| There are many applications where biogas technology is used. A system designed by CH-Four Biogas can
Agricultural Digester Systems Anaerobic digestion technology has been used on European farms for over a century as a proven way to effectively treat manure while increasing its nutrient value as a land-applicable material. Since the early 20th century, biogas has also been used to produce electricity and heat, thus providing substantial economic benefits for farm operators. When processed in a CH-Four Biogas Inc. system, the manure produced by one cow in a single day is capable of generating approximately 2kWh of electricity per day. Similarly, one acre of corn has the potential to produce roughly 18 kWh in a single day. Municipal Waste-to-Energy Applications Anaerobic digestion and biogas technology can be used in many municipal and community-based environments. Whether using residential or commercial organic waste, sewage, energy crops or manure produced at local farms, anaerobic digestion can produce clean energy for local use by everyday consumers. Many cities, municipalities and communities around the world have taken advantage of this technology and are reaping the economic, environmental, and social benefits. CH-Four Biogas Inc. strives to create an environment where organic waste produced in the home and in commercial operations is diverted from landfills to a centralized anaerobic digester. Organic waste can be added to municipal sewage, which can be treated through the same process. The end result is enough biogas to - power thousands of homes, - provide the fuel for natural gas-powered public transit systems, - heat entire neighborhoods, - reduce greenhouse gas emissions, all the while discharging an effluent which is, in many cases, safe for land application as an effective organic fertilizer. Integrated Technology CH-Four Biogas Inc. technology can be effectively integrated with other renewable technologies, such as biodiesel and ethanol. In both cases, energy rich by-products of the rendering process can be incorporated and co-digested in an anaerobic digester. Not only is this a much more economically and environmentally favourable disposal method than sending the waste to landfills, the incorporation of these by-products can greatly increase the efficiency of biogas production. The energy and heat produced by a biogas system can then be used in the production of biodiesel and ethanol, thus closing the production-to- waste cycle. |
