Anaerobic Digestion Plant
GP Biotec operates an on-farm anaerobic digestion (AD) plant, processing waste from a variety of sources, but predominantly a mixture biodegradable waste from abattoirs, food processing plants, as well as farm energy crops (grown by the Sites affiliated farm business), converting them into biogas and digestate (biofertiliser).
WHAT IS AD?
Creating Electricity & Heat
The biogas is converted into electricity and heat. A proportion of the heat is used to heat the parts of the plant which require it and to heat Site offices and other buildings. The electricity produced is metered into the National Grid and sold to a renewable energy supplier.
The digestate is spread onto farmland owned and/or managed by GP Biotec’s affiliated company GP Services (a farm business and haulage company).
GP Biotec aim to achieve and maintain the highest level of service provision and product quality.
