In May 2014, we commissioned an anaerobic digestion (AD) plant in the South West of England. Together with our technology supplier BioConstruct, we installed a 500kW Jenbacher CHP inside a 40ft container. The plant consists of two fermenters that can hold 1800 cubic metres each, and one 4200 cubic metre storage tank.
Both maize and grass are grown on-site which are utilised as the predominant feedstock (80% maize silage, 15% gras and 5% slurry).
In November 2016, the AD plant was further expanded with the installation of a second 250kW CHP. Additionally, a dryer was installed to further reduce the carbon footprint of the plant. In the same year, we introduced ADvance biochar and silphie from our partner company 4CleanTech (www.4-cleantech.com).
Biogas Clapton continues to manage and service this AD plant and its CHPs.
