Biosafety Hazards: Lowering Exposure to Mist, Steam, Aerosols, and Foam!
Should you be wearing a hazmat suit to enter a digester facility? Mostly likely, the answer is no. While organic waste and wastewater personnel may have more exposure to pathogens, proper safety training, operating procedures, and PPE greatly lower your risk of falling ill.
This article looks at biosafety at digester sites and shares strategies for keeping operators safe from mist, steam, aerosols and foam.

Roadmap to High Fat Digester Operations
High fat feedstocks can help produce more biogas, but is your digester ready for this type of performance? High fat digestion operation is simple, but it isn’t easy. Read this article to learn if your digester is ready to accept more high fat feedstocks.
Event Recap – Value of Biogas East 2026
Azura’s Team Plaid had a fantastic time at the Value of Biogas East Conference hosted by the Canadian Biogas Association (CBA). Bringing together renewable energy professionals from Canada, the United States, and around the world the event took place in Toronto, Ontario on March 30 through April 1, 2026.
Is Your Digester Smaller Than You Think?
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.
Effective Grit Management in Anaerobic Digester Systems Starts with Testing
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.

Event Recap – Value of Biogas West 2025
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.
More Than a Mess – Why Digester Foam Poses Both Physical and Biosafety Hazards
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.

From Trash To Treasure: Maximizing Renewable Fuel with Codigestion
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.
