How significant are the waste disposal savings?

Anaerobic digesters can yield very significant savings. A typical Enviro Control anaerobic digester installation will generate enough usable energy, and reduced waste treatment costs, to pay for itself in three or four years. If required build, own and operate financing is offered through Tersus Plc.

What kind of businesses use anaerobic digesters?
A wide variety of businesses are benefitting from using anaerobic digestion technology. They include meat processors, animal farms, confectioners, brewers and cheese plants.

Enviro Control anaerobic digesters are able to treat high concentration wastes, making them ideally suited for heavier industrial and agricultural operations with high concentrations of solids.

How much disruption does installation cause?
Installing an Enviro Control anaerobic digester should cause very little disruption. All construction is external to your operation and takes between 6–12 months from design to completion depending on size of project. For most installations, startup is achieved within six weeks after construction.

How much maintenance is required?
Enviro Control anaerobic digesters are designed for low-maintenance operation. There are no special skills needed to operate the system.

Our systems are turnkey units that include design, construction, project management, off-site monitoring and support. Because so many of the critical functions, such as temperature control and bacterial balance, are handled by computers (using programs developed by Enviro Control to avoid problems with software) , routine maintenance is simple and not labour-intensive. The system can remain dormant in periods of business down-time without affecting future performance.
