Food Processing
Use Waste to Power your Process
Large to medium food processors often produce enough waste to power their own process and more. This includes many industries such as potato processing, sugar, and abattoirs.
Other Wastes by Industry
Sugar Industry
Bagasse the residue from sugar cane is typically dried and burned to produce the heat and electricity required for the sugar process. Excess bagasse is often sold as animal feed. Whilst not necessarily good to anaerobically digest by itself bagasse could be used in co-digestion with food waste of manure to increase RNG yield.
Potato Industry
Potato peels from fries production can be often discarded as a headache but the remaining starch and fibre can be utilised to produce energy for the process using anaerobic digestion.
Olive Oil Industry
Phenols in olive wastewater can be an issue due to their anti-microbial nature, this means they make them difficult to treat.
