How often do you use the burn-off flare? I've always assumed that demand would exceed supply and that there would be no need for a flare stack. Can't the excess gas be compressed and stored for future use?
Hi Lorraine I work for a Company Called Borger Pumps we are a German manufacturers of equipment directed to the biogas industry, I look after the sales for all of Ireland and I’m based in Ireland and I cover the 32 counties !
They say, the approx breakdown of inputs into these digestors is 1/3 grass silage, 1/3 cereals and 1/3 slurry. If this is accurate, where and how is the slurry being injected into the system. I seen the big shed, thats possibly slatted and cattle are inside but i didnt see a slurry tower or what system is in place to make the slurry part of the equation
Great Video, As a Produktion Manager of BGP which installated by Envitec leared much from your video.
Thanks so much
Lorraine how many acres of silage is Killen brothers cutting for themselves including the digester? Great video, impressive set up!
I think those digesters are on par with 400 high yielding cows.... ishhhh... depending on the size of it I guess.
Just doing the sums if she’s using 30 tonnes per day and factoring maize and whole crop in guessing at 8 ton per acre shed need 300+ acres
All in all between farm and AD plant it’s somewhere in around 1500 acres that would be including wholecrop and maize
Great Video Lorraine, I'm quite curious about methane production, specifically from dairy waste, new sub here, thanks for sharing

how much does it cost the overall process nearly please ?
Great video again Lorraine! So good to see you showing us the behind the scenes

This is a forage only fed digester so its intakes are purely grown for feeding it. We don’t put any waste or bi-products into it
Love the vids! The rovers not bad either😉 gmm all the way
Very interesting video 👍
Interesting video. I used to deliver Ro concentrate to that AD plant. One of your tractors had to pull me up that steep hill one day 👍
Wow really interesting video about the ad plant,sounds loud on video can only imagine what it sounds like next to it
Very impressive way to produce energy. I imagine it's more efficient than solar panels even with all the tractors.
Great video enjoying watching keep up the good work 👏
Amazing machines thanks 4 taking time 2 explain it great v
Really interesting video. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the next one.
Great video.allways wanted a tour of a AD plant 👍
Great video Lorainne, nice to see all sides to the business, ye go through some amount of work
Great video & great setup, to see a different use of silage
👍❤️
Good video Lorraine
Thank you for the video
BEAUTIFUL❤
Great video very informative.
Great videos 👍
Great video Lorraine, just wondering why use them crops in AD plant
What sort of money was it to build that plant?
Does your Big X 1180 have the biogas drum in her
Hey Lorraine great video would you say an ad plant is a viable option to dairy farming?
Hi Lorraine, what are you doing or using for desulfurization?
Great presentation of your farm. Thanks from Stratford Ontario Canada
Great video Lorraine that’s some set up 👌
