GP Biotec has been in operation for approximately 8 years and altogether processed about a quarter of a million tonnes of waste, which is a significant amount of waste diverted from landfills and other waste disposable sites.

A few months ago, two new digester tanks were commissioned for the primary digestion of waste before being fed into the secondary digester tank. The two-stage digestion process means the entrapment of biogas is optimised meaning, a lot more of the biogas is sent to be processed by the Combined Heat and Power engines (CHP).

The introduction of the new tanks will also allow for maintenance works to be carried out on the old tanks and once maintenance works are completed, a total of 4 tanks will be in full operation for the digestion of biological waste at GP Biotec. The introduction of the tanks has been carried out by Experts in the industry with the adoption of best available techniques.

As people look to do their bit for the environments, there has been an increase in consumer demand for cleaner energy and it is exciting that GP Biotec can expand its capacity to meet some of these demands.

GP Biotec plays a tremendous role in tackling environmental problems by producing biogas from biodegradable waste. Understandably, renewable energy can make a global impact in the efforts to tackle climate change and reach net Zero, hence the importance of renewable energy locally should not be overlooked.

The UK Government has recently announced its investment plans for going green on larger scale with investment into wind energy. Among the government’s priorities are a new focus on hydrogen- fueled trucks, trains, and aircraft, retrofitting homes and more money to be spent on carbon capture and storage technology with long term goals to include the use of hydrogen as a source of power.

According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), in 2018, the United Kingdom produced a total of 32,870.111 GWh of electricity from biogas produced from the treatment of biodegradable waste which puts the UK in 5th place closely behind Germany based on world ranking.

To make the UK first in green energy supply and maintain this ranking, use of all resources including anaerobic digestion of biodegradable waste would be required. The contributions of GP Biotec hence go a long way; for real change happens when we all get our hands dirty for a good cause

Despite the dry weather that we’ve encountered throughout the last 2 months our crop growth has been very good again this year allowing us to fill the silage pit. Its a busy time of year with all hands to the pump.

In brief: Anaerobic digestion is the process by which organic material is broken down by micro-organisms in the absence of oxygen to produce methane, carbon dioxide and water.

We’ve just updated our Anaerobic section of our website. Take a look in more detail here.
