The Andigen automated control system uses state of the art programmable logic controllers (PLC's) to control all functions necessary to successfully operate the digester system.

The IBR control system is designed to operate the digester with minimal human intervention. It includes sub-system failure alarms and redundant safety systems. It also provides remote monitoring and remote control of the digester meaning the system can be monitored and controlled from any location.

The IBR system uses modular and scalable anaerobic digester tanks that are pre-manufactured and delivered to the user's site, reducing the amount of on-site construction work required. The modular design allows for scale-up or scale-down and can be used to treat small or large waste stream volumes.

Combined with a vertical column design, the IBR footprint is much smaller than than is otherwise needed by competitor digester systems. With a smaller footprint, the IBR tanks are generally housed in a well insulated, environmentally controlled building for more consistent operation and protection from temperature variations.

Used above ground, small diameter vessels, the IBR offers greater modularity than competitor in-ground systems or larger complete mix systems. IBR tanks can be moved or added to as needed. When maintenance is required, a single tank can be taken offline without affecting the overall system.
