An optimal energy allocation model using fuzzy linear programming for energy planning in India for the year 2020
Development of an energy allocation model will help in the proper allocation of the energy sources in meeting the future energy demand in India. In this paper, an attempt has been made to develop a fuzzy-based linear programming optimal energy model that minimises the cost and determines the optimum allocation of different energy sources for the centralised and decentralised power generation in ...

Project - Biogas Desulfurization at ETAR do Norte (Portugal)
The Wastewater Treatment Plant (ETAR) do Norte is one of the largest in the central region of Portugal, serving several municipalities. The infrastructure is located in the area of Coimbra, Leiria, occupying 6 hectares of land; it receives effluents from about 250,000 inhabitants of several municipalities. It has the capacity to treat some 38,000 m3 of wastewater daily, of which 77% is domestic, ...

Biogas from grass clippings
Biogas is a mixture of various types of gases, largely methane and CO2. Biogas is produced by a process called “anaerobic digestion”, which is the bacterial fermentation – without O2 – of biomass that can include: agro-industrial waste, solid and liquid waste from livestock farms, sewage sludge, by-products from agriculture, the organic fraction of solid urban waste ...

Idex Environnement’s Biogas plant at Amiens - Case Study
The Anaerobic Digestion (AD) plant in Amiens is operated by Idex Environment. The biogas is derived from the municipal solid waste (MSW) originating from the local area. Clarke Energy has delivered a full turnkey installation for this site, creating renewable energy. The engines supplied for this project are two JGMC 420 GS engines, together creating 2.8MWe, which is the equivalent of powering ...

The elimination of siloxanes from the biogas of a wastewater treatment plant by means of an adsorption process
Siloxanes present in the biogas produced during anaerobic digestion in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) can damage the mechanism of cogeneration heat engines and obstruct the process of energy valorization. The objective of this research is to detect the presence of siloxanes in the biogas and evaluate a procedure for their elimination. A breakthrough curve of a synthetic ...

Protect your biogas installations and reduce the maintenance costs
The conversion of biogas into green energy is not only environmentally friendly, but also contributes to the optimization of natural resources. More and more industries have biogas stations to take advantage of waste generated in these facilities, contributing to generate a circular economy where all available resources are exploited. Biogas plants need to remove impurities before it is ...

Biogas Plant in Verneuil, Dairy Cooperative - Case Study
In 2014, the dairy cooperative of Lochoise region, has awarded Clarke Energy the installation of a cogeneration module on its anaerobic digestion site, located at Verneuil-sur-Indre in Indre et Loire. The biogas plant which was established in 2014, consumes discharges from milk production, the wastewater treatment plant in the town, as well as several agricultural sites in the region. The main ...

Green Light for Recycling – Biogas has an exciting future - Case Study
The tipping lorry of the container vehicle moves up. In minutes, its load of food residue is emptied and starts its course to energy recovery. "Energy for tomorrow" is the slogan of the Danpower Group for a reason. Danpower sees the biogas sector as a key growth factor for the future. Twenty five biogas plants are currently in operation, one of which is in Bad Köstritz/Thüringen. ...

CHP efficiency for biogas
Combined heat and power plant efficiency is a function of the conversion efficiency of the energy in the fuel gas to useful energy in the form of electricity and heat. A combined heat and power (CHP) plant is typically a reciprocating gas engine that uses the energy in the gas to drive a crank shaft. The crank shaft turns an alternator to produce electricity. Heat is released during the gas ...

Harnessing biogas for energy savings
For Santa Cruz Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF), dependability matters. Since 1989, this state-of-the-art WWTF, nestled in a shallow canyon in the coastal city of Santa Cruz, Calif., has been leading the way for renewable energy programs and environmental protection in the West. Santa Cruz WWTF generates its own electric power by using internal combustion engines that burn a mixture of ...

Using biogas for combined heat and power
An integral part of the majority of anaerobic digestion facilities across the world is the CHP combined heat and power (CHP) engine. For the first time builder of a biogas plant, it is often neglected as the focus is on reducing the capital costs of the installation. However, the engine is integral to the plant, and is the key component in the production of renewable electricity, hence the ...
