SUMMARY:ADBA Training | Temperatures and Biology with Angela Cronje | Wednesday 29 July 2026 | 09:30-13:30
DESCRIPTION:  \nThis training is about the effect of increasing temperatures on biological health and gas production. In the UK\, AD plants are typically built with lots of insulation to keep substrate warm even in cold winter temperatures but this can contribute to increasing tank temperatures and biological risks in the hotter summer months. Operators will gain a better understanding of how temperatures can start to rise\, what this means for biological health and gas production and what control measures should be considered to mitigate the risk of serious biological failures. The training is delivered by Angela Cronjé\, a chemical engineer with 15 years experience in organic waste processing on operational plants. \n  \nAgenda \n\nWelcome and introductions\nHeatwaves and AD\n\nHow does a digester over-heat?\nCase studies\nImportance of data collection and interpretation\n\n\nRising temperatures and biology\n\nWhat are the ‘normal’ operating temps and why?\nThe effect of increasing temperatures on digester biology\nThe effect on gas production and composition\nCase studies\n\n\n\n\nDigester temperature and ammonia\n\nThe risks of a high ammonia diet\nAmmonia chemistry and inhibition\nThe effect of increased temperature on digester ammonia\nCase Studies\n\n\n\n\nControl measures\n\nPlant design\nTank cooling circuits and external chilling options\nDiet planning\nFailed biology recovery\n\n\nQ+A/ open discussion\n\nPlease note\, tickets are non-refundable. \nADBA is the UK Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association. \nTHIS EVENT IS DELIVERED ONLINE. The agenda will include regular\, short comfort breaks. \nFor other questions\, contact Cheryl Murdoch\, Senior Events Manager at ADBA\, at cheryl.murdoch@adbioresources.org

SUMMARY:WBA Training | Temperatures and Biology with Angela Cronje | Wednesday 3 June 2026 | 11:00-15:00 BST
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThe training is delivered by Angela Cronjé\, a chemical engineer with 20 years experience in organic waste processing on operational plants.  \nThis training is about the effect of temperature variation on biological health and gas production for AD. AD plants are typically built with lots of insulation to keep substrate warm even in cold winter temperatures\, but this can contribute to increasing tank temperatures and biological risks in the hotter summer months. Gas production can also suffer when process temperatures drop due to low ambient temperatures or failures in heating systems. Operators will gain a better understanding of how process temperatures vary\, what this means for biological health and gas production and what control measures should be considered to mitigate the risk of serious biological failures.   \n  \n\n\n \n  \nAgenda \n\nWelcome and introductions\nHeatwaves and AD\n\nHow does a digester over-heat?\nCase studies\nImportance of data collection and interpretation\n\n\nRising temperatures and biology\n\nWhat are the ‘normal’ operating temps and why?\nThe effect of increasing temperatures on digester biology\nThe effect on gas production and composition\nCase studies\n\n\n\n\nDigester temperature and ammonia\n\nThe risks of a high ammonia diet\nAmmonia chemistry and inhibition\nThe effect of increased temperature on digester ammonia\nCase Studies\n\n\n\n\nControl measures\n\nPlant design\nTank cooling circuits and external chilling options\nDiet planning\nFailed biology recovery\n\n\nQ+A/ open discussion\n\n\nThe World Biogas Association is the global trade association for the biogas\, landfill gas and anaerobic digestion (AD) sectors\, dedicated to facilitating the adoption of biogas globally. We believe that the global adoption of biogas technologies is a multi-faceted opportunity to produce clean\, renewable energy while resolving global issues related to development\, public health and economic growth. We seek to represent all organisations working in the biogas industry at the international level across the world\, including; national associations\, biogas operators and developers\, equipment providers\, water companies\, the agricultural sector\, waste companies\, and academic & research institutions.

SUMMARY:WBA Training | Health and Safety Awareness in AD with Amaya Arias Garcia | Wednesday 6 May 2026 | 09:00-17:00
DESCRIPTION:This one-day online training provides a practical introduction to health and safety in anaerobic digestion and biogas projects for a global audience. It focuses on understanding where hazards can arise across the project lifecycle and how risks can be reduced through good design\, structured risk thinking\, and effective operational practices.  \nThe course avoids country-specific legislation and instead emphasises universal safety principles\, engineering logic\, and practical decision-making. Participants are introduced to risk-thinking tools ranging from simple “what if?” approaches to formal methodologies such as HAZOP\, illustrated with real-world examples from biogas projects in different contexts.  \nBy the end of the course\, participants will be better equipped to recognise hazards\, think systematically about risk\, and support safer design\, construction\, commissioning\, and operation of biogas facilities.  \n09:00 – 09:20\nWelcome\, objectives and course structure (20 min)\nFocus \n\nWelcome and introductions\nPurpose and scope of the training\nWhat
