Alongside designing equipment, we aim to improve access to AD research and optimisation whilst advancing research standards. Anaero tech has engaged in collaborative research with various academic and industrial institutions such as Cambridge University, Cranfield University, Kings College London, UCL and NRM labs. A large and notable development was the introduction of automatic feeding. Commercial AD plants were considered the main application of our equipment, so to create a design that significantly increased the likeness of our data to that of an AD plant was a huge advancement, which we have now amassed over 13 years of experience in.
