Biogas
Vidyan has commercialised a novel anaerobic digestion technology which significantly improves biogas yields while being independent of the source of the organic feedstock. The process also eliminates foul smells and secondary effluents.
Anaerobic digestion...
is a multistep biological and chemical process wherein microorganisms, in the absence of oxygen degrade organic matter to generate biogas. Biogas, a renewable natural gas substitute is composed primarily of methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide and trace organics. It is extensively used in rural economies as a source of domestic energy.
Current technologies...
for biogas production are inefficient and face problems arising from extended digestion times. Longer retention times result in larger bioreactor volumes and lower biogas yields. Inefficiency of current technologies result in high capital and operating costs, reducing overall viability.
Challenges...
associated with current technologies, range from incompletely digested substrates which cause foul smells, require additional treatment of secondary affluent and sludge handling. This has driven the need for improved technologies that have shorter turn-around times, while also improving financial viability.
Our Solution
Affiliates of Vidyan have developed a one-of-a-kind anaerobic digestion technology, with the highest known carbon-to-carbon conversion rate. This results in low residence times, low capital/operating costs, eliminates any foul smells and generates higher yields of biogas.
