Fields of Expertise•Innovative anaerobic filter digester to produce biogas in a very short retention time, smaller digester volume, lower energy losses and less storage time.•Recovering of the thermal energy to heat greenhouses used for hydroponic cultures growing on the digestates. •Irrigation of plantations comprising willows, poplars and miscanthus by residual waters
Industrial application fields•Feasibility Studies (from 10 to 1200 kWel) and demonstration•Conception and design of anaerobic filters •Conception and design of regular-type digesters
