Biogas Flare Systems and Safety: Ensuring Secure and Efficient Biogas Plants

By Ariş Enerji

Biogas plants rely heavily on the safe handling of produced gases to prevent accidents, environmental harm, and operational downtime.

Among the critical safety components, the biogas flare system plays a vital role by safely combusting excess or unusable biogas. This prevents the buildup of explosive gases and reduces harmful methane emissions by converting methane to carbon dioxide, a less potent greenhouse gas.

Ariş Enerji’s flare systems are designed with safety as the utmost priority. Equipped with advanced features such as automatic pilot ignition, flame detectors, and anti-backfire protection, these systems ensure continuous, reliable operation.

The flare stacks are engineered to handle variable gas flow rates while maintaining optimal combustion efficiency, crucial for preventing unburned gas release. In addition to flare systems, Ariş Enerji offers a comprehensive range of equipment that enhances plant safety and efficiency:

• Gas Dryers prevent moisture from entering gas engines, reducing corrosion and extending engine life. By removing impurities like hydrogen sulfide and siloxanes, they improve overall system performance.

•Air-Cooled Biogas Dryers reduce the cooling load on chillers, enabling up to 40% energy savings and supporting environmentally friendly plant operations.

• Desulfurization Units remove corrosive hydrogen sulfide from biogas using a proprietary chemical-physical process, protecting equipment and reducing harmful emissions.

• Gas Holders provide controlled biogas storage with precise pressure regulation and safety valves, stabilizing gas supply to engines and minimizing maintenance costs.

• Heat Exchangers, including double-pipe models, recover waste heat from exhaust gases to support heating needs such as pasteurization and greenhouse warming, optimizing energy use. • Pasteurization Systems ensure hygienic treatment of digestate by maintaining regulated temperatures, preventing environmental contamination and complying with regulations.

Together, these systems create an integrated, safe, and efficient biogas plant ecosystem.

The cohesion of flare safety features with optimized drying, gas storage, and heat recovery solutions positions Ariş Enerji as a reliable partner for sustainable biogas energy production.
