We at Alps Ecoscience are pleased to announce the launch of our newest innovation: the Biogas Yield Optimisation Model. Developed by our leading Anaerobic Digestion Engineer expert, Dr. Helen Theaker, this unique tool is set to benefit the biogas industry by providing unparalleled insights into increasing yield potential.

Biogas production holds immense promise as a renewable energy source, but maximising its efficiency and output has long been a challenge. With the Biogas Yield Optimisation Model, we aim to address this challenge head-on, helping our clients to unlock the full potential of their biogas operations. Identifying incremental process improvements as well as those requiring hardware investment.

So, what exactly does this optimisation model offer?

1. Determining Yield Increases:

Dr. Theaker’s model utilises advanced modelling and comprehensive data analysis to predict potential increases in biogas yield. By inputting various parameters such as feedstock composition, treatment protocols, and the use of additives, clients can gain valuable insights into how to optimise their processes for maximum output.

2. Financial Impact Assessment:

Understanding the financial implications of operational changes is crucial for decision-making. Our optimisation model goes beyond simply predicting yield increases; it also enables clients to assess the financial impact of implementing different strategies. Whether it’s adjusting feedstock recipes, optimising treatment protocols, or investing in infrastructure changes such as adding new digesters or ammonia strippers, our model provides invaluable insights into the cost-effectiveness of these measures.

3. Tailored Recommendations:

Every biogas operation is unique, and what works for one facility may not necessarily be optimal for another. That’s why our optimisation model provides tailored recommendations based on each client’s specific circumstances and goals. Whether the aim is to increase overall biogas production, improve process efficiency, reduce feedstock loading whilst maintaining yield or to identify the optimal combination to enhance profitability, Dr. Theaker’s model offers customised scenarios tailored to meet individual needs.

4. Infrastructure Planning:

In addition to evaluating operational parameters, our optimisation model also considers infrastructure changes that can impact biogas yield. Whether it’s new digesters, adding a hydrolysis stage, or incorporating ammonia strippers to enable a greater ratio of chicken litter, our model provides insights into how such investments can enhance overall performance. And how quickly the investment repays.

At Alps Ecoscience, we continue to “move forward through science”, and the launch of our Biogas Yield Optimisation Model is a testament to that commitment to data driven decision making. Helping clients with advanced tools and insights, to become ultra-efficient, profitable, subsidy free sources of sustainable green energy.
