NorthEast Biogas systems are constructed from high grade stainless steel or specially formulated, interlocking concrete panels, in an above ground, modular design. The volume ranges from 200 to 20,000 cubic meters.
The modular construction facilitates the custom manufacture of individual plants designed to meet local requirements and the availability of input substrates. A typical biogas plant might consist of a large digester tank with additional substrate storage tanks, pumps and agitators, plus systems for process monitoring and control.
All systems are fully automated and the digestion process is closely monitored to ensure control and optimization. Using a proprietary SCADA system, all inputs are measured and activities in the digester are monitored. Using a series of sensors to check key variables including gas quality, temperature and PH levels an operator is able to optimize the digestion process to maximize the biogas yield. Proactive monitoring enables process and substrate adjustments to be made and comparative data gathered from similar projects enables trending to be used to predict the process and allow proactive management.
The roof is a double skin, floating dome constructed from ultraviolet resistant material with a guaranteed 20 year life. As biogas is produced in the digester the internal membrane pushes against air trapped between the two roof layers to provide adequate room for gas storage and to provide a constant pressure which enables the gas to flow out to the generator.
In a typical biogas operation the biogas will be burned in a generator (gen set) to produce electricity and heat. NorthEast Biogas uses gen sets supplied by leading manufacturers including Dreyer and Bosse and Jenbacher (www.jenbacher.com).
