What is biogas

• Biogas is a natural decomposing of process of decomposing of bio-waste in the absence of oxygen. The process is referred to as anaerobic (absence of oxygen) digestion. And it is a bio-logical process that converts bio-degradable material like; grass, fruits, vegetables, meets/ proteins, vats & oils, food-waste, and all manure into methane and CO2
•  By creating a stable environment (bio-reactor) with constant heat and ‘required quantities of food” Anaerobic Digestion occurs producing methane gas CH4 and CO2. CH4 makes-up around 60% of the mix and CO2 and various other gasses the balance.
• It is critical to reduce the sulphur in the mix as this is very harm-full for all internal combustion machines and burning apparatus

Why biogas
It offers the:

• opportunity to convert your current “waste management problem” into an income/ savings generating solution,
• Solution to process of bio-degradable waste on-site:
• Reducing :
  • Carbon foot print
  • Waste problems
  • Odours and un-wanted insects
  • “Manure” dumps
  • odours from settlement dams
  • the use of un-wanted non bio-degradable chemicals in waste management process
• Improve “waste water” quality
• Improve “green status” of overall plant
• Produce bio-gas that can be used to:
  • Run a Combined Heat and power generator (CHP) generating you own reliable electricity supply and hot water
  • Run gas boilers from methane
  • clean and use methane as alternative to diesel fuel

Use of biogas
Once produced biogas can be used for the following:

• generation of electricity and heat
• replacement of LPG for heating and cooking
• as a replacement of diesel in internal combustion engines
• operation of steam boiler
• operate chillier from heat recovery
