As the Government pushes for more take up of Anaerobic Digesters to help achieve its 2020 carbon reduction targets, AD and biogas plant operators can ensure their own systems perform to maximum capacity with the help of OMEX.
Licensed operators are increasingly treating waste such as slurries and vegetable off-cuts through AD for the production of both biological fertilisers and constantly generated renewable energy in the form of biogas, which can either be used on-site to reduce reliance on costly fossil fuels or sold as electricity under Government incentive initiatives like the Feed-In Tariff scheme.
It is rare for an AD plant to have the complete range of nutritional elements present for optimal bacterial growth and shortages of specific micronutrients, which are critical components of enzyme systems in the bacteria, often occur. This can mean that the digester plant and connected system do not run at full efficiency with a consequential loss of performance and output.
OMEX offer a complete nutritional package to prevent these deficiencies with their product range including bioavailable liquid trace element solutions, enzymes, micronutrient blends to boost the availability of essential trace elements and a range of iron powders all used in the anaerobic process to help improve the bacterial performance in the digestate and increase the methane content of biogas production. This helps commercial operators to run their Plants at optimum levels, maximising their revenue streams and return on investment through increased profits.
The OMEX support service includes a nutrient profiling service in their fully-equipped laboratory with analysis of plant influent, effluent and biomass, through which a nutrient solution will be recommended. Dependent on the individual requirements of the plant and operations, a tailor made micronutrient solution can be produced. This support service also includes onsite visits, consistent and effective aftercare and complete crop nutrition packages for on-farm ADs.
As well as specialising in trace element additives, OMEX Environmental Ltd also manufacture and supply a complete range of wastewater treatment solutions for anaerobic and aerobic systems as well as de-icers and concrete ad-mixtures.
