BIOMASSES AND GREEN WASTES WITH ANAEROBIC DIGESTION - (BIOGAS)
Anaerobic Digestion is the process by which organic material is biodegraded to produce BioGas, primarily Methane gas (the principal constituent of Natural Gas).
This is typically used for electricity generation and water and space heating, usually by fuelling Combined Heat and Power installations.
The process has many benefits:
- Treats a variety of Industrial, Agricultural and Domestic wastes.
- Ideal for wet wastes such as Industrial Wastewater and Manure.
- Appropriate for co-operative ventures amongst groups with similar residues, such as farmers.
- Carbon Neutral - the released carbon dioxide is re-absorbed by fresh growth of vegetation.
The output effluent exhibits:
- Substantial removal of odour problems in comparison to input wastes.
- Substantial reduction of pathogens and parasites.
- Enriched fertiliser properties due to the process producing vitamins and retaining nitrogen and other nutrients.
The agricultural sector presents a significant source of material, for example crop residues and manure, where an added advantage is the improved fertiliser and soil conditioning qualities of the process effluent.
