Biopower alternatives harness methane gas and turn it into efficient and environmentally friendly energy to power agricultural and manufacturing facilities. In some cases, they also create a source of income: when energy production exceeds usage, the excess can be sold to the utility companies.
In early biopower systems, methane was produced by recreating the process that occurs naturally in a dairy cow’s digestion system. This digester technology captures methane from fermentable animal and organic waste products and then transfers that gas through stainless steel piping to a bladder for storage. From there, it is used as fuel for generating heat and electricity. Today’s systems can be supplemented by food waste or other organic waste, making them ideal for operations that tend to generate large amounts of organic refuse such as food-product manufacturers.
Our experience with innovative biopower systems enables us to present a full range of design options from conception to completion. Rather than contacting multiple agencies with narrow specialties, our clients can rely on us to provide the necessary expertise to present a complete, comprehensive, and convenient range of possibilities.
