European Commission to Increase Biogas Production for Energy Independence
The European Union is looking to decrease its energy dependence on Russian gas. The EU Commission has proposed to increase the bio-methane production from 3 billion cubic meters in 2020 to 35 billion cubic meters by 2030. It is an irony that the gas package for legislation presented by the European Commission in December 2021 might not have been a priority for the French EU Council Presidency, ...

Siloxane Removal
SILOXANS IN BIOGAS. ORIGIN, EFFECTS AND TREATMENTS Biogas from landfills, digestion and wastewater treatment plants (wwtp) is a valuable material for the production of energy, biofuels and the production of chemical products such as hydrogen and methanol. As it is a source of renewable energy, it is inexhaustible, clean and can be used as planned. Their use generates less environmental ...

Capturing biogas energy to increase your business profits while safeguarding the environment
Methane is a biogas produced from swine or cow manure, as well as food processing and meat packing waste. Methane is a natural gas, that when left uncollected, contributes to the harmful greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere. When biogas is captured under a cover and becomes concentrated, it creates a corrosive and toxic byproduct called hydrogen sulfide. The gas generates a rotten egg ...

GTI’s cover for the town of Creston lasts 20 years - case study
The Town of Creston, British Columbia, Canada, operates an anaerobic digester to treat brewery wastewater. Biogas is used to fuel a boiler for process heating. The system was approaching 20 years old and the cover, originally built by GTI, required replacement. The anaerobic digester had to remain in service while the covers were changed. The cover was replaced with an updated GTI gas collection ...

GTI and the City of Tulare celebrate 25 years of converting waste to energy - case study
Energy conservation has always been extremely important to both the City of Tulare and the wastewater treatment facility. Since biogas can be used as fuel to generate electricity, the city wanted a means to reliably collect biogas from the BVF® reactor to recover the energy while also controlling odors and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. To address the City of Tulare’s needs, ...

Dreyer & Bosse deliver renewable energy CHP project to Sofia in Bulgaria
The Sofia council decided to invest in renewable energy to make use of the many tons of biowaste (vegetative material), 20,000 tons per annum, from the waste removal collections that take place daily in Sofia and surrounding area. To make this possible it was decided to go for wet fermentation where the substrate or raw material ferments and the biogas is collected. After three weeks the ...

Autogenerative high pressure digestion: anaerobic digestion and biogas upgrading in a single step reactor system
Conventional anaerobic digestion is a widely applied technology to produce biogas from organic wastes and residues. The biogas calorific value depends on the CH4 content which generally ranges between 55 and 65%. Biogas upgrading to so-called ‘green gas’, with natural gas quality, generally proceeds with add-on technologies, applicable only for biogas flows >100 m3/h. In the concept of ...
