Description
Recently, TEICAN has developed an innovative technology called “MULTIBIOGAS BIFASE (MB)” which allows for the treatment of organic agricultural and farming waste in a more efficient way in order to produce biogas to be used in combined heat and power plants. This technology has been tested in a preliminary phase in a pilot plant located at a dairy farm in Cantabria, Spain. Due to the long time required to do tests in real conditions (between 35-60 days), what is required are further tests in the pilot plant to fine tune the technology previous to its implantation in the market. The main goal is to improve the MB technology prior to its launch on the market. EXPECTED RESULTS - Further information about anaerobic co-digestion within MB process. - Setting up the optimal operating parameters. - More efficient biogas production process. - New control system for the process. BENEFICIARIES - Intensive cattle farms. - Agri-food industry. - Companies involved in sludge energy recovery from sewage treatment plants.
Summary of project results
This Project was conceived in response to the needs of the dairy industry. They demanded new technologies to manage the manure produced in intensive farming in an environmentally friendly way that met the legal requirements in place. Having done this Project has allowed us to improve the “Multibiogas Bifase” process, developed by TEICAN. The consequences of this have been an increase in the production of methane and its quality for its use as fuel. Initial goals were successfully reached. However, more time would have been desired due to the complexity of the tests. Thanks to this project TEICAN has an advantage over its competitors, due to this novel and proven technology. In the future TEICAN wants to take this Project’s results, which were viable, from the pilot plant to an industrial scale, where the parameters of this technology would be perfectly adaptable.
