Organic waste digester
HoSt’s organic waste digesters offer industries a sustainable and cost-effective solution for managing their organic waste. The biogas systems have versatile applications across various industries, such as food waste from the food processing industry. Similarly, industrial and municipal sludge, as well as slaughterhouse waste, can be effectively treated with our technology. Additionally, we provide service and maintenance – resulting in the highest plant availability.
Design & technology
HoSt has extended experience with many types of biogas plants, including centrally mixed digesters. The advantage of these centrally mixed digesters is the limited amount of space that is required. The most suitable technologies and components can be offered based on the feedstock type, personal preferences, economic feasibility, and the available land plot.
Sustainable energy and end-products
The organic waste digesters make use of the latest and most innovative technology, due to our strong focus on research and development. Biogas can be further utilized into biomethane, liquid CO2, bio-LNG, and bio-CNG. Organic waste biogas plants are a sustainable solution for all industries dealing with abundant organic waste.

Biogas from sugar waste
This biogas facility at Fontenoy, Belgium transforms beet residuals, such as beet tops, into renewable energy. After the first successful project for Iscal, HoSt has developed a second biogas plant. The biogas plants efficiently process up to 200 tons of waste daily during the sugar beet campaign. After a pretreatment, the biogas is directly applied in Isera & Scaldis’ sugar production process which contributes to sustainable sugar manufacturing and a greater independency of fossil natural gas. Aligning organic waste production with the factory’s heat demand.
Frequently asked questions
What counts as suitable organic waste?
Food waste, expired product, catering and retail waste, industrial food residues and green waste are all suitable, alone or combined. What matters is the organic content and how clean the stream is, since contaminants lower yield and quality. More information.
What does an organic-waste plant produce?
Biogas and digestate, with the biogas ready for heat and power or for upgrading to biomethane, bio-LNG or bio-CNG. The biogenic CO2 from upgrading can be recovered as a food-grade product, so a single waste stream yields energy, fertiliser and CO2. More information.
Does it matter whether the waste is solid or liquid?
Both are digestible; the difference is in handling. Solid waste enters through a solid feeder, liquids through pumped systems, and most plants take a mix of the two. The feeding configuration is matched to the physical form of your feedstock. More information.
Is the energy carbon-neutral?
The CO2 released is biogenic, recently taken from the atmosphere by the source material, so it counts as carbon-neutral in most regulatory frameworks. Recovering the CO2 during upgrading and selling it as a product, rather than venting it, improves the balance further. More information.
What should be kept out of the digester?
Plastics, packaging, glass and metal reduce gas yield, wear the equipment and contaminate the digestate, so pre-treatment and depackaging remove them first. HoSt sizes the pre-treatment line to the contamination level of your waste. More information.
