AMPC and Tessele Consultants will deliver a webinar on the 31st March 2026, offering an exclusive first look at the Stage 2 anaerobic co-digestion pilot facility installation in Western Australia, as part of AMPC’s program of work on improving biogas productivity.

The pilots are in a purpose-built research platform designed to push the boundaries of anaerobic digestion performance and fast-track real-world outcomes for industry.

Tessele will provide insights into the installation and commissioning of a first-of-its-kind anaerobic digestion pilot in Western Australia. Built in collaboration with AMPC, the 2 x 500L reactors will serve as a key stepping-stone for the red meat industry, enabling processors to trial and validate the anaerobic digestion technology for their sites representative opportunity, including operation variables such as:

  • Feedstock & co-substrate compositions

  • Loading rates

  • Retention times

  • Temperature

While monitoring key production variables, such as:

  • Biogas production rate

  • Methane content

  • Methane yield

  • Process stability and efficiency
