Biogas plants / Biogas plants EcosBIOGAS – energy from organic substances Production of energy from biogas, as a renewable source of energy is an important one, as it contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. Biogas is the product of methane bacteria metabolic processes. It is therefore created by the boiling or the decomposition of organic substances without the presence of oxygen. Under the influence of enzymes and yeast, the initial mass decomposes into simpler compounds. It contains anywhere from 50 to 70 percent methanol and from 30 to 40 percent of carbon dioxide, while also containing sulphur hydrogen, ammonia and nitrogen. Almost all organic materials (plant matter, silages, etc.) can be processed into biogas. The only condition is that they must contain a sufficient share of carbon. The processing of organic substances into biogas has been an environmentally friendly means of acquiring useful energy for decades. With biogas, which can be distributed through gas pipelines or utilised as a fuel for combustion in specially modified motors with internal combustion, we can additionally produce a high quality natural fertilizer from the production process. This fertilizer does not have an unpleasant smell and is not harmful to plants. Fertilizing with it also allows a decreased utilisation of chemical materials in farming. Biogas is one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly energy sources. When it is burned, its emissions produce less greenhouse gases than plants use for their growth through photosynthesis, with which they produce oxygen and utilise CO2. The burning of biogas therefore, doesn't contribute to the increase of greenhouse emissions in the atmosphere, as opposed to fossil fuels. This is because the burning of biogas CO2 is neutral, as it contains the most methane (up to 75 percent). When burned, this gas breaks down into carbon dioxide and water vapour, which means that the greenhouse effect, as compared to direct methane emissions into the atmosphere, is decreased 15 times over. Otherwise, the calorific value of biogas on m3 is approximately 6 kWh. There are over 5 million devices for the production of biogas in the world today. Within the European Union, the production of biogas is the most developed in Denmark, in Germany and in Switzerland. In these countries, modern equipment is utilised to produce electric and heating energy. Simpler forms of biogas plants are known in China and India as well, where they serve to produce energy for cooking and lighting.  BIOGAS PLANT LENDAVA – basic information The Lendava biogas plant is a mesophillic biogas plant that runs on renewable sources of energy, especially of the closed variety. This means, that all facilities of the biogas plant are appropriately sealed and that all processes run in enclosed spaces. The supervision of all processes is regularly performed by all of the state inspections with jurisdiction under the purview of the Ministry of the Environment, as well as by other public institutions with jurisdiction. The biogas plant is made up of many components:
The substrate, which forms after fermentation has concluded, contains microbiologically indigestible substances, which contain minerals and microbiological biomass, as well as nutrients and serve as an excellent natural fertilizer. The energy released through the burning of the carbon dioxide, is theoretically equal to that released when biogas is burned. The energy acquired is equal to that utilised during photosynthesis. After many years of experience abroad and numerous innovations with our technological equipment, we as engineers have developed the most optimal solutions for the establishment of our biogas plants ECOS, in cooperation with our customers. We can confirm this further with references from our custmers. Services of Company ECOS:
