These days, you can find a slurry of memes and motivational graphics on social media alluding to the concept that you must always beat out your competition in business.

Biogas generated from anaerobic digestion (AD) contains a mixture of compounds including water vapour. This is not always considered by those burning biogas in a combine heat and power (CHP) facility. If water enters a CHP engine it can decrease its efficiency and lead to corrosion, resulting in reduced biogas yields and engine damage. CHP engines are one of the most expensive pieces of equipment to replace on an AD plant, so it makes sense to look after them.
