Poultry Manure
Pig Slurry
-
+20–40% higher methane yield
Increases gas output by accelerating methanogenesis and improving biological efficiency. -
Reduced inhibition & ammonia/VFA stress
Adsorbs ammonia and VFAs that destabilise digestion and reduce gas production. -
Stronger, more resilient microbial communities
Provides surfaces for biofilms and enhances DIET, enabling faster conversion and shock resistance. -
Higher OLR with existing tanks
Boosts biological capacity so plants can process more organics without adding new infrastructure.
ActiSense — Real-Time Biological Monitoring
Minute-by-minute visibility of microbial activity, organic loading, and toxicity signals—so you can act before problems escalate.
-
Early detection of toxicity & upsets
Identifies shock loads, VFAs, and inhibition days before lab metrics change. -
Real-time microbial health insight
Tracks metabolic activity in real-time to reveal what biology is doing right now. -
Lower operating costs through smarter aeration
Reduces unnecessary aeration and reactive interventions with precise biological data. -
Protects stability across wastewater & AD
Prevents souring, effluent issues, and downtime in municipal, industrial, and agricultural systems.
For operators needing early detection of toxicity, VFAs, and microbial imbalance—before disruptions occur.
More than a Product. A Commitment to Change
RAFT Energy is redefining climate-positive solutions for energy, wastewater, agriculture, and beyond.
- In order to make waste to wealth future a reality today, all of us in this industry will achieve these goals better, and faster, through collaboration. Part of our core philosophy is bringing the businesses, technology providers and financers all together to #makebiogashappen.

Biogas additives are widely used in anaerobic digestion to improve process stability, support microbial activity, and increase gas production. These include trace elements, nutrient supplements, enzymes, microbial products, and more recently, biologically active materials designed to improve conversion efficiency within the digester itself. As feedstocks become more variable and plants

Foaming in anaerobic digesters is one of the most disruptive operational issues in biogas production. It is immediate, visible, and difficult to ignore. Foam can
Elevated volatile fatty acids (VFAs) are one of the clearest indicators that something is wrong inside a digester. They are also one of the most
