Anaerobic Digestion Benefits
Many countries of the world are now actively searching for new sources of alternative energies that are both sustainable and environmentally friendly. Anaerobic Digestion is one such alternative and one of the most efficient as just about any organic and biodegradable waste product is suitable for processing.
Anaerobic Digestion
- Prevents dangerous pathogens from entering the food chain
- Produces very effective fertiliser and soil conditioner
- Kills numerous kinds of weed seeds which reduces the need for herbicides
- Reduces the amount of waste going to landfill sites
- Can lower the odours from farm slurries by up to 80%
These are just some of the main environmental benefits Anaerobic Digestion has to offer, but there are also energy-related benefits, such as;
- Production of Biogas, an eco-friendly, carbon-neutral fuel
- Reduces the need to import other sources of energy
- Biogas can be used for generating electricity, as a heating and transportation fuel
The advantages of operating an Anaerobic Digestion facility also include economic benefits which means;
- Much less time spent on moving and processing manure
- Income from waste processing such as tipping fees and sale of fertiliser
- Reduction in water consumption and increase in self sufficiency
