Hofstetter Gastechnik AG products

Landfill gas is a source of energy which can be used for electricity and heat production. Electricity and heat can be produced in quantities sucient for self-utilization, becoming self-sustainable and not using any external resources. They can also be used to produce bigger quantities, which can afterwards be sold to the grid or to local beneficiaries.

Transform your landfill in a safe environment for workers & residents. Methane, which is a main compound of landfill gas, causes 21 to 27 times more global warming than CO₂ and presents a potential risk of explosion, intoxication and fire. Where landfill gas cannot be utilized, we offer standardized plants, as well specific individual solutions for the safe collection and disposal of landfill gas.

Auttonomous – our complete, integrated and self sustainable solution for the management of off-grid landfills.

Eco-efficient value creation; Through our cogeneration solutions, biogas can be turned into heat and electricity, which can be used on-site or sold to third parties. Cogeneration represents the perfect heating source for the fermenter units, especially for biogas installations in colder regions.

Prevent methane emissions; For any situation, in which biogas cannot be utilized, our medium temperature flares are the ultimate solution for reliable and safe gas disposal.

Biogas essentially consists of methane and CO2. When those two components are separated through a biogas upgrading process, the methane can be fed to the gas grid as renewable natural gas or used on-site for the fueling up of CNG vehicles.

Tapping unused potential; In the process of biogas upgrading, CO2 is usually separated from the biomethane and vented to the atmosphere along with a fraction of the biomethane, the so-called methane slip. The economics of biogas upgrading can be improved, if this CO2 off-gas is turned into a product through our CO2 liquefaction and purification units.

Every loading and unloading operation of fuels in storage terminals can potentially release vapors into the atmosphere.
