After successful cold commissioning and subsequent shipment to Denmark by sea, the 100th EnviThan biogas upgrading plant built by Germany-headed biogas technology all-rounder EnviTec Biogas AG is now ready for commercial operation.
The anniversary EnviThan biogas upgrading plant can now achieve an impressive total capacity of 1,510 Nm3 of biomethane aka renewable natural gas (RNG) per hour.
This expansion marks the second time Lars Nielsen has placed his trust in the expertise of Germany’s largest biogas manufacturer.
EnviTec first implemented a biogas upgrading system at Lykkeslund Farm in 2017, starting with a capacity of 396 Nm3 of biomethane per hour.
In two expansion phases, the capacity was then increased to 468 Nm3/h and finally to 510 Nm3/h.
The new capacity expansion to 1,510 Nm3/h enables a gradual and flexible increase of the plant’s output, explained Maurice Markerink – an argument that convinced the customer right from the start.
Efficiency, profitability, and sustainability
This flexibility allows Lykkeslund Farm and Lars Nielsen to respond better to fluctuating market conditions and demand while marketing the produced gas from liquid manure and residues separately.
Efficiency has also improved, as production can be adjusted to the required volume of gas.
This enables us to save resources while minimizing costs, a real win-win in terms of sustainability for both the environment and the economy, said Lars Nielsen.
Compact design with high output
An innovation of the plant is that it integrates the entire 1,000 Nm³/h EnviThan technology into just one 45’ container, with only the gas compressor located in a high-quality soundproof cabin.
This way, the entire gas upgrading technology fits into a single EnviThan container, making it even more space-saving and cost-effective than the first two-container plant with half the capacity, Maurice Markerink said.
RNG is essential for Danish GHG reduction
The biogas upgrading market plays an essential role in Denmark’s energy policy and strategy for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
According to Biogas Danmark, 37 percent of gas consumption in Denmark is currently covered by biomethane.
EnviTec Biogas has been active in Denmark for more than eight years and has a total of thirteen completed biogas projects and a total capacity of 9,910 Nm³/h of biomethane.
