A biogas plant offers an efficient, cost-effective and sustainable way to generate energy. One of the most crucial aspects of running a plant is how the digester is fed – it has a direct impact on your gas yield. But how do you feed solid materials in a way that’s suitable for the bacteria doing the work? This is where the concept of “liquid feeding” often comes into play.

With an integrated digester feeder system like Vogelsang's solid matter feeder, you can prepare and mix solids with a liquid component in the most effective way. This process not only boosts gas production but also helps cut energy costs. How exactly does it work, and what technology makes it possible? Let’s take a closer look!

Cider production generates large amounts of natural byproducts that, while highly biodegradable, cannot be simply discarded into the environment, posing significant challenges. That’s where the XRipper grinder comes in—optimising sludge handling and ensuring smoother operations for further processing.

At Vogelsang, we’ve been at the forefront of slurry technology for decades. In fact, we invented the dribble bar and built the very first slurry macerator—so when it comes to slurry distribution and application, we know what it takes to maximise nutrient use and minimise emissions.

At Vogelsang Ireland, we pride ourselves on engineering solutions that work reliably – even in the most unique of settings. One such example is Dublin Zoo’s Gorilla Rainforest, where our VX series rotary lobe pump has been running consistently and effectively for several years, helping to maintain a lifelike and enriching habitat for one of the zoo’s most iconic species.

Get your slurry spreading technology ready to perform out in the field. As a farmer or contractor, having your slurry spreading equipment in excellent working condition is crucial for efficient and effective operations. Ensuring that your slurry applicator and its components, such as the macerator, are well-maintained especially after the season ends is not just good practice — it's essential for even distribution, uniform plant growth, and optimal nutrient management.

Here's how you can keep your slurry spreading technology fit for the field, featuring key maintenance steps using the Vogelsang SwingMax dribble bar system with heavy duty ExaCut ECQ macerator as an example.

How wet wipes become sewer monsters

In recent years, sewage system operators, including wastewater associations and municipalities, have grappled with a growing problem: hygiene and disposable cosmetic products, instead of being tossed in the rubbish, are increasingly being flushed down toilets. These products, particularly wet wipes, end up in the sewage system, causing significant issues and millions in damage.

Maintenance Tips to Keep your Vogelsang VX Rotary Lobe Pump Running Smoothly

In agricultural settings—whether on tankers, self-propelled vehicles, or at slurry pits—pumping technology must perform reliably, handling not only slurry but also foreign materials like fibrous matter, stones, and claw blocks. To keep your equipment running smoothly throughout the slurry season, regular maintenance is key.

As marinas and inland waterways become more focused on their environmental impact, finding effective waste management solutions is crucial. The PierPump waste management system offers a practical way to support boaters' eco-friendly experiences while upholding the highest environmental standards.

When innovation meets dedication, extraordinary things happen. The combination of Vogelsang's VX rotary lobe pump and Crossland Tankers' state-of-the-art slurry tanker form a perfect partnership that's reshaping the landscape of slurry transport.
