Innovative Biogas Solutions to Revolutionize Energy Efficiency
New system maximizes renewable fuel use while maintaining consistent boiler output
Thermogenics, a leading provider of boiler lifecycle solutions in North America, has introduced a groundbreaking biogas enrichment system designed to help industrial facilities optimize their fuel use. This system allows industrial boilers to run on renewable biogas—sometimes referred to as digester gas—either exclusively or alongside natural gas. Perfectly suited for industries such as food and beverage processing and waste management, this innovation supports efficiency goals while markedly reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Seamless Integration for Efficient Operations
This new biogas enrichment technology can be tailored to meet the specific needs of customers that generate digester gas. Dean Johnson, the Director of Technical Services at Thermogenics, shares, "Our systems are now operating at 500 BHP using both natural gas and biogas. Properly conditioned biogas can provide a clean-burning, renewable energy source. It helps diminish emissions by capturing methane that would otherwise escape into the atmosphere." Adding insights, Ross Garland, CEO of Thermogenics, states, "We’re assisting our customers in turning waste into energy while ensuring reliable operations."
Flexible Solutions for Diverse Needs
Thermogenics offers two customized approaches for clients utilizing digester gas:
100% Biogas Firing
For facilities that produce considerable and consistent volumes of biogas—such as food and beverage processing plants—Thermogenics’ systems can be configured to operate entirely on renewable fuel.
Co-Burn Enrichment
For clients with smaller or inconsistent biogas supply, the system seamlessly blends natural gas with available biogas. Thermogenics establishes a baseline for the customer's production (for instance, 4,000 CFH) and automatically complements it with natural gas to sustain operational output at around 500 BHP. With this co-burn system, customers can maximize the utilization of their generated fuel while only incorporating natural gas when necessary.
This adaptability empowers customers to derive maximum value from their renewable fuel without undermining their operational performance. It's a win for both their financial outcomes and the environment.
Enhanced Efficiency with Key Benefits
The biogas enrichment system is optimized for whole-plant efficiency, delivering several key benefits:
- Maximizes use of renewable energy generated on-site
- Reduces reliance on fossil fuels while maintaining boiler performance
- Lowers methane emissions by capturing and combusting digester gas
- Supports ESG and sustainability targets, particularly in the food and beverage industry
- May qualify for government incentives or carbon credits varying by region.
