South Korean Anaerobic Digestion Plant Started is Second by Weltec Biopower


Welted Biopower has issued a Press Release announcing their second biogas plant has been started in South Korea.


In these days, there has actually been enhanced focus on global warming and now the exhaustion of sources recently caused by the hefty consumption of fossil sources, in South Korea. 

In order to solve these troubles, biomass is significantly gaining international interest as a renewable energy resource. 

Biogas stemmed from different biomass is ecologically friendly and a renewable (climate change friendly) fuel for power heating, generation, and now also as a automobile fuel source. 

Huge quantities of sewage sludge, and food waste, as well as manure are created from human activity, however these organic wastes contain high degrees of organic matter. Hence, they are prospective substrates for generating methane of biogas. 

Biogas contains 60 % of high heat output methane, which is anticipated to be used wisely as energy. 

In the article (see link below), we look into the condition of biogas in Korea as an alternative energy.

Anaerobic Digestion News: Anaerobic Digestion Creates Heat but is UK Industry Overheating?



The anaerobic digestion process creates heat, and this is especially useful when it is used on the site of the digestion plant or is piped to a local factory or home, to provide heat to run the factory or warm a house, but it the industry growing too fast for the UK government to like it?

The First Flat-Pack Self-Assembly Small Biogas Plant!

It was only a matter of time before someone hit upon the idea of crowdfunding to finance the development of an anaerobic digestion plant design, and now it is happening!


Yes. This biogas unit is delivered as a self-assembly kit. It takes no more than about 2 hours to assemble, and contains a flexible membrane biogas reactor tank, plastic gas holder, feed mixer unit, and a simple gas-pressurization arrangement.


The biogas goes through a simple filter before it leaves the unit, and the fertilizer is sterilized as it leaves the unit, by using a simple chlorine tablet.


The designer seems to have thought of everything, although in cold countries we did not see any heating system to keep the reactor warm enough to produce a good biogas yield in winter in temperate climates.


Our first opinion is that this new home biogas plant is a big advance on previous small domestic anaerobic digestion plant designs. find out more at: Anaerobic Digestion News: The Latest Development in Home Sized Anaerobic Dig...

Anaerobic Digestion News: Anaerobic Digestion Companies Grow From Hundreds t...: Anaerobic digestion companies are a major growth sector within the global marketplace.






Key Types of Anaerobic Digestion Companies



There are now a number of various sorts of anaerobic digestion companies. There are anaerobic food  waste digestion expert companies which will engineer, create, and then construct a complete and fully working AD Plant (DBC Contractors). A few of those specialists will go further compared to that even operating their AD Plants in addition as DBOOT Contractors (Design, Build, Own, Operate, Transfer).



There are also specialist service providers, calling themselves AD Companies, which design and construct just part of a biogas plant, such as the warmth exchangers, and/or CHP tools.



Within the industry of Design as well as Build Contractors in the industrialized nations these businesses are normally, as a general rule, expert firms in one, or more of the following anaerobic digestion plant customer areas: Read the full article here.

Boom in Anaerobic Digestion Scotland as Food Waste Falls



New figures were published last week by the Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association which show that Scotland's anaerobic digestion industry has grown by more than two thirds over the past year. Yes! The Scottish anaerobic digestion industry has grow by nearly seventy per cent in a year.

That is an amazing statistic and is probably a reason for the UK Goverment to have decided that maybe this industry no longer needs any taxpayer renewable energy subsidies.

Anaerobic Digestion News: 5 Undeniable Advantages of Anaerobic Digestion the...


Anaerobic Digestion News: 5 Undeniable Advantages of Anaerobic Digestion the...: The UK anaerobic digestion industry has done very well in recent years, with a huge growth in the number of AD Plants. But new UK government cut-backs in the longstanding support mechanisms for AD projects appear to be just the beginning.



Why is the UK government apparently set on abandoning AD, when it is a success story about an industry which deserves support far more than many others in the energy sector?



All we can think is that the UK government is cutting back on support for the industry, because it's not aware of the many compelling reasons why AD should be gaining more, not less, government support.


The advantages of anaerobic digestion are real, and substantial, and yet these benefits seldom, if ever, get the exposure they deserve.

Everyone who knows about AD should be reading these 5 benefits and shouting about them from the rooftops, and if you don't know about this we also recommend you follow this link (click on the header above) and read the article..

Major Energy Savings for Fully Mixed Anaerobic Digestion Plant Operators Confirmed by University Study

PRESS RELEASE:

University Study reveals more methane and major energy savings for AD operators with Landia’s GasMix digester mixing system

The University of Aarhus has revealed important findings from an extensive study into the performance of Landia’s externally-mounted GasMix system, showing that it increases methane production by almost 11% in a digester treating agricultural residues.


The study also showed that viscosity was decreased by more than 31% when Landia’s GasMix was used in a heat exchange tank treating agricultural residues prior to anaerobic digestion.

This greatly reduced viscosity input from the heat exchange tank allowed for a 12.5% reduction in downstream reactor mixing times, equivalent to a saving of 210 kWh per day in electrical consumption.

Conducted partly at the Madsen Bioenergi plant in Skive, which every day treats approximately 285 tonnes of cattle/pig slurry, deep litter manure and maize silage, the Study also looked at the LBT Agro biogas plant near Hjørring – as well as the Energi Viborg Spildevand A/S wastewater treatment plant near Viborg (all three plants are in Jutland, Denmark).

Steen Buhl Larsen, Landia’s Managing Director, commented:
“Our GasMix customers have repeatedly informed us of significant increases in their site’s gas yields – and now we have a detailed Study – painstakingly compiled over several months - to show just that” 
He added:
“AD operators have a golden opportunity to produce more gas, yet at the same time, dramatically reduce their energy consumption. These factors are in addition to the fact that because everything is outside the tank, GasMix is much easier to service, with no downtime”. 
Using a unique combination of gas and hydraulic mixing principles to provide efficient mixing of tanks, Landia’s GasMix is already installed at numerous AD plants worldwide, including the UK, Denmark, Germany, China and the U S, where it is also proving to be ultra-reliable. Established in 1933, Landia designed GasMix with the chopper pump (it invented in 1950).

External knife blades reduce particle sizes in a conventional hydraulic mixing method, whereby material is drawn from the bottom of the tank by a centrifugal pump. In this hydraulic mixing mode, the material is pumped back into the tank base through the jet nozzle, a tube that is narrower than that on the upstream side of the pump.

This ensures that the material enters the tank at high velocity, causing a vigorous mixing of the tank contents, including heavy material such as stones that typically tend to accumulate at the bottom of these tank designs. Landia’s GasMix also operates in a second mode of mixing. Here, the centrifugal pump output is diverted upwards to an injection nozzle located in the wall of the tank. Before the slurry from the centrifugal pump enters the nozzle, a pipe from the gas headspace in the top of the tank is connected at a right angle to the slurry pipe.


This allows headspace gas, in particular biogas when the tank is used as a digestion tank, to be drawn into the slurry stream by the venturi principle.

 *The Study was undertaken by Alastair James Ward, Adjunkt, Institute for Ingeniørvidenskab, Aarhus University, Denmark.
