Research services.
Expertise for your next anaerobic digestion study.
We combine our expertise in anaerobic digestion with Anaero instruments and carefully defined methodologies to support accurate, precise and repeatable measurements. Each study is designed around your research question, with practical guidance to help you interpret the results.
How can we help?
Focused studies and practical advice, built around your research question.
Feedstock assessment
Assess methane potential and investigate the risks your feedstocks may present to anaerobic digestion.
Process performance
Evaluate an operational setup with a lab-scale experiment designed around your process.
Additive studies
Investigate the effects of additives, from methanogenic activity to ammonia control.
Chemical analysis
Complement your study with chemical analyses carried out in collaboration with third-party laboratories.
Consultation
Discuss your research with our team, including advice without a laboratory study.
Questions we’ve
put to the test.
- Novel additives and methanogenic activity
- Commercial additives for ammonia control
- Hydrolysis pre-treatment of polylactic waste
- Co-digestion for hydrogen sulfide control and system stability
Build your team’s
