Biogas Solutions

Anaerobic digestion is a process where microorganisms break down organic waste, such as wastewater, in the absence of oxygen. The process occurs in four stages: hydrolysis, acidogenesis, acetogenesis, and methanogenesis, converting complex organic compounds into biogas (methane and carbon dioxide) and digestate.

Biogas can be used as a renewable energy source, while digestate can act as a nutrient-rich fertilizer. Anaerobic digestion effectively treats organic waste, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and generates sustainable energy.

Biogas upgrading is a crucial step in maximizing the potential of your renewable energy projects.

By removing impurities like CO2, hydrogen sulfide, and water vapor, upgraded biogas, or biomethane, becomes a versatile and eco-friendly energy source that not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions, it also lowers the dependency on fossil fuels. Additionally, it can help to improve operational efficiency and bottom-line profit. 

Biochar is the product of the pyrolysis of organic material. It has the potential to be an important link in the circular economy. The technology offers a sustainable approach to converting organic materials into valuable products, including biochar. It helps to reduce waste, particularly agricultural waste, sequester carbon, improve soil health, and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

The Organics Pyroclast® pyrolysis unit is designed for final waste disposal. This is its primary intent. Energy recovery, in the form of an Organic Rankine Cycle power unit, can easily be added.

Electricity generation from biogas is a tried and tested technology that uses what has traditionally been considered to be a dangerous by-product of waste management into a useful and highly effective resource.

By using biogas from a variety of industries, including landfill and wastewater treatment, energy can be created that not only displaces the use of traditional fuel but also removes a highly dangerous greenhouse gas, methane, from the atmosphere.

Biogas and landfill gas are produced by naturally occurring bacteria that consume organic materials to produce methane. Properly managed this methane may be employed to produce energy and thereby offset the use of fossil fuels.

Organics has constructed several hundred systems that are involved in the production, capture and use of methane from natural sources.
