Biogas plants revamping
Alongside the design and construction of new plants, we are specialized in the revamping of existing biogas plants.
How biogas plant revamping works
Biogas plant revamping includes a series of technical modifications designed to optimise the anaerobic digestion process and reconfigure the plant for biomethane production.
A successful revamping requires an integrated approach across all plant systems, particularly when production continuity must be maintained during on-site works. The key technical pillars of plant revamping can be grouped into four core disciplines:
Detailed engineering
Detailed engineering
This stage defines the required plant upgrades in detail, optimises biomass flows and identifies the most suitable technological solutions to ensure high performance and long-term reliability.
Civil works
Civil works
This covers all structural works, including the construction of tanks for anaerobic digestion or storage.
Electromechanical engineering
Electromechanical engineering
This includes the selection, installation and integration of pumps, mixers, compressors and other mechanical and electrical equipment essential to proper plant operation and energy-consumption optimisation.
Process automation and control
Process automation and control
This area covers the development and implementation of supervisory control systems, field instrumentation and plant management software. These solutions enable real-time monitoring of the anaerobic digestion process, automatic adjustment of key operating parameters and rapid response to process deviations, helping to maximise biomethane output.
The strategic value of plant revamping
Revamping a biogas plant is a strategic option for companies operating CHP plants whose incentive period is coming to an end and that have a stable biomass supply, as it makes it possible to:
-
Extend the plant’s service life, maximising the value of the investment already made
- Increase energy efficiency through the adoption of more advanced technologies
- Maximise the value of the available biomass by converting it into biomethane for transport or other energy applications
- Access new market opportunities, in line with developments in the energy sector and the transition to renewable energy sources.
However, the economic viability of the investment depends on several key factors:
- Access to incentive schemes, a key factor in ensuring the plant’s long-term profitability and supporting the payback of conversion works
- Proximity to the biomethane gas-grid injection point, which directly affects connection costs and the cost of transporting the gas produced.
