Gerweler, Managing Director of WELTEC BIOPOWER.“ The decision not to use grass silage was a conscious one, so that we would not be competing with the livestock industry,” Patrick Meade continues. A combined heat and power plant( CHP) installed on site generates around 1 megawatt of power for the operation of the plant and supplies heat for the digesters.
1,300 m 3 of biomethane / hour Three rotating long-axis agitators and three submersible motor agitators in the tanks support the effective digestion of the substrate mix. The biogas is collected in the digesters with double-membrane roofs and processed into biomethane using membrane technology. It then enters the public gas grid 20 metres away via the feed-in point. Once commissioned, the plant will produce around 1,300 standard cubic metres of biomethane per hour – equivalent to around 110 GWh of energy per year. The annual output of 65,000 tonnes of digestate is stored in a covered concrete lagoon and delivered to farmers separately as liquid and solid fractions.
Duplex stainless steel 1.4062 / 1.4162 is used in the liquid zone, and 1.4462 in the gas zone of the tanks.
By 2030: 5.7 terawatt-hours of biomethane per year“ The fact that German manufacturer WELTEC BIOPOWER was awarded the contract to build the largest plant in Ireland to date was due not only to the technical advantages mentioned above, but also to the short delivery times,” emphasises Managing Director Patrick Meade. This will also enable Ireland to achieve its ambitious expansion targets for biomethane production: the government aims to produce 5.7 terawatthours( TWh) of biomethane annually by 2030. To achieve this, existing biogas plants for biomethane processing would have to be expanded, and technically mature plants such as the one built by Evergreen in Kildare would have to be planned and constructed.
