RAFT Energy

The software provides a platform for monitoring and optimizing anaerobic digestion processes. It integrates real‑time biological data from sensors to detect early signs of toxicity, volatile fatty acids, and microbial imbalance, allowing operators to intervene before performance disruptions occur. The system also supports the application of a patented activated biochar product, marketed as a biogas catalyst, which is intended to increase methane yield, stabilize pH, and reduce foaming.

Target users are operators of biogas plants and wastewater treatment facilities that co‑digest feedstocks such as food waste, abattoir waste, poultry manure, and pig slurry. By coupling sensor‑driven insights with the biochar additive, the platform aims to boost overall gas output, enable higher organic loading rates, and improve resilience to shock events.

Key distinguishing elements include validated plant‑trial results showing a 20‑40 % increase in methane production, mechanisms for ammonia and VFA adsorption, and support for direct‑in‑electron transfer via biofilm formation. The solution is positioned as an experimental utility for enhancing efficiency and profitability of existing digestion infrastructure.
