From ECOTEC we are proud to participate in a new milestone for sustainability and environmental efficiency, in a biomethanization plant in France, which generates energy from local farmers' waste.
Project Details:
ECOTEC has implemented gas treatment systems in two independent treatment lines: one for odor treatment and one for biological desulfurization of biogas for upgrading.
In the first, biotrickling and biofilter systems have been used to address odors, with an efficiency of 90% and 98% respectively. In the second, a bioscrubber has been installed for the removal of high hydrogen sulfide (H2S) content with an efficiency of 98%.
In the following, we will go deeper into the operational data and performance of the two installations:
