The Anaerobic Digestion Process
A quick guide to anaerobic digestion
- Mix animal slurry with other organic matter (e.g. food waste or crops)
- Put the mix into a sealed tank with agitation and heat to around 38°C
- The bacteria present break down the organic parts releasing bio-gas (about 60% methane and 40% carbon dioxide)
- The gas is used to generate heat and renewable electricity by fuelling a generator
- The resulting “soup” (digestate) is used as a bio-fertiliser with its nutrients in a readily available state
