"Chesterfield Biogas - technology for renewable energy

"Chesterfield BioGas was established to provide turnkey solutions for the cleaning, storage and dispensing of biomethane, produced from waste water treatment and anaerobic digestion of organic waste.

In October 2010 we successfully completed the first biogas upgrading project to inject organically produced biomethane directly into the national gas grid. Raw biogas from a wastewater treatment site is being processed using a Chesterfield BioGas Manuka Plus upgrading unit which outputs biomethane up to 99% purity.

This achievement was a defining moment for the UK energy industry and it is expected that the process will be monitored closely by many looking to apply cost-effective renewable energy solutions from organic waste.

The process is environmentally friendly, energy consumption is low and the product is easy to install, manage and maintain.

The product range spans a wide field: our smallest model - the Manuka - with its competitive pricing is specially developed for sewage treatment plants and smaller farms that have lower capacity requirements. The larger models are designed for higher capacity industrial biomethane facilities.

This latest generation of water scrubbing technology upgrades organically produced biogas to pure biomethane for use as pipeline quality gas or for vehicle fuelling. Unlike fossil fuels which are in limited supply and Increasing in price, biogas is extracted via processes that have previously consumed carbon (CO2), resulting in a naturally balanced cycle.

A full advisory, design and project development service can be offered to enable you to gain maximum benefit from this waste-to-energy process." more

Biogas technology

MT-Energie's biotechnology is based off of a two part, continuously running system. Because of this three tanks are needed: a 1st digester, 2nd digester and storage tank.

The main difference between our system and a classical two step process is that the first digester and second digester are run under the same conditions. The atmosphere in the digester is almost oxygen free. The substrate has a constant temperature in the mesophilic range (40-42°C or 104-107°F) and a neutral pH range (6.7-7.5).

The advantage of this system is the maximization of gas production. In the second step an additional 20% of the gas is extracted." ... more

Philosophy

"In every modern society meaningful utilisation of wastes is of major importance:

     1 since wastes are inevitably associated with prosperity and growth,
     2 since wastes have to be disposed of in a hazard-free and environmentally friendly manner,
     3 since wastes bear a valuable resource,
     4 since wastes always accumulate mixted or impure.

At an early stage, BTA had recognised that the separation of wastes into manageable fractions at highest possible purity and their appropriate treatment are prerequisites for an environmentally compatible handling of wastes. Moreover, proper and efficient treatment of wastes also results in economic success.

We feel committed to the task of successfully merging these economic and ecological interests.

Therefore, BTA International has developed the BTA process to a pre-commercial stage already in the 1980s. This method ensures removal of all impurities at an early stage, and combines this step with operationally safe digestion of the organic fraction. The core of the BTA process consists of the hydromechanical treatment by means of the BTA Waste Pulper and the BTA Grit Removal System." ... more
