About Biogass Renewables

¤ Biogass Renewables Pty Ltd (Biogass) (www.biogass.com.au) is an Australian private company specializing in the design, construction, commissioning and long-term support of anaerobic digestion (AD) plants and associated energy recovery projects.

¤ Biogass’s focus is on stable, mature-technology, in-vessel biological processes converting organic materials and wastes into energy and biofertiliser.

¤ Biogass has the capacity to build turnkey solutions for the delivery of electricity, heat, biogas, bio methane (to mains natural gas standards), and compressed natural gas.

Anaerobic Digestion Process

Organic Waste

Typical Plant Layout

Alternative Outputs Biogass AD plants can be configured to produce:

¤ power (biogas generator)

¤ heat (biogas boiler, CHP, direct biogas – 65% methane)

¤ natural gas (97% methane)

¤ Compressed Natural Gas (drop-in fuel – legacy generators or transport fuel)

¤ or a combination of all of these.

Alternative Outputs (Example)

50,000 tonnes per annum of food waste at 150m3/tonne of biogas has the capacity to produce a mix of:

1. Biogas to power a 600KW genset 24/7 (as well as 660KW of thermal output) to power a large commercial site, plus

2. 324m3/hour of Natural Gas (CH4) for compression to CNGwhich could displace the equivalent of $3M/year in diesel if used in static engines or a transport fleet.
