New Generation Of Biogas Plants: Two-seasonal Working Mode And Higher Efficiency

PR Log (Press Release) – Oct 29, 2009 – Using the latest, cutting-edge technologies, “ZORG Ukraine” managed to launch a line of construction projects of biogas plants that function with nearly doubled efficiency in two-seasonal working mode. Company’s current projects, such as biogas plants in Babyn, Ukraine are known to be among the 20 world’s largest projects in the field. Offering the best expertise in the international bio-technology market, “ZORG Ukraine” gained its success due to competitive and flexible pricing strategy and its utmost dedication towards customer service enhancement.
   
At present, the company is working on a project of a biogas plant for a sugar factory “Babyn Tsukor” in Rivne region, Ukraine. During the first construction stage a plant with 3 reactors is going to be built, having the capacity of 4 millions m3 of gas per annum. Another 27 reactors are going to be built in two years to come (2009-2011). By the end of construction works, plant’s capacity will reach 40 millions m3 of biogas per annum, with the net cost of the purified gas being only 30$ for 1 000 of m3.  

Sugar plants have seasonal working mode (90-120 days). Taking into consideration this factor biogas equipment can be used in two seasons working mode. During sugar plant operational period biogas plant recycles sugar beet pulp and molasses and the rest of time it can recycle other waste products or energy crops like corn silage and sugar beet tops. Biogas can be used for vehicle fueling or accumulated for technological purposes as sugar plants gas consumption is very high. Using such mode biogas plant can be operated without standstills and new start-up.

As a rule sugar plants solve their waste problems by producing dry feed. Such production is energy consumptive and economically unfeasible. Biogas and bio-fertilizer production is more attractive in that respect. Plant energy demand can be covered at waste product expense. Bio-fertilizer can be used for soil enrichment and crop yield increase.
