Anaerobic digestion, RNG, and industrial wastewater treatment plants have hundreds of technology and equipment options to choose from. Equipment decisions are high-cost and hard to unwind. How do you know which is the right fit for your system, your business, and your budget? Even with experience, teams don’t always have the time or depth of expertise to: • Explore all viable options, • Address complex or uncommon technical issues, or • Confidently assume the full risk of selecting high value technology and equipment. Why work with Azura? Before you get lost in online searches, sorting through vendor marketing materials, or long conversations with AI, talk to the experts who understand how this equipment performs in real-world applications. Azura brings 35+ years of hands-on experience, delivering independent, actionable advice that will get your anaerobic digester, RNG, or industrial wastewater project off to the right start. Chapters 00:00 How do you choose the best technology for an anaerobic digester, RNG, or industrial wastewater treatment facility? 00:25 Define your project success criteria 01:18 Start by making a long list of technology options 01:41 Narrow down to a medium list of technology options 01:59 Evaluate commercial, technical, and operational risks of potential anaerobic digestion technology options 03:37 Narrow down the medium list with a live workshop 03:55 Gather quotes for the top three options 04:18 Finalizing technology and equipment selection 04:59 Deliverables from Azura’s Best Available Technology selection process When is the best time for BAT selection? This process is designed for early-to-mid project planning, when there is enough information to rule out poor-fit options but not enough to fully optimize the final selection. To avoid misalignment later, stakeholders should agree on the success criteria early, before moving into onto equipment selection. Get clear, independent, actionable advice from the experts at Azura.
