Biogas technology provider Biogest America Inc., a subsidiary of Austria-headed BIOQUADRAT Energie- und Wassertechnik Holding GmbH, has announced that it has been selected to build a manure-based biogas plant in South Dakota.
The project is being developed under the Brightmark RNG Holdings LLC joint venture with Chevron U.S.A. Inc., at the Full Circle Dairy Farm in Hurley, Turner County, South Dakota (SD).
Full Circle RNG is part of the third tranche of projects developed under the joint venture.
The project includes building four new anaerobic digesters on the newly built Full Circle Dairy Farm.
After the farm is operational and the anaerobic digestion (AD) project is complete, the biogas generated by this manure will be captured, cleaned, and upgraded into RNG.
We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to plan this anaerobic digestion project as a component of our new Full Circle Dairy. We are repeat partners with Brightmark for a simple reason: we know that we can trust them to get the job done, said Greg Van Ravenswaay, Manager, Full Circle Dairy.
Once completed the plant will have an annual capacity to process 224 000 tonnes of manure into a high-quality organic fertilizer and 156 000 MMBTU of RNG.
According to Biogest, its proven biogas plant technology offers significant advantages in energy efficiency and operational safety as well as an easy and cost-efficient maintenance system.
