The Challenge
An operational anaerobic digestion plant was experiencing persistent issues maintaining consistent heat within its BIO furnaces. Stable temperatures are essential to keep the bacteria alive that drive the anaerobic digestion process, enabling the efficient conversion of food waste into natural gases.
Fluctuating heat levels were disrupting bacterial activity, reducing gas output, and putting the plant’s continuous operation at risk. The client required a high-capacity, reliable temporary boiler hire solution that could integrate seamlessly with existing systems, maintain stable process temperatures, and operate safely within a live anaerobic digestion environment.
Cross Rental Services Solution
to stabilise furnace temperatures and support optimal bacterial performance at the anaerobic digestion plant.
The solution was engineered for reliability and included:
- 1.2MW industrial boiler hire: delivering consistent, high-output process heating
- Dual fuel tank system: providing fuel security and uninterrupted operation
- Steel braided hosing: ensuring durable, high-temperature heat transfer
- Termination to existing header: enabling seamless integration with the plant’s current heating infrastructure
Our specialist engineers completed the full installation, connection, and commissioning, ensuring the temporary boiler operated efficiently alongside the existing system. The setup allowed the plant to continue processing food waste without interruption, maintaining the stable thermal conditions required for anaerobic digestion.
The Outcome
The temporary heating solution successfully stabilised temperatures within the BIO furnaces, restoring the controlled environment required for bacterial survival and efficient anaerobic digestion. This led to consistent natural gas production, improved food waste turnover, and uninterrupted plant operations.
By delivering a reliable temporary boiler hire solution for an anaerobic digestion plant, Cross Rental Services supported continuous renewable energy generation while minimising downtime and operational risk. This project demonstrates our expertise in industrial boiler hire, bioenergy heating solutions, and temporary process heating for anaerobic digestion and energy-from-waste facilities.
