EnviTec Biogas’s Slovak rep says methane production of plant is 70% food waste

In Slovakia, the team at the Czech Service subsidiary of EnviTec Biogas AG announced the completion of the first gas upgrading plant in Slovakia. “Our EnviThan plant in Bierovce, Slovakia, has just successfully injected biomethane into the local gas grid,” reports Stefan Laumann, Head of Gas Upgrading at EnviTec Biogas. 

The EnviThan gas upgrading plant, which has a capacity of 449 Nm3/h of biomethane, was installed together with a raw gas treatment system at an existing biogas plant. The input material in Bierovce consists of 70% food waste and organic industrial waste, poultry manure, and corn and grass silage. The project is owned by ENERGE s.r.o. “With this plant, our customer aims to expand its portfolio of flexible electricity supplies for local grid operators,” says Miroslav Kováčik, head of the Czech EnviTec subsidiary.

EnviTec was able to convince ENERGE s.r.o. not only with its long-standing technical expertise in the EnviThan membrane technology for gas upgrading, developed in collaboration with Evonik Industries, but also – and most importantly – with its logistical efficiency. The Czech subsidiary of EnviTec Service s.r.o. is conveniently located in Velké Meziříčí, Czech Republic, directly on the D1 motorway between Prague and Brno. This will enable quick delivery of spare parts and also save money by maintenance done by our experienced Czech-Slovak EnviTec Service team.
