BeSocial Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I am looking into getting a Anaerobic Digester for our distillery for our mash waste. Does anyone have any experience with these machines and could you point me in the direction of a contact to talk to about getting one. Thank you!

navenjohnson Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Saw this colorful video on a DIY bio-digestion system a few years ago. The science behind it beginning at 9:45 is particularly helpful and interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curators Reserve Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Google - Solar Cites - 3 x IBC Biogas Digestor.. Youtube videos, 3D drawings, Instructional videos. Plenty HDPE/ roto-moulded biogas digestor concepts out & about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't Maker's Mark have a big cesspool they use for methane generation for their boilers? I didn't actually see it but they spoke of it a few years ago on their tour. I haven't been back since so idk if it's still a thing. Regardless, several craft to large breweries (probably close to all?) use secondary fermentation to reduce biological oxygen demand (BOD). A methane digestor just collects and compresses it at the lowest level but if you are large enough (bigger than DIY) you'll need to scrub (purify) the gasses. Note that I have never built one but have talked with several companies and researches on it so I'm just regurgitating info here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarthAngel Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 All you need for a scrubber is steel wool canister to put into the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
