What is Biogas Plant ?
A biogas plant optimises the utilisation of manure, waste and other organic feedstock by converting the biomasses into energy and valuable bio-fertiliser.
Biogas is a methane rich flammable gas that results from the decomposition of organic waste material.
Biogas is produced by anaerobic digestion or fermentation of biodegradable materials such as biomass, manure, sewage, municipal waste, green waste, plant material and energy crops.
Biogas also called as ‘Marsh gas’.
Biogas is a type of biofuel. This type of biogas comprises primarily methane and carbon dioxide.
A biogas plant from Green Energy Solution is always optimised to give the best return on investment.
Most Common Substrates
- Animal (cows, pigs, chickens) and human excrements
- Residues from food production (apple juice, wine, oil, sugar)
- Residues from alcohol production (beer, brewer grains, etc.)
- Residues from food & vegetable packing plants
- Leftovers from restaurants
- Leftovers from greenhouses
- The organic fraction of MSW (municipal solid waste)
- Leftovers from milk and dairy production
- Residues from biofuel production
- Slaughterhouse waste, Past-dated foods
- Any plant material - maize, sugar beets, grains, grass
Substrates are fed into large hermetically-closed tanks known as biogas plants. In the biogas plants these substrates are heated to an optimal temperature and agitated so as to produce biogas, which bubbles to the top and is collected in a gas-holder roof. The biogas is then fed into it which produces electricity and heat. The whole process is electronically monitored.
