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 energy-rich biogas. In addition, the anaerobic technology can be used in dairies to produce biogas from waste whey. The biogas which is generated can be used to produce electrical and/or thermal energy.
Due to increasing awareness on the impact of fossil fuels on the environment, and heavier taxes on carbon emissions there is a worldwide effort to seek renewable sources of energy – alternative energy sources that increase energy efficiency and security.
A renewable source that’s gained significant attention in recent years is biogas, one of the most established renewable energy sources which is capable of producing heat, steam, electricity and vehicle fuel. [1]

Earths is sick and needs to be fixed. This simple message is enough for every body alive to be involve in fixing our home. Constatnt pollution of our evironment by fossil fuels ,humaan activities have degraded our ozone, allowing greenhouse gases to deplet the ozona and occupy our atmosphere.The damages caused by fossil fuel can not be overemphasized,as more and more problems and global warming is emerging on daily basis . Osmartex & Co Nig Ltd is investing in biogas plant construction that would provide up...
Over the past few years, more and more companies have woken up to the financial and environmental benefits to be gained by making the most of their organic waste streams. In fact, the anaerobic digestion (AD) industry – which converts millions of tonnes of food, sewage and farm waste into renewable energy (biogas) and biofertiliser – has been one of the UK’s biggest success stories in recent times.
DMT published a new article on their website called Busting the Biomethane MythsIn the AD sector...
On the surface, wastewater treatment operations don’t appear to be handling precious material. But these facilities are actually processing a great deal of value every day.
Sludge, a byproduct of wastewater treatment, turns out to be an entity worth cherishing.
“Depending on treated sludge quality, the final product can be land applied, landfilled, incinerated, or composed,” according toBiomass Magazine.
While there is an opportunity to sell sludge as fertilizer for agricultural use, or at...
The efficacy of sonication as a pre-treatment to anaerobic digestion (AD) was assessed using thickened waste activated sludge (TWAS). Efficiency was measured in relation to solubilisation, dewaterability, and AD performance. Eighteen experimental conditions were evaluated at low frequency (20 kHz), duration (2–10 s), amplitude (∼8–12 μm) and applied pressure (0.5–3.0 barg), using a sonix™ patented titanium sonoprobe capable of delivering an instantaneous power of ∼6 kW provided by Doosan Enpure Ltd (DEL). An...
