Biogas Power Plant with Cogeneration
A few days ago, one customer consulted biogas power plant with cogeneration, then what is biogas, what is combined heat and power?
Biogas is a gas that is formed by anaerobic microorganisms. These microbes feed off carbohydrates and fats, producing methane and carbon dioxides as metabolic waste products. Biogas is considered to be a renewable fuel as it originates from organic material that has been created from atmospheric carbon by plants grown within recent growing seasons.
Benefits of biogas: production of renewable power through combined heat and power cogeneration; disposal of problematic wastes; diversion of waste from landfill; production of a low-carbon fertilizer; avoidance of landfill gas escape and reduction in carbon emissions.
A combined heat and power (CHP) plant is typically a reciprocating gas engine that uses the energy in the gas to drive a crank shaft. The crank shaft turns an alternator to produce electricity. Heat is released during the gas combustion process. This heat can be recovered during cogeneration in order to maximise the heating value of the system. Biogas power plant with cogeneration (combined heat and power or cogeneration) is the utilisation of biogas, typically in a biogas engine, for the production of electricity and useful heat, at high efficiency.
