New biogas information pack

Due to the increasing interest in on-farm biogas production, Staffordshire-based EnviTec Biogas UK Ltd has produced a new information pack as a first step for farmers wishing to investigate this process further.

It contains a general description of the principles of anaerobic digestion process and its benefits to the environment.

A comprehensive booklet provides detailed information on the contribution biogas production can make towards renewable energy production together with four examples of on-farm plants, ranging from family farms to large-scale energy suppliers.

It also presents facts on EnviTec’s parent company EnviTec Biogas AG — which recently completed the largest biogas production plant in the world, capable of producing 20 megawatts. A useful glossary of terms is included.

In addition, technical facts, a schematic setup for a biogas facility, and details of the services provided by EnviTec are provided.

The new pack is available, free-of-charge, from EnviTec Biogas UK Ltd by ringing 01889 584459 or emailing john.day@armbuildings.co.uk.

Note to Editors: EnviTec Biogas UK Ltd, a joint-venture company between ARM Buildings Ltd and EnviTec Biogas AG was formed in 2007. EnviTec AG, Germany’s leading biogas company, is represented in more than 14 countries throughout Europe.
