Anaerobic digestion facilities play a vital role in renewable energy production, but they also present significant air quality and emission control challenges. From biogas upgrading to digestate handling, odorous compounds and harmful emissions must be effectively managed to maintain compliance, protect surrounding communities and ensure safe site operations.
bio-flo delivers reliable and sustainable abatement for anaerobic digestion, using advanced biological processes to treat contaminated air streams at source. Designed specifically for demanding industrial environments, bio-flo provides long-term performance without the ongoing chemical costs associated with traditional scrubber systems.
Anaerobic digestion plants generate a range of emissions, including ammonia, hydrogen sulphide, volatile organic compounds and trace contaminants released during feedstock reception, digestion, storage and digestate processing. Without robust emission control, these gases can lead to odour complaints, corrosion issues and regulatory scrutiny.
bio-flo offers highly effective biological emission treatment for biogas plants, harnessing naturally occurring microbial communities to break down pollutants into harmless by-products. This approach ensures consistent treatment performance while reducing reliance on consumables and minimising operational complexity.
Effective Abatement for Anaerobic Digestion Facilities
Emission control within anaerobic digestion plants must address multiple stages of the process. Odours may arise from feedstock delivery areas, pre-treatment zones, digesters, gas handling systems and digestate storage. bio-flo is engineered to integrate seamlessly into these areas, providing targeted abatement where it is needed most.
By creating an optimised biological environment, bio-flo encourages the natural degradation of odorous and corrosive compounds. This significantly reduces ammonia concentrations and sulphurous gases, helping operators meet environmental permit requirements while improving overall site air quality.

Biological Emission Treatment for Biogas Plants
Biogas plants require dependable solutions that align with sustainability goals. Unlike chemical-based systems that generate secondary waste streams, bio-flo supports long-term environmental performance through biological emission treatment for biogas plants.
The system maintains stable microbial populations that adapt to fluctuating gas loads, ensuring reliable performance even under varying operational conditions. This makes bio-flo particularly suitable for agricultural digesters, food waste AD facilities and large-scale energy-from-waste operations.
For sites with higher loading requirements or specific gas treatment demands, Exeon also offers complementary technologies including hi-flo and scrubX, allowing operators to design a complete, tailored emission control strategy.
