On Site Anaerobic Digestion
Onsite anaerobic digestion is primarily installed on farms or in food production businesses which create sufficient waste to keep the plant fed and to benefit from its outputs. On site anaerobic digestion eliminates the cost of waste disposal. Utilising available waste product can help to keep heat and energy bills down while protecting the business from external energy price increases. Excess energy can also be sold back to the grid to generate funds.
In addition to the energy benefits of onsite anaerobic digestion there is also the benefit of creating a biofertilizer which can be spread on the land without any further treatment. This cuts down on the cost of chemical fertilizers, has better green credentials and also cuts out transport costs.
