[QUOTE="MickMoor, post: 862906, member: 899"] I'm happy to be corrected. I did say, "I believe....." but please tell me why you say so, because it is important to me and my customers. I don't get to invloved in the why's and wherefore's, my business is supplying storage, but I can't help being inquisitive. As regards separation, some operators have an issue with settlement in the buffer tank as digestate comes out of the [U]separators[/U], after pasteurisation. This is with a base of maize silage and digesting food waste. I have been saying for a few years that the technology is not yet proven, but of course everybody cites Germany and creates the impression that everything is hunky dory there, so it will be here. The fact remains that there is no 'blueprint' for an AD system. It has to be tailored exactly to the inputs. Some people have been lucky, and stupidly shoot their mouths off; others less so and are, sadly, ridiculed. Unfortunately there are too many shiny suits in this industry. Their companies may go bankrupt, after they and their employees have taken a nice fat salary for a few years, and the customer, having spent a six or seven figure sum, is left with a problem. I may be cynical, but I've been in business for 30 years, and I built digesters way back in 1992. [/QUOTE]
