Anaerobic Digestion and Biogas
Pumps to manage different types of waste and animal by-products.
Managing heavy grit for your plant
At Atlantic Pumps, we understand the unique challenges of the anaerobic digestion (AD) and biogas sector. Our robust pumping solutions are designed to handle high-solids sludges, digestate, and abrasive materials with efficiency and reliability. Whether you need pumps for feedstock transfer, sludge recirculation, or digestate handling, our expertise ensures minimal downtime, reduced maintenance costs, and optimised energy use. With a strong focus on sustainability and operational efficiency, Atlantic Pumps provides tailored solutions that keep your biogas operations running smoothly and cost-effectively.
Anaerobic digestion pump solutions
At Atlantic Pumps we specialise in handling abrasive and challenging fluids, making us the ideal partner for anaerobic digestion and biogas plants. Our robust pump solutions efficiently manage movement of food waste, slurry, soups, girt and rag for demanding applications including:
- Digestate Handling & Transfer – Reliable movement of processed material for storage, land application, or further treatment.
- Feedstock Transfer – Efficiently pumping food waste, slurry, and organic matter into the digester.
- Sludge Recirculation – Enhancing biogas production by maintaining optimal mixing and microbial activity.
Designed for durability and efficiency, our pumps minimize downtime, reduce maintenance costs, and optimize AD plant performance.
Tailored Pump Solutions for Anaerobic Digestion
Every anaerobic digestion plant has unique challenges, and selecting the right pump is crucial for efficiency, reliability, and longevity. At Atlantic Pumps, we take the time to understand your specific requirements and recommend the best solution for your operation.
Our expert team will assess factors such as fluid consistency, abrasiveness, and flow rate to determine the most effective pump type—or a combination of multiple technologies—to optimise your process. This could include:
Progressive Cavity Pumps – Ideal for handling viscous sludges and delicate organic materials with minimal shear.
Peristaltic Pumps – Excellent for abrasive and high-solids content fluids, with low maintenance and no internal valves or seals.
Centrifugal Pumps – Designed for high-flow, low-viscosity liquids, offering reliable performance in various AD applications.
Submersible Pumps – Robust solutions for digestate transfer, dewatering, and handling challenging slurries.
Whether you need a single pump or an integrated system, we’ll provide the right solution to keep your AD plant running smoothly and efficiently.
