserve Apple Specialist via Flickr) Just like in other nations the rise and rise of gadget use and disposal is causing real worries for our environment. In Malaysia the Department of Environment has announced that discarded mobile phones should all be recycled to avoid environment-related emissions which they are concerned bring health problems. The […]
It has emerged that the European Parliament’s environment committee is set to consider a draft report (April 28) drawn up by one of its members that urges the European Commission to develop proposals for a specific bio-waste directive by the end of 2010. Bio-waste management (AD and Composting) has economic benefits which should be utilised […]
Urban-based local authorities should consider the anaerobic digestion big opportunity, as an alternative to in-vessel composting for the recycling of municipal biodegradable food waste, according to researchers at WRAP. Speaking today (23 April 2007) at the annual Recycling and Waste Forum in Birmingham on Thursday, WRAP’s organics supply programme manager Louise Hollingworth said: “In-vessel composting […]
