Does anyone know which distilleries have an AD plant?

Was speaking to a man today Vitagold can no longer be bought and Draff is near impossible to find. Locally it is all going to the AD plant at Girvan distillery, the amount of money they are supposed to be making off the plant is Shocked Shocked Shocked they are then selling the byproduct as fertiliser.

Diageo owned Dailuaine has an anaerobic digestion plant. Diageo invested £6 million at Dailuaine to create a bioenergy plant which uses anaerobic digestion technology to treat waste water. They use anaerobic digestion technology to produce electricity for use on site.

The massive Diageo Roseisle distillery utilises a combination environmental technologies, such as biomass boilers to raise steam from the spent grains, and waste water treatment by anaerobic digestion and membrane filtration.

Thanks William. We run a 60kW biomass and get a good bit of cash can imagine the one at Roseisle would be a good money spinner.
