Landia Supplies Biogas Mixing System to Indian Distillery
The order adds to Landia's GasMix installed base, with the distillery reporting a 60% cut in reliance on the national grid.
Updated on Nov. 2, 2026 in Cocktails
Landia has secured an order to supply its GasMix Biogas digester mixing system to an Indian distillery. The distillery has reduced its dependence on the national grid by 60% using a new high-pressure turbine.
Why it matters
The GasMix system is one of more than 1,700 installations worldwide, and the order shows how anaerobic digestion can help drinks producers manage waste and energy use. Reducing grid dependence can lower operating costs and exposure to power supply constraints.
The GasMix system uses 30kW, 1500rpm Landia Chopper Pumps to break down solids from the waste stream and keep them in suspension. Landia reports more than 1,700 GasMix installations worldwide, but the extraction does not give the order's value or the baseline used for the 60% grid-reduction figure.
The players
Landia
Landia is a manufacturer of mixing and pumping equipment for biogas and wastewater applications, known for its Chopper Pump range.
Guy Ritchie
Guy Ritchie is a British film director and producer who is an early backer, shareholder and creative collaborator at Rosemaund Farm Distillery.
The details
Landia's GasMix system is designed so that everything can be accessed from outside the tank and includes venturi nozzles. The distillery, which produces whiskies, gins, vodkas, rums and brandies, will use the system to process wastewater for its biogas plant, recycling a mixture of liquid and biogas at the new anaerobic digestion facility.

Culture Shift
The order fits a growing pattern in which drinks producers pair anaerobic digestion with on-site energy generation, as seen in the GasMix system's more than 1,700 installations. Distilleries are increasingly treating spent mash and wastewater as an energy input rather than a disposal problem.
For drinks lovers, the story signals that distilleries adopting biogas systems may face fewer power-cost swings over time, though the extraction does not link this to any change in bottle prices. The practical effect for most readers is limited to the production side of the spirits they buy.
The takeaway
Biogas and energy-recovery systems are moving from pilot projects into routine distillery operations. Readers following sustainability in the drinks trade can watch whether grid-independence figures like the 60% reported here hold up in future operating data.
