Anaerobic digestion for flush systems
Instead of settling for antiquated covered lagoon digesters or shelling out big bucks for a complicated thickening system, Biogas Energy brings inexpensive, effective technology to flush dairy digesters. No need to convert to scrape, no need to install hundreds of thousands of dollars in complex thickening systems. Biogas Energy's proprietary pre-digestion preparation systems can be integrated into any flush dairy to effectively prepare the manure for biogas production.

How Biogas Energy digesters help the dairy
Biogas Energy digester technology was first implemented for dairies and pig farms to get more value out of their manure. Through the anaerobic digestion process, volatile organic compounds are reduced, thereby reducing odors in the manure and lagoon. Nutrients are mineralized to make them easier for plant uptake. But most of all, the digesters extract the most biogas from the manure, and that means the most electricity too. Typically more power is produced than can be used on site, so surplus is wheeled to the local utility who pays the farmer for the electricity.
The benefits of Biogas Energy digesters for dairies:
  • Maximize biogas production from manure
  • Add additional substrate like silage, feed overages, grease, glycerine, and more to increase gas production
  • Produce highest quality compost, bedding and peat moss replacement product
  • Cut lagoon maintenance & manure management costs
  • Eliminate air emissions issues
  • Eliminate water quality issues
Biogas Energy digesters are 30-100% more efficient than other digesters in producing energy from manure. That fact, coupled with the ability to take a variety of waste input means Biogas Energy facilities generate far superior revenue over time.

Ease of operations for busy dairymen
Farmers don't have the time or resources to manage complex digester technologies, so we made sure ours is simple to run, reliable, and low maintenance. All processes are monitored and controlled via computer from anywhere in the world, and automated alerts and notifications make monitoring a breeze. Biogas Energy digesters are designed for the minimal human interaction possible. But when issues do arise, access to the tank is as simple as folding back the flexible roof: no concrete roof or cumbersome covered lagoon to mess with. Biogas Energy takes pride in our ability to tailor-fit our digester systems into the particular dairy's existing operations without forcing the dairyman to change his normal operations.
An anaerobic digester should be simple to operate, reliable, and flexible to fit any situation. That's Biogas Energy.
