How Much Energy Exists in Wastewater?
Through technologies like anaerobic digestion, wastewater treatment plants can make use of wastewater’s latent energy. The energy potential of untreated wastewater has been widely discussed, but is there any reliable measure of how much energy is available in effluent? In the United States alone, wastewater holds enough energy potential to generate 851 trillion BTU of energy annually, ...

Foaming during anaerobic digestion: Causes and Solutions
Foaming during sludge treatment has traditionally been associated with activated sludge systems which have been victim to this phenomenon for several decades. However, foaming has been documented in anaerobic digestion plants, leading, fundamentally, to a reduction in digester capacity and an increase in operational expenditure. The requirements for foaming of: surface active agents, gaseous ...

Biden Asks: How can you Reduce your Methane Footprint?
BDC applauds Biden Administration, EPA and USDA for taking critical steps to reduce methane emissions through anaerobic digestion. Following the announcement of the “Methane Reduction Action Plan” at COP26, we are excited to see the Biden Administration, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and Department of Agriculture (USDA) view anaerobic digestion as a solution in the fight ...

Addressing food waste through anaerobic digestion
Food waste continues to be a problem worldwide, even with more and more attention being paid to reducing spoilage and to salvaging edible foods for redistribution or reuse. One approach to the problem is diverting inedible organic matter from landfills and treating it with anaerobic digestion, which has the side effect of capturing energy. The amount of food wasted worldwide was 2.3 billion ...

Anaerobic Digestion Reduces Microplastics in Sludge
Anaerobic digestion can help remove microplastics — a large cause of water pollution — during the sewage treatment process Microplastics, or tiny fragments of plastic, include microbeads, the plastic pellets present in thousands of household and personal care products, including toothpaste, cosmetics, and beauty scrubs. They also include fragments from the breakdown of anything in ...

Top Uses for Energy Recovered by Anaerobic Digestion
Anaerobic digestion treats high-strength wastewater streams while producing energy for a range of processes The wastewater treatment process called anaerobic digestion is the kind of flexible solution that is bringing the circular economy from the drawing board to reality. Not only is it capable of treating high-strength wastewater streams that might overload conventional municipal ...

Anaerobic Digesters
Anaerobic digesters/Biogas storage tanks are widely utilized at fields of industry, agriculture or municipality. Amongst of them using anaerobic digestion to generate biogas from organic wastes is increasingly becoming one of the most important and popular utilization. The process of anaerobic digestion is used for industrial or domestic purposes to manage waste or to produce bio-energy. ...

Nitrogen removal from digested manure in a simple one-stage process
A process based on partial nitrification and recirculation into the anaerobic digester was studied to remove nitrogen from digested manure and thus reduce enhanced gaseous ammonia emissions due to on-farm biogas production. An anaerobic reactor representing an anaerobic manure digester was fed with a nitrite solution and digested manure liquor. Nitrite was efficiently removed from the influent ...

Adding Value With Anaerobic Digestion
Adding waste-to-energy technology to wastewater treatment produces energy that can be used to power operations Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a biological process that uses microbes to biodegrade organic matter (feedstock) in the absence of oxygen. It provides a host of benefits in the treatment of challenging wastewater streams while offering the opportunity to produce value in the process. ...

New Zealand Facing Water Pollution Crisis
Explosive growth in New Zealand’s dairy industry has contributed to the problem New Zealand has cultivated an image as a country of pristine lakes, rivers, and fjords, but the image has suffered in recent years as the country’s dairy industry has experienced explosive growth. Dairy has long been a part of New Zealand’s heritage, according to the Dairy Companies Association of ...

What is energy recovery?
Processes like incineration and anaerobic digestion not only provide sources of energy, but they also reduce waste volume The term “energy recovery” often is applied only to a narrow number of methods for converting wastes into energy, when in fact it applies to a broad range of technologies used to create heat, electricity, or fuel. Energy recovery gives governments and businesses ...
