4. What is bio-gas ?
“Product” of natural process of decomposing
of organic material in the absence of O2
Biological process that convers
carbohydrates, fats, proteins into methane
CH4 and CO2
via Anaerobic Digestion (AD)
10. Ibert USP
• Process organic & non-organic waste
• Small waste quantities from 5tons/day, on-site
• Plant has small footprint (25 / 30 m)
• Production of biogas
• Modular integrated system
• Output from >12 kW(el) >20 kW(therm)
• Imbedded self-usage less then 8% of total power
production
• Utilization of “waste product”
11. Reference sites South Africa
Plant #1 Meat to Market Jan Kempdorp
600m3
AD, 135 kW CHP, 15 – 20 t/day slaughter waste
17. Plant #7 Sucro Power (KZN/Durban)
1 x 200m3
AD, 16kW CHP, 30 t/day Napier Gras
18. Project realisation - Next steps
• Conduct a on-site ‘waste to energy audit”
• Qualify & Quantify ‘WTE” potential and best
technology to be used
• Develop a pre-feasibility report of current energy
usage cost and risks
• Present go / no-go and preferred business model
• Conclude contracts
• Start process
• Design, build, commission
• Operate via M&OM agreement
