Start of construction for two new biogas plants in France

Lohne, 07 November 2016 - Another chapter was added to the success story of innovative gas upgrading technology EnviThan in France in late October, as construction started on two biogas plants to mark the further expansion of Germany's EnviTec Biogas AG in Europe's largest biogas market.

In Senlis, Picardy region, a 130 Nm³/h gas upgrading plant is being constructed together with Valois Energie SAS. When completed, three agriculturalists with arable farming businesses will operate the plant jointly with a mixture of agricultural waste, straw, catch crops and sugar beet pulp. EnviTec Anlagenbau also faced new challenges in this construction project: 'Our customers' plant is located close to the historically important town of Senlis, so our very first task here was to satisfy the local authorities' architectural regulations,' explains Christian Ernst, Managing Director of the EnviTec Biogas branch office in France.

The biogas all-rounder's second new construction project is in Normandy. Here, the operator is a family-owned waste management company in Etréville. Vitaligaz SAS will be expanding its existing 1 MW EnviTec plant with a 360 Nm³/h gas upgrading unit, which will be operated using waste from the family's own business. 'The 1 MW plant went online back in 2010 and we'll be expanding this system in two phases: after completing the construction of an additional digester, we'll then add the gas upgrading unit,' Ernst continues. The challenge in this project is connecting the plant to a high-pressure network running at 67 bar, notes the plant engineering expert: 'This means we need to draw up a very detailed set of plans and our site management has to be perfect.'
