Plug and Play Solutions for a Greener Future

Are you encountering large trade waste and energy costs? Are you watching dollars literally go down the drain? Sustainable trade waste management through Anaerobic Digestion is the solution and the experts at Finn Biogas are here to help!

Managing Director Jason Hawley said, “Anaerobic Digestion technology can treat your organic trade waste & wastewater on-site to produce renewable energy that can be utilised back into your operating facility to offset electricity costs.” Not only this, but AD will “solve your waste disposal requirements – A win-win for your growing business,” Hawley said.

The overall benefits of AD:

• Save $$$ on waste disposal and energy costs,
• Reduce contaminated discharge to the land or water,
• Reduce discharge to the atmosphere (GHGs or odour),
• Recover nutrient/ compost/ fertiliser products,
• Recover and re-use of water on-site.

“We are seeing an increasing interest in the environmental advantages of AD in food and beverage industries,” Hawley said. Many businesses moving towards sustainable trade waste management include:

• Food manufacturing businesses,
• Beverage producers,
• Commercial, manufacturing, trade or industrial facilities,
• Abattoirs.

“Finn Biogas have recently designed and developed two revolutionary new biogas products to tackle the growing need for cost-effective and sustainable waste disposal,” Hawley said. “We are delighted to be bringing to market the Firefly MMAD (Micro Modular Anaerobic Digester) and The Flex20.”

The Firefly MMAD is a small-scale, ‘plug and play’ on-site waste management system specifically designed to meet the needs of commercial waste producers such as food and beverage facilities and small-scale farms. The Firefly empowers businesses to divert organic waste from landfill and generate renewable electricity + heat. With a waste throughput of 200–500 t/year, the flexible system allows for both anaerobic digestion and aerobic composting, transforming organic waste into a fertiliser substitute and compost additive.

Suitable waste streams include food scraps and kitchen waste, expired groceries, bakery and bread waste, rice, grains, eggshells, paper/cardboard, cooked meat, manure, coffee grounds, agricultural waste and food and beverage factory waste.

Overall Benefits of the Firefly MMAD:

• Empowers businesses to divert their organic waste from landfill,
• Transforms organic waste into energy,
• Produces a fertiliser substitute product,
• The combined heat & power generator has the capacity to generate electricity plus hot water for boilers,
• An integrated SCADA system control panel for automated operating and data collection.

The FLEX20 Micro AD plant is an on-site waste management system that adopts the CSTR (Continuously Stirred Tank Reactor) technology and is ideal for small food & beverage manufacturers, farming operations, dairy producers, breweries and wastewater treatment facilities. “The Flex20 is more suitable for wet slurry waste types and can take 200–500 tonnes/ year, producing 6kW continuously which is roughly enough to power 3–4 houses per day,” Hawley said. “The Flex20 is suitable for a range of waste streams including food & beverage factory waste, agricultural waste, fish waste, cooked meat, manure, effluent and biosolids.”

“Supporting bioenergy as an alternative renewable option, the FLEX20 system is a game-changer in achieving carbon neutrality and responsible waste management for Australian businesses,” Hawley said.
