Anaerobic Digestion
Anaerobic Digestion is a natural biological process that can be used to generate renewable energy and manage waste.
Agriculture generates significant volumes of organic products, such as animal manures and energy crop residues etc. Anaerobic Digestion provides an option to recover values from these organic products and reduces the overall carbon footprint of the farming enterprise.
The process takes place in an oxygen-free chamber, where micro-organisms convert organic material such as food waste, slurries and energy crop residues into:
-
Biogas: a renewable fuel
-
Digestate: a powerful fertiliser or soil conditioner
Biogas
Biogas is a mixture of biomethane gas and carbon dioxide. The biogas can be used directly in CHP engines to produce renewable heat and power, or it can be burned to produce heat only.
Biomethane
Biomethane can be produced by removing the carbon dioxide from the biogas. The biomethane has many valuable uses. It can be injected into the gas grid as a renewable replacement for natural gas or it can be used as vehicle fuel.
Digestate
The by-product from the AD process is called ‘digestate’. It is rich in valuable plant nutrients such as nitrogen phosphate potassium and minor nutrients and can be used as a renewable fertiliser or soil conditioner.
Integrated Pollution Prevention
and Control Directive (IPPC)
Waste management licence WML
Application to register an exempt activity WEL
We prepare IPPC applications for the intensive Agricultural sector Pigs & Poultry.
For further information on an IPPC Application:
Call us on: +44 (0) 7714 307 411 or email us: info@agrihand.com
The aim of the IPPC Directive is to prevent, reduce and eliminate pollution by prioritising efforts on the most significant industrial and agricultural activities.
It also focuses on the prudent use of natural resources.
IPPC manages the activities of significant sites, called “installations” by regulating:
-
Raw material and energy use
-
How the site operates and the technology used
-
Emissions into air, water and land
-
How any waste produced is managed
-
Accident prevention
-
Odour management
-
Noise management
-
Nutrient Management Plan
-
Waste management licence WML
The activities at an installation are expected to be operated using
“Best Available Techniques” under a permit.
