Biogas Power Generation EXPERTISE

• End-to-End Solutions

  ESI assists a wide range of stakeholders in achieving their renewable energy goals including municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill, and anaerobic digester (AD) owners, operators, and developers; agricultural and waste industries; and renewable energy end-users including governments and utilities.
  
  Our expert in-house biogas utilization teams can deliver full engineering, procurement, and construction contractor services for complete end-to-end biogas processing and utilization facilities, including power generation, heat generation, and/or cooling systems—or can deliver standalone biogas power generation and biogas CHP solutions that can be integrated with existing biogas facilities and systems. We also routinely perform biogas-fueled power generation facility upgrades and expansions.

  

   

• Applications

  Biogas power plants can be used by farms and businesses to supply their own electricity, heating, and cooling, by employing a variety of technologies:
  
  • Biogas can be utilized for generating electricity through the use of microturbines, reciprocating (combustion) engines, gas turbines, or fuel cells. Biogas has proven itself as a reliable fuel for backup/standby systems, base load, peak shaving, and remote/off-grid power generation.
  
  • Biogas cogeneration or CHP (combined heat & power) utilizes the addition of heat recovery units to capture engine waste heat in the form of steam, hot water, or high temperature air.
  
  • Cooling can also be achieved in the form of cold water or cool air, with the addition of heat conversion adsorption chillers,
  
  • In some cases, high-output facilities produce enough gas to deliver excess generated power to the grid.
