Depleting fossil fuel resources, increasing energy prices and the rapid addition of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere all stress the importance of renewable energy sources. Biogas technology is a very attractive way to utilize biomass sources and recycle nutrients.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anaerobic Digestion (AD) is an ideal technology to create biogas from organic waste which can be converted into renewable heat and power. Alternatively, by implementing and using a biogas upgrading system, the biogas can be turned into biomethane capable of fueling vehicles or to be injected into the Natural Gas grid to render Renewable Natural Gas (RNG).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

How is Biogas Produced<\/h2><\/div>

Biogas is produced after organic materials, such as solid animal manure, biowaste and food waste, are broken down by bacteria in an oxygen-free environment, a process called anaerobic digestion. Biogas systems use anaerobic digestion to recycle these organic materials, turning them into biogas, which contains both energy (gas) and valuable soil products (liquids and solids).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Anaerobic Digestion<\/h2><\/div>

Anaerobic Digestion for biogas production is done in gassealed units called digesters, which are designed and build in different forms and sized, depending on the type of feedstock and loading amount. The digester units contain bacterial cultures that break down the waste to produce biogas and digestate, which can be converted into other valuable soil products.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"AD\"<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Optimized Process<\/h2><\/div>

WTT specializes in engineering AD facilities using the latest technology. WTT\u2019s AD tunnels are equipped with an aeration floor to allow the aerobic start-up of the process to quickly reach the mesophilic temperature, after which the process becomes anaerobic. Also, this allows the complete flushing of the biogas at the end of the process, not only in the upper part of the tunnels, but also in the material. Furthermore, WTT\u2019s system is inoculated via extensive irrigation with percolate, therefore avoiding material recirculation in the tunnels, which results in higher throughput.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
