Our engineers were out on site yesterday, carrying out the annual fire extinguisher servicing at this very unique place up in Chepstow, which is known as a ‘anaerobic digestion plant’.
After speaking with one of the very friendly workers, he shared some very interesting facts on what goes on.
100 tonne of waste goes into these digestion plants a day which consist of chicken/cow manure and also silage. The products sit tight in these digestion chambers and over around 40 days, they ferment and produce methane which rises. The methane is then extracted to generate renewable energy.
This is a great insight to modern technology and British farming. Definitely one of the perks of being an engineer and seeing what goes on out there. We look forward to seeing the growth of this place again in 2027.
