Frequently Asked Questions
What is an anaerobic digester?
An anaerobic digester is an airtight constructed system that allows microorganisms and bacteria to break down sewage, manure, crop residues, and other organic was in the absence of oxygen. This biological process produces usable products like biogas and digested material (digestate) that is nutrient-rich and a better fertilizer compared to raw manure or other organic waste.
How does an anaerobic digester work?
The process, referred to as anaerobic digestion, is relatively simple.
Organic was such as animal manure, food waste, or other biodegradable materials, is fed into the on-farm digester to start.
Once in the digester, bacteria breaks down the organic materials and generates biogas (methane). The methane gas is then captured and can be used as fuel, making it a great renewable energy source.
You can apply the remaining material to your fields. It makes for a nutrient-rich fertilizer and minimizes the need for synthetic alternatives.
What are the benefits of having an anaerobic digester on my farm?
An anerobic digester is a sustainable agricultural tool that helps you address waste management, energy production, soil health, and minimizes environmental impacts associated with operations.
There are several benefits to have anerobic digestion taking place on your farm, including:
-
Nutrient recycling (digestate is more nutrient-rich than raw manure or organic waste)
-
Odor reduction
-
Disease reduction
-
Energy generation
-
Carbon credits
-
Additional cost savings and revenue
