Odour Treatment in the Biogas Sector

By Van Dyk Recycling Solutions

Tailored Solutions for Biogas Facilities

In the biogas sector, odour treatment solutions must be carefully designed to match each facility’s specific pollutants and conditions.

Factors such as anaerobic or aerobic digestion processes, particle and dust presence, gas concentration, and humidity are crucial in determining the most effective approach. Addressing these variables permits efficient and sustainable biogas production while minimizing environmental impact.

Managing Odour Challenges in Biogas Production

With extensive experience in biogas facilities, Centriair has developed a deep understanding of the sector’s odour control challenges.

Biogas plants handle a variety of inputs, including organic waste, manure, and sludge, all of which can generate strong odours for the workers and surrounding communities.

Our expertise lies in designing solutions for co-digestion plants, though municipal sludge treatment facilities also benefit from our odour control technologies.

Every project begins with a detailed analysis in collaboration with the client.

By assessing feedstock types, gas compositions, and output specifications, we develop customized solutions that ensure optimal efficiency and environmental compliance standards.

Horsens Bioenergi: A Successful Odour Control Implementation

One notable example of our work is the Horsens Bioenergi turnkey facility in Horsens, Denmark.

Since being commissioned in 2014, this plant has seamlessly integrated into its environment, operating without complaints due to its comprehensive odour management system.

Since installing our ColdOx system, which was specifically designed to handle the unique composition of gases produced at the site, the facility has maintained a perfect odour control record.

The solution is fully expandable, allowing adjustments as gas compositions and flow rates evolve.

It has a capacity of 240,000 tonnes annually, sourced from manure, slaughterhouse waste and food waste.

The biogas utilization of the plant is gas recovery and injection into the local natural gas network.

By implementing tailored, high-performance odour treatment solutions, Centriair continues to aid growth in the biogas sector while ensuring environmental responsibility and community acceptance.
