Anaerobic Digestion Plant
Digestate Outlet Security
MIDLANDS
OVERVIEW
Anaerobic digestion plants produce renewable energy and digestate as a by-product. For this plant,
ensuring consistent and compliant outlets for 90,000m3 of digestate was critical to operations. Without
reliable removal, the site risked storage issues, compliance breaches, and operational downtime.
THE CHALLENGE
- Large volumes of digestate required year-round removal.
- Limited existing landbank close to the facility.
- Risk of bottlenecks during peak spreading seasons.
- Strict NVZ, COGAP and Environment Agency regulations to comply with.
THE OUTCOMES
- 100% of the digestate went to land, and adequate storage was supplied for the closed season.
- Zero downtime at the AD facility due to guaranteed removal capacity.
- Full compliance with NVZ & COGAP regulations and Environment Agency requirements.
- Improved farmer relationships through regular feedback, meetings and keeping our commitments to them.
