entec biogas: Current news
Visit us at IFAT 2012 in Munich from May 07-11 – booth no. 417/hall B3. We are looking forward to seeing you!
Commissioning of food waste digestion plant Benet in France, 1 MW elec.
The first food waste digestion plant in France was completed in April 2010. entec biogas gmbh had got the commission for the design, as well as general contractor for mechanical and electrical engineering and commissioning of the biogas plant. Right now, the biogas plant is under commissioning and is expected to be on full capacity in September 2010. The biogas plant in Benet treats waste from the food and animal feed industry.
Europe works right now on bio waste regulations which should lead to a separation of municipal solid waste with subsequent material utilization. Most of the EU-members support this goal; with the exception of France because presently their focus is on the production of compost produced from not-separated municipal solid waste.
We would like to express our sincerest thanks to M. Philippe Spannagel (Director of SIFDDA Centre, Benet) and his staff, as well as all to the involved SARIA-team under the direction of Dr. Eberhard Schmidt for the outstanding cooperation.
Bionerval, a French daughter company of the German Rethmann Group, pioneers with its biogas plant being the first company practicing biowaste separation and feeding it into a biogas plant for energy production.
Design of the world’s largest biogas plant for cow manure in El Paso, USA started
This facility in the USA will be the world’s largest biogas plant for cow manure (manure from 60.000 dairy cows) and will be constructed by our American daughter company in joint venture through entec biogas USA (in the course of formation). The plant will be developed in a irrigated desert area with intensive cow breeding.
Since the available areas cannot be used for spreading the extreme quantities of manure and to convert the manure in a usable, commercial product, a treatment plant for the treatment of the manure is needed – whose first step will be the biogas plant. Also, a compost plant and a wastewater treatment plant will be part of the treatment. Starting signal for the biogas plant will be in November.
Design of a 2 MW-biogas plant for food waste in Great Britain - Trend setting biogas technology catches on
Through our innovative and flexible technology that meets industrial standards, we were able to prevail against well-known competition.We are presently in the planning phase of a biogas plant which will process 80.000 tons of food waste per year, producing more than 13 MW of electricity and more than 11 MW of thermal power for our customer, White’s Biogas Solutions Ltd. in Selby.
The digestion plant in Selby is planned to be constructed on the factory site of a former citrus acid production company using existing units.
entec biogas plant for digestion of restaurant and food waste successfully on line
We have successfully realized a 2 MW-biogas plant for the digestion of restaurant and food waste in Malchin/Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany for Saria Refood GmbH. The plant went online in December 2007. Saria had already gained positive results with a food waste digestion plant built by entec staff in Kogel. The plant has a process capacity of 40.000 tons per year. The success of that project led to the decision rewarding entec biogas gmbh the Malchin project, which will have a process capacity of 50.000 tons per year when completed.
The plant technology consists of the reception and pasteurisation of the food waste with digestion following in the CSTR-digesters (2 x 3.500 m³) and in-line post digester. The energy recovery of the biogas takes place in two CHP- modules with 1 MW el. power each after desulphurisation and drying of the biogas. The digestion residues are used as high quality, organic fertilizer on the surrounding fields.
entec biogas on the road to success in Spain
Our scope of services includes overall engineering, project management as well as commissioning of three biogas plants for the digestion of pig manure. The total electric power produced will be 45 MW (15 x 3 MW cogeneration sets of Jenbacher each). These projects will be realized for one of the largest engineering companies in Spain, with whom entec biogas has a successful long-term and exclusive cooperation.
The first biogas plant has already been planned and realized in Juneda in 2000 under the auspices of the EU-Valpuren Programme. Juneda II was realized in 2003 and has been in operation since the beginning of 2004. These two projects formed the basis of a successful market positioning in Spain.
At present, three new biogas plants are under parallel construction – two plants close to Madrid with 15 MW el. power each- commissioning begins in 2009 - as well as one plant (15 MW) close to Barcelona which is near completion.
“The advantages of entec biogas gmbh lie in its many years of experience realizing large, custom-made industrial biogas facilities world-wide and the flexibility of their technology with its increased attention to architecturally appealing solutions”, states Ramon Pons, Environmental Dept. Director of the client.
