One of the challenges that agriculture and  food industry face is in handling wastes. When it comes to disposing of these waste, it turns out to be a big burden. If so take a look at Microgy which can be your solution provider. Microgy is an operator of renewable energy facilities. Methane rich biogas is extracted from animal and food industry waste, using the advanced anerobic digestion technology. The energy generated by this means is very cost effective added to it more importantly Clean and green.

How is Microgy able to generate more biogas than other digestion methods?

The technology that Microgy is using has been successful in 20 locations across Europe for the past 15 years. Microgy holds the exclusive license for the use of anaerobic digestion technology in North America. Microgy’s system uses sophisticated technology to monitor and control various activities. More over this system uses steel tanks which can last longer and uses Thermophilic temperature range, which results in faster and more complete digestion, more energy, better by-product material. Where as in a conventional system one might use concrete tanks and mesophilic temperature range which is a slower process resulting in less gas and less complete digestion. Thus microgy claims that its system is a continous system which would not have any variation in production, which may be the case with the conventional system.

How does Anaerobic digestion work?

Anaerobic digestion is a biochemical process in which microbes break down organic material in an environment devoid of oxygen. Within a digestion tank, wastes decompose over time into a variety of products, including biogas rich in methane (i.e., natural gas).

How is it useful?

This renewable-source gas can then be used for numerous applications, including the direct sale of biogas or pipeline-grade methane, for thermal energy or for the generation of electricity. Other by-products from the digestion process, including fertilizer, bedding and mulches, can be sold into their respective local markets.
