Future development
BIOGEN is developing a national network of Integrated AD plants based on the success of its pioneering Ludlow plant.
Plans have been developed for further plants with an improved and enlarged design based on the experience and knowledge gained from BIOGEN Twinwoods. Each plant will be modified to individual circumstances but will be based around a consistent Second Generation design.
These Second Generation plants will be rolled out around the country in partnership with farmers, landowners and food waste producers.
BIOGEN is working within an innovative and fast changing industry and will ensure it keeps abreast of and utilises the latest technology developments as they occur.
Ongoing research and development (R&D) concentrates on the improvement of plant, equipment and processes to continually increase the efficiency of the whole operation. This R&D includes developing our own dedicated laboratory facilities to analyse, for example, the specific characteristics of different types of food waste and how they interact in the digestion process.
