ALL ABOUT BIOGAS

BIOGAS from WASTE and WASTE WATER TREATMENT  

Prof. Dr. E.J.Nyns, the expert of our publication, also called "the Pope" of Biogas, used to say "with Biogas alone we can power the whole world". How true this is!
- Nature produces Biogas everywhere.
- Where there is organic matter solid or liquid, the rotting process produces gas.
- Where there are humans or animals there is waste, which produces gas.
It is only a matter of capturing it, storing it and use it as a clean fuel to produce power or heat.
It is not a complicated process: it's a natural process!
The raw material is not only free, but it usually costs money to process it to get rid of it, where it could be used to provide clean energy.

In China there have been millions of small (and large) Biogas plants built, sometimes in each home in the country, and there are millions more being built. They've used it for centuries to cook and heat themselves.

The worldmarket in Biogas plants was about 2 billion € in 2006 and expected to increase over 25 billion € by 2020, particularly developed by Municipalities, Industry and Agriculture. In Germany and Denmark practically ALL the large animal breeding farms have intalled a Biogas plant.

When there is a collectivity of people or animals, there is equivalent waste.
Sewers are full of raw material: some cities have used it to produce the fuel for the public transport. It is the case for Lille in France, for example, running all their busses and public vehicles on Biogas, saving, millions on both fossil fuel and pollution of the town, let alone the cost of sewer processing which has become an income instead.

Farmers in many countries have collected the animal waste to produce their own power together with entire communities of houses around the farm: in Italy, in the region producing the famous Parma ham, there are lots of pigfarms. Thousands of tons of pig slurry is collected in a network of pipe-lines in the area and processed at a central plant, redistributing its biogas and power production to the entire region.

In Australia, Ballarat, a pigfarm of 30.000 pigs provides slurry to produce enough energy to power 400 homes, provide fertilizer for the fields and fuel for the vehicles.

Many more of those example projects could be applied all over the world.
The plants are not costly compared to the ROI (Return on Investment).
They function with little or no attendance and are definitely one of the most efficient and low-cost systems for processing organic waste, even industrial waste or waste water, agricultural waste etc...

We are happy to say that our unique publication with lots of illustrations and videos, clear axplanations, calculations, hundreds of example projects (many with costs) are our best selling master piece.
It has conquered the world of Universities, industry, engineering companies, consultants, public authorities etc...
Its use can save large investments of surveys, research and is a perfect training material that builds experts.
There are almost 10.000 multimedia screens. It's all in there!
