The Preseco Biogass Process
Preseco provides biogas plants for both industrial and agricultural applications.
Their industrial biogas plants are based upon their own patented Anaerobic Digestion Accelerator technology.
Preseco appreciates that Anaerobic digestion generally works most effectively when used to process energy-rich biowaste. These include fats and animal proteins. These substances also have the highest energy production potential.
Preseco industrial biogas plants fulfill EU requirements on hygiene and bio-safety and they also produce green energy, making them eligible for carbon emissions trading.
Preseco agri biogas plants are designed particularly for animal slurry and WWTP sludge processing. They are modular systems and can easily be transported to almost any location and set up in a very short time. Each module has a high capacity and the plants are described as also easily expandable.
Cast Study: Integrated Abbattoir Waste and Wastewater Anaerobic Digestion Plant for the Municipality of Malvik, Norway
We always like to provide case studies, wherever we can, to exemplify each company’s capability, and have compiled the following case study from Preseco’s Press Releases.
Slaughterhouse Waste Can Make a Great Anaerobic Digestion Plant Feedstock
The Norwegians do not need telling this. It has been reported that with the planned completion of a new Biogas Plant during autumn 2009 almost all waste and wastewater from the biggest private slaughterhouse in Norway will be treated in an integrated waste solution.
The Preseco Oy Environmental Technology company has announced that the plant is the first of its kind. It will be a first because of the combination of sustainable technologies which they will bring together in one project uniquely integrating biogas, composting and wastewater treatment plants.
Only a small amount of the highest-risk waste will be treated off site. All the rest will be disposed safely on site with no doubt a high conversion rate into compost or energy products.
In December the company also won the National INNOFINLAND award for this project. The award was given for an innovative and novel turnkey waste management plant solution in Norway. The award was handed out on 16th of December in Helsinki by The President of the Republic , Mrs. Tarja Halonen.
The plant will have the capacity to process 20,000 tonnes of slaughterhouse waste, 10,000 tonnes of food waste and 115,000m3 of wastewater per year. The products which will be created from these wastes will be compost, biogas and clean water. We are told that nothing will be left-over to be transported or purified elsewhere. That is except for small amounts of high risk waste, already referred to above.
The facility will be delivered to operator Malvik Biogas, which is owned by the Municipality of Malvik and the food company Spis Grilstad. In the contract Preseco has also been engaged to provide the architectural design for the works.
One of the advantages stressed is the fact that the new plant will make it possible to treat biowaste from the community without unnecessary transportation. As transportation is environmentally damaging due to its use of fuel and its effect in increased traffic congestion.
The biogas produced will be combusted to provide heat energy for not only the slaughterhouse but also a new urban development to be built near the plant. The £16M investment was programmed to be progressively commissioned before the end of 2008.
The Managing Director of Preseco has hailed the plant as the beginning of a new generation of local, integrated waste management solutions for the food industry. It is also an example where partnerships between public and private bodies can yield advantages that neither could provide by working alone.
The possibility of integrating all biowaste treatment locally became of interest for future owner/operator of the plant Spis Grilstad when the company decided to locate its abattoir in Malvik
The company has also stated that the integrated waste solution will be without odour and it will comply all new EU and local regulatory requirements including staff safety. It will also be helping to preserve the environment. All involved are reported to be confident that it will provide the best possible waste solution for the area.
