Applications
- Anaerobic digestion plants: boosting biogas from the digester to a flare, or to cleaning/desulphurisation/dewatering before power, heat or upgrading
- Landfill sites: creating vacuum in extraction wells and positive pressure towards flares, CHP or upgrading
- Palm oil mills: conveying biogas from digestion of empty fruit bunches, press fibre and decanter cake to flares or generators
- Breweries, starch and food plants with anaerobic wastewater treatment and biogas recovery
