Increasing profits from a poor performing existing portfolio
There are many troubled assets in the UK that are suffering poor legacy build decisions, technical problems, excessive costs, poor management, and lack of feedstock. If you are invested in one of these facilities you will be less than satisfied with its returns.
We can offer fresh, experienced eyes to investigate the roots of where your problems lie and put a plan together to resolve them.
Optimising plants and increasing their returns is what we do best.
Increasing biogas yields
Biological efficiency and stability are key to ensuring the best biogas yield per input tonne. We have a proven blueprint for understanding and improving an individual plant’s biology.
We’ve had great success and produced lasting results for plants suffering in this area. Read more on our services related to this here.
Feedstock analysis, optimisation & sourcing
We have an in-depth knowledge of all energy crops, from growing, clamping, harvesting, and feeding. We have extensive knowledge of the waste industry and have a comprehensive database on every waste source available.
This allows us to efficiently correct feeding rates, asses expected gas yield, and remove gas inhibiting feedstocks that are detrimental to plant outputs.
