In Germany, Berliner Stadtreinigungsbetriebe (BSR) is relying on technology from the Rhineland and is delighted to be taking a decisive step towards environmental protection and climate neutrality with the biomethane plant from ETW Energietechnik GmbH in Moers. The full-service provider of biomethane plants and combined heat and power (CHP) plants has been awarded the contract for a plant that will process up to 700 Nm³/h of landfill gas into biomethane in the future. The plant concept was developed and planned by BSR in close cooperation with the planning office Rytec GmbH. Rytec brings extensive expertise in biogas production, biological and thermal waste treatment, energy technology and waste and landfill technology tot he project.
In order to minimise the external electricity requirements of the biomethane plant, ETW is also supplying a CHP unit for its own electricity supply, which is also operated with the off-gas from the processing plant. This increases the methane yield of the entire plant to over 95 percent.
