Anaerobic digestion (AD) is the process by which organic matter, such as animal and food waste, is broken down to produce biogas. This happens in a sealed, oxygen鈥恌ree tank called an anaerobic digester. Balmoral Tanks produces what is believed to be the most comprehensive range of tank products from a single source. Balmoral Tanks鈥� projects include some of the largest digesters for multi-tank AD plants. Recently, it supplied two 11,500m3聽tanks鈥攁mong the biggest in the world鈥攆or a major AD project in Michigan. Each digester tank should generate two megawatts of power鈥攅nough to power millions of U.S. homes for a month.
