SUMMARY:ADBA Training | Plant Optimisation | 2 May 2024
DESCRIPTION:Back by popular demand! The Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association (ADBA) is putting on this training session on “AD Plant Optimisation” so you minimise problems\, improve process performance and ultimately get the best from your AD plant. \nCourse objectives \nThis 1-day course will improve your knowledge of the AD process so you can increase output and process stability. The course also develops staff competency in criteria 3 and 4 of the AD Certification Scheme. \nTime\n9:30am to 4:30pm on Thursday 2 May 2024 \nLocation \n \nOnline on Zoom \n  \nCourse content \n\n\nThis course addresses the biological processes at the heart of AD: how to monitor activity\, recognise trends\, understand the operations; how to influence the biology to resolve issues and optimise output. The day starts with an overview of optimisation and a comparison with maximisation. It goes on to consider a range of factors affecting the biology of AD and how to ensure a healthy plant – with appropriate real-life examples from plants across the UK. Find out about the most common issues affecting performance\, such as foaming and gritting\, as well as a range of other factors that can impact efficiency and ultimately profit. \nThemes: \n– Introduction to AD and the biology basics\n– Monitoring biological health and efficiency\n– AD process metrics and performance indicators\n– Troubleshooting instability\n– AD plant design for process stability – an overview \n\n\nThe course covers both mechanical and biological processes\, with ample opportunity for delegates to ask questions and discuss their particular plant issues. Breaks included. \nCourse is intended for \n\nThe course is vital for both experienced operatives and beginners at all types of AD plants. It considers the different design parameters for plants\, including feedstock\, operating conditions\, end product quality\, size and scale and much more. Participants can network with each other during the breaks. \nADBA members get a discount\, but non-members are still encouraged to attend the course. \n\n\n\n94% of the previous AD Plant Optimisation Training said the course was what they expected. And 94% felt they furthered their knowledge. Here is more feedback from the participants: \n– “One of the best training courses that I have attended. I would absolutely recommend it”\n– “informative and enjoyable”\n– “clearly understood\, acceptable and actionable” \n\n\nTrainer \n \nDr Angela Cronje PhD\nAngela is a Chemical Engineer with over 15 years experience in the organic waste management and AD sector. \nThe Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association (ADBA) was established in 2009 to represent the UK anaerobic digestion (AD) and bioresources industry and to support the development of a safe\, high-performing industry. www.adbioresources.org \n  \nCertificate \nUpon completing this course\, earn a certificate from ADBA \n  \nQuestions about the course? \nContact Flavio Ascenco\, Technical Support Manager at ADBA\, flavio.ascenco@adbioresources.org \n  \nHow to book onto the course \nADBA’s Training on “AD Plant Optimisation” last year was so popular that it sold-out. Make sure you book onto to the course before it’s too late –  so you can optimise the output of your AD plant\, too! \nOption 1: Pay by invoice and bank transfer – contact Angela Knight\, Finance Assistant at ADBA\, at angela.knight@adbioresources.org and (+44) 020 3960 0782 \nOption 2: Pay by credit card over the phone – contact Angela Knight\, Finance Assistant at ADBA\, at angela.knight@adbioresources.org and (+44) 020 3960 0782 \nOption 3: Pay by credit card online – select your tickets below and enter your card details

SUMMARY:WBA Training | Managing Summer Temperatures and Biological Health
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nTuesday 19th December\, 12:30-17:00 GMT timezone \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\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. \n  \n  \nDiscounts available for group bookings and non-OECD countries. \n  \nFor questions and to pay by bank transfer\, contact rzlokower@worldbiogasassociation.org \nTo pay by credit card\, select your tickets below…

SUMMARY:Webinar | World Biogas Association: Outlook for Biogas and Biomethane
DESCRIPTION:How quickly can biogas grow? \nOur house is on fire. We have between now and 2030 to put it out. But time – and carbon budgets – are running out. \nOne industry that can make a big difference fast -and is therefore predicted to experience steep growth by all reputable forecasters – is that of biogas/biomethane. Everyone agrees there will be growth\, but there are differences on how much. \nIn its latest annual energy report\, the International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts the bioenergy sector will be the second-fastest growing source of energy between now and 2050 after hydrogen. The EU projects big increases\, making biogas one of the three key pillars replacing Russian gas in Europe. BP\, having purchased the world’s largest RGN provider in December 2022\, has forecast a 25-fold increase in biogas. \nBut will these predictions be met? What are the assumptions behind them? The industry could deliver an 11% reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and deliver half of the Global Methane Pledge\, signed at COP26 in Glasgow – yet we are currently tapping into just 2% of the global capacity of anaerobic digestion (AD). The potential for growth is enormous. Fully deployed\, AD could deliver 6-9% of the world’s current energy consumption\, 16-22% of its electricity consumption if used for power generation or replace 26-37% of its natural gas consumption should the resulting gas from the process be upgraded to biomethane. \nJoin the WBA alongside the IEA\, BP and the EU Commission as we discuss forecasts for the outlook of biogas and biomethane\, the challenges and uncertainties around these forecasts and what policy and regulatory mechanisms we need to fulfil the sectoral growth that is required to keep 1.5 C alive. \nThis is a must-attend webinar for policymakers\, developers\, and investors in one of the world’s most exciting renewable sectors.

SUMMARY:WBA Training | Technical Aspects for Implementing A Successful Biogas Project | 14 Sep 2023
DESCRIPTION:There are five different families of digesters\, but over 90% of biogas plants in Europe belong to just one of them. In most cases\, plants are engineered and optimised according to the constructor’s criteria\, or its proprietary technology or patents\, or the agreement it has with the suppliers of components. Such a definition of “optimum” does not mean that the final outcome is optimum for the specific context of the customer. Solutions that are “the market standard” in one country are not necessarily suitable elsewhere. Knowing to evaluate how to choose the most suitable solution for a given context is then crucial to get the highest return from the investment. \nLearn about the basics of anaerobic digestion technology and how to manage the digestion process and biogas purification in this training course. \n\n\n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda \nPart 1: Basics of Anaerobic Digestion Biology \n1.1 Understanding AD and its technical jargon: HRT\, CRT\, COD\, TS\, VS\, TOL\, OLR\, etc. \n1.2 Types of digesters\, advantages and disadvantages of each one\, depending on the substrate \n1.3 The optimum diet for the digester: measurement of the BMP (biochemical methane potential) of the feedstock BEFORE the construction \n1.4 Common mistakes in biogas plant design \nPart 2: Managing the Digestion Process and Biogas Purification \n2.1 The biological stability of the digester \n2.2 Frequent problems of the biologic process and how to prevent them \n2.3 Desulfurisation technologies: a short review of the pros and cons of each solution \n2.4 Upgrading technologies : a short review \n
