Selected
anaerobic digestion plant
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:
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.

Discussion
The best name may depend on the context.
Anaerobic digestion is a collection of processes by which microorganisms break down biodegradable material in the absence of oxygen. The process is used for industrial or domestic purposes to manage waste and/or to produce fuels. Much of the fermentation used industrially to produce food and drink products, as well as home fermentation, uses anaerobic digestion.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaerobic_digestion
What is Anaerobic Digestion?
Anaerobic Digestion (AD) converts 30-60% of the digestible solids in the feedstock into biogas by bacterial fermentation. The biogas is then burned to generate renewable energy.
