From Feedstock to Biogas: Why Temperature Control Defines the Outcome

Temperature control defines biogas performance Across the biogas industry, underperformance is often attributed to feedstock variability, loading rates, or microbial health. These factors matter but they are not the primary determinant of outcome. Temperature is. More precisely, the ability to control temperature—accurately, consistently, and responsively—is what defines whether feedstock is efficiently converted into stable biogas, […]

Why Do Heat Exchangers Fail?

Understanding why a heat exchanger has failed is critical when it comes to rectifying the problem and avoiding the failure from reoccurring. Heat Exchangers will failure for a number of reasons and are almost always a result of operational, material or environmental factors. The most common causes of heat exchanger failure include: Corrosion Can be caused by […]

Which Heat Exchanger Is the Most Efficient?

Heat exchangers are designed with the purpose of transferring heat between two fluids without the fluids coming in contact. There are many different types and configurations of heat exchangers, the most common being, tube in tube, shell & tube and plate & frame. Each type of heat exchanger comes with its advantages and disadvantages with […]
