anaerobic digestion plant


Explanation:
In my experience, anaerobic digestion plant (or facility) is the term most commonly used in the UK, whether in the agriculture or waste sectors or administration and government.

Example sentence(s):
  • In 2008 Kemble Farms Ltd completed the installation of a 300kW anaerobic digestion plant, which complemented their dairy unit and provided another income following fluctuating milk prices.
  • A new anaerobic digestion plant for Somerset’s food waste has been built at Walpole near Bridgwater.
