Biogas is an all-rounder among renewable energies. It can be converted to electricity and heat or be used as a fuel and natural gas equivalent. 

Organic wastes such as live stock excreta and food residue pose a serious environmental risk in terms of air and groundwater pollution. GREENRICH Biogas plants provide a proven solution to this problem by converting these materials into heat and electrical energy and leaving behind safe, environmentally friendly fertilizer.

Biogas is a combustible fuel which is produced through the anaerobic digestion process. Anaerobic means “in the absence of oxygen”. In the right set of circumstances, the organic fraction of liquid or solid biomass is converted into valuable fuel. Biogas consists of roughly 40% – 70% methane, with the rest being CO2 and trace amounts of H2O, H2S, H2 and NH3 produced by the microbiological process. The amount of methane in the biogas is largely a function of the organic input menu.

Liquid and solid manure, vegetable waste, grocery store waste, fats, oils, and greases (FOG), slaughterhouse waste, and selective energy crops, like corn, are ideally suited as inputs to a biogas plant. Biogas, when utilized in a combined heat and power (CHP) unit produces electrical energy for sale and heat energy for use locally. The heat produced by the CHP is used to heat the digestion process to improve biogas yield. Biogas can also be cleaned up for injection into the local natural gas grid or as a vehicle fuel.

The remaining byproduct of the digestion process is digestate which is a fermented organic material which may be used as high quality fertilizer. Biogas has a key role in supporting a diverse energy portfolio as a flexible, dispatchable fuel source.

Model: Bio TPAD

The Temperature Phased Anaerobic Digestion (TPAD) incorporates both thermophilic and mesophilic reactors connected in series to take advantage of the higher digestion rate of thermophilic digestion as well as the higher stability of the mesophilic digestion.

The thermophilic digestion rate is usually four times faster than the mesophilic digestion. On the other hand, adding a mesophilic digestion at the end not only improved stability of the digestion operation but also destroyed odorous compounds produced during the thermophilic stage.

Overall the TPAD process has greater volatile suspended solids (VSS) destruction and gas production ability. 

It is reported that the VSS destruction efficiencies of the TPAD process are 15-25% greater than the single stage mesophilic digestion process. The TPAD process is also reported to have better shock absorbing capacity, lesser foaming issues and the ability to produce a ‘Class A’ biosolids

  •  Class A biosolids produced

  •  Higher VSR at short SRTs
  •  Better hydrolysis of biological sludge
  •  Reduced solids to dewatering
  •  Less odors

Model : Bioplus

Bioplus is a modified three-stage methane fermentation system that can produce methane from easily biodegradable waste was developed by us. This system uses a process that entails three stages: semi anaerobic hydrolysis/acidogenesis, strictly anaerobic acidogenesis, and strictly anaerobic methanogenesis.

This separate-reactor system efficiently decreases hydraulic retention time by increasing the rates of Microbe growth with in the digester by adding carrier material as the burnt brick, hydrolysis, acidogenesis and methanogenesis without affecting pH, and shows a high methane yield. The process adopted in this equipment is autocatalytic the immobilized bacterial column provided in the central column increases the microbial content. 

The increased gas production in the central column creates a difference in density and the density and the density difference helps in better mixing. The mixing process adopted here eliminates the requirement of power.
