Why Choose
\nAnaerobic
\nDigestion<\/span><\/p><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
In addition to landfill diversion and the production of valuable soil amendments, Anaerobic Digestion has the potential to provide a sustainable, renewable and environmentally friendly green energy source.<\/p>\n
With our Anaerobic Digestion technology you can add power and heat, or renewable natural gas to your product portfolio, for a \u2018closed loop\u2019 waste management system that literally powers itself!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Keep It Simple<\/h2><\/div>Organic household waste is full of energy and ready to be re-used as a sustainable resource. The aim is simple: organic waste in, quality compost out and biogas out.<\/p>\n
Household waste has a miscellaneous and undefined composition by nature. Our Anaerobic Digestion systems are designed to handle exactly that, without complicating the process.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>
Tunnel System<\/h3><\/div>The tunnel system is modular and perfectly compatible with in-vessel composting systems.<\/p>\n
Each tunnel is equipped with a dedicated pre-fab skid that controls the tunnel process. This is connected to the central process computer. A central fermentation tank serves as the heart of the system and enables perfect integration with liquid waste streams.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Gas Engine<\/h3><\/div>By means of a gas engine, the biogas can be turned into renewable heat and power. The biogas can also be upgraded to renewable natural gas serving the grid or fueling your own fleet of waste collection vehicles and other municipal transport. We guarantee a level of gas production based on the gas potential in the feedstock.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Digestate Composting<\/h3><\/div>Dry Anaerobic Digestion has the advantage that the digestate does not need any dewatering and can be composted<\/u> <\/strong>without any further pre-treatment. This leads to less handling costs and a better water balance than competing technologies.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
