The most expensive part of an anaerobic digester are often the corrosion resistant tanks. Since digester volume is one of the most valuable assets of a plant because that determines how much you can feed – preserving and measuring digester volume might just be one of the most valuable methods for digester optimization.
Grit is the silent saboteur of anaerobic digestion systems. Though it often makes up less than half of 1% of a feedstock by weight, grit can cause outsized problems.

Azura’s Trisha Aldovino, Dave Ellis, Michael Nelson, and Peter Quosai had an excellent time in Alberta visiting client digester sites and attending the Value of Biogas West conference hosted by the Canadian Biogas Association.
Foam is a sticky, slippery mess that most digester operators have seen one time or another. While slip, trip, and fall risks are obvious, there are other biosafety hazards that need to be considered before rushing to clean up.

The only currently established, potentially carbon-negative fuel in the world is energy produced from waste. As we seek to reduce our carbon footprint, codigesting food waste at sewage treatment plants presents an excellent opportunity to maximize existing resources and create a more sustainable future.

Foam is a messy, sticky, and smelly problem in biodigesters. But why does foam form in an anaerobic digester in the first place?
Anaerobic digester biology is most sensitive and fragile during startup and commissioning (S&C). This article highlights 5 key considerations that are often overlooked during S&C of anaerobic digesters.
Get the inside scoop on the bugs behind the bubbles! Dave Ellis joined Matt Lensink on the CEM Energy Radio Podcast where they discussed the fascinating science behind anaerobic digestion and how this process is driving sustainable energy.
If lab testing indicates that your digestate might contain too much ammonia, what can you do? There a number of steps to reduce problematic gasses in an anaerobic digester.
