Biogas Power Generation
In the process of treating waste, especially high-strength wastewater, one efficient method is to adopt anaerobic process which produces Biogas as a by-product. Biogas contains around 65% of methane, which can be burnt to produce electrical power or steam. Typical wastewater treatment system that incorporates Biogas generation are as following:
Utilization of Biogas Energy can be in the form of:
- Electrical Power Generation using Gas Engine;
- Production of Steam using Boiler with Biogas Burner;
- Compressed Bio-Methane, which can be used as natural gas substitute
