Wastewater T.P. Biogas Utilization

The City is interested in a sales agreement contract for the sale of WWTP biogas, and this RFP is requesting proposals potentially covering a large spectrum of projects which could range from 1) purchase of the raw biogas at the fence line, at one end of the spectrum,  to 2) cleaning the raw biogas to produce clean biomethane for injection into a natural gas pipeline, at the other end of the spectrum, or 3) any other beneficial proposed projects in between, including proposals combining City biogas with other area biogas sources. The City would also consider proposals including cogeneration of electricity and/or waste heat [utilization by the City].

Nation’s largest biogas plant inaugurated

Plant in Be’er Tuviya will be able to provide electricity equivalent to the consumption needs of more than 6,000 homes.

Local and national government officials in Be’er Tuviya on Monday evening inaugurated Israel’s largest biogas plant, which will produce usable electricity from dairy and chicken farm waste.

In addition to providing a needed supplement of electricity to the region, the new plant will also help address ongoing concerns about water resource contamination issues as well as smells emanating from dairy barns and chicken coops, according to a statement from the Be’er Tuviya Regional Council.

Put that garbage to good use

Experts want apartments’ welfare associations to try out an eco-friendly manner of managing garbage by setting up biogas plants on the premises.

‘IDEAL PLACES’

“Apartments are ideal places to set up biogas plants as they will have a network in the form of residents’ association besides a common space to set up these plants,” observes University of Agricultural Sciences-Bangalore Vice-Chancellor K. Narayana Gowda.

This will not only help take care of garbage disposal to a large extent, but also get them returns in the form of either biogas/electricity or manure, says Mr. Gowda.
