In the modern day, organisations across a full spectrum of sectors are looking for ways to curb energy costs wherever possible. Water companies, for example, spend an average of £1 million per year on electricity – one of their most significant overheads. There are several ways in which a proportion of this expenditure can be offset, with anaerobic digestion becoming increasingly common.
By breaking down biodegradable material in the absence of oxygen, sludge waste can be heated before the resultant biogas is converted into electricity. In recent years, one of the country’s leading water contractors began adopting this process but when a high capacity boiler broke down on their site, a replacement was required immediately.
