Anaerobic digestion of dairy by-products
The dairy industry is uniquely placed to profit from the ‘waste to energy’ sector. Advances in technology mean that sites where substantial volumes of washdown, effluent and other unwanted by-products occur now have the potential for a dedicated anaerobic digestion plant to create energy – and money – from what would otherwise be waste.
Even smaller sites can sustain such an approach. By-products which are currently sold (e.g. for animal feeds) may be more valuable if converted to energy, sites can import feedstock from nearby dairies, and in some cases existing effluent treatment tanks can be converted to anaerobic digestion facilities.
InSource Energy offers a confidential, initial feasibility study for free on a no commitment basis. We are happy to work with you and discuss the benefits of our business model as a way to generate substantial savings.
We understand the complex set of challenges in the cost-effective and sustainable disposal of waste and treatment of by-products. InSource Energy can provide the dairy industry with the following benefits:
- Fixed, discounted waste and effluent disposal
- Dramatic reductions in effluent COD
- Discounted power and heat
- Renewable heat and power; reduced vehicle movements; lower carbon emissions
- No cost commitments for the host; no distraction from core business activity
- Small footprint solutions, or conversion of existing effluent treatment plant
