Anaerobic digestion (AD) sites are vital for sustainable waste management and renewable energy production, but they face ongoing challenges in managing odour emissions and adapting to changing weather conditions, both of which can impact operations, community relations, and overall efficiency. Maximising the efficiency and productivity of an AD site is achieved through the professional installation of a tailored meteorological monitoring solution such as a weather station. These solutions ensure seamless integration with our intuitive Skylink-pro software, Skylink-pro turns your Skyview-installed weather station data into manageable, reliable information that you can access remotely allowing for rapid decision-making and long-term compliance.
Investing in a professional Skyview Installation, Skylink-pro, and a comprehensive maintenance and support agreement allows AD site operators to remain compliant when considering air quality and emission management, odour management and pollution control. The year 2023 saw one AD site operator fined over £26,000 for failing to comply with Environment Agency site rules with regards to odour control. Skyview’s SCADA alarm and warning module coupled with a remote weather monitoring system can ensure compliance at an AD site. This solution provides real-time data on key weather variables such as wind speed, temperature, and rainfall, allowing operators to anticipate and mitigate potential environmental risks. Automated alerts enable swift action to control emissions, manage odour dispersal, and prevent digestate runoff ensuring adherence to environmental regulations including SR2021 from the Environment Agency. By proactively responding to adverse weather conditions, the system enhances operational efficiency, safeguards infrastructure, and supports regulatory reporting, keeping the AD site fully compliant with environmental and safety standards.
