Siloxanes in consumer products affect energy recovery costs at biogas-to-energy facilities
Volatile methyl siloxanes (VMS) are man-made compounds containing silicon and oxygen with organic side groups (typically methyl groups) attached to the silicon atoms. Siloxanes can have linear (denoted by L or M nomenclature) and cyclic (denoted by
Non-traditional cup-plant crop as a prospective substitute for maize at biogas production
Biogas is a renewable fuel produced from the decomposition of organic materials at anaerobic digestion in special units known as biogas plants. The application of biogas is oriented to heat or electricity generation using the combustion process.
How engineered nanoparticles are affecting the treatment of wastewater
In recent years, engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) have been incorporated into a variety of consumer products such as technology, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and clothing to name but a few. ENPs can be defined as intentionally created particles sized 1-100
From waste dumping to clean energy: using our landfills for renewable energy
It is widely acknowledged that dumping our waste in landfills is extremely harmful to the environment. Landfills pollute our groundwater, our soils and release biogas (methane and carbon dioxide) into the atmosphere, which contributes greatly to global
How sustainable is British biogas?
Biogas is a renewable fuel produced from the controlled decomposition of organic material in the absence of oxygen (“anaerobic digestion”). Biogas contains 50-60% methane, and can be combusted to generate heat and electricity, or cleaned of impurities
