BIR BV (Biological Industrial Residues Processing) is a collaboration between Waterstromen BV from Lochem and GMB BioEnergie from Zutphen. In the installation at the Lichtenvoorde site, industrial organic residual flows are converted into biogas [/ minti_tooltip]. The biogas is converted into green energy and heat. In addition to utilization in the biological processes of IWZI Lichtenvoorde, the heat is also used to heat a swimming pool, a nursing home and a town hall.
Techniques used
- 4 receiving buffers (150 m³ / piece)
- 2 digesters (800 m³ / piece) + 2 post-digestion [/ minti_tooltip] (200 m³ / piece)
- Thickening digestate with recirculation
- Gas buffer (300 m³)
- Biogas utilization in CHP’s
- Discharge (dewatered) digestate composting (possibly after dewatering)
- Heat network: supplying heat to a.o. swimming pool and town hall
Design data
- Capacity 40,000 tons / yr organic residual flows
- Installed CHP capacity 1.25 MWe
- Biogas production 5 million m³ / yr
