Read this case study on how the Gaia Envirotech and Booth Transport teams worked together to optimise renewable gas production and maintain a healthy microbe environment whilst treating variable organic waste sources. This installation has the capacity to treat 5,500 tonnes of organic waste – and produce equivalent energy to power 94 homes! As a modular installation, it can be expanded to treat more organic waste as required.
Anaerobic Digestion facility at Booth Transport
The Gaia EnviroTech Anareobic Digestion system located at Booth’s Strathmerton facility utilises remote monitoring capability and experienced technical support from the Gaia team at the company’s HQ in Ballarat. Feedstock variability has included different organic inputs such as wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) sludge, milk solids and other feedstocks.
Mitchell Booth, Director Booth Transport noted that “The modular nature of the Gaia Anaerobic Digestion solution matched our requirements. Furthermore, the Gaia technical team has shown a deep capability and commitment to bring the unit online and optimise its performance.”
Benefits from the installation for Booth includes reducing odour and solids while generating valuable biogas. This biogas is used to heat the AD unit and is planned to replace up to 1,000 L/day of diesel usage, making a significant impact on their carbon footprint. The AD facility’s design, manufacturing, installation, and commissioning were handled by the Gaia EnviroTech team.
