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

Waterstromen delivers customized industrial wastewater treatment installations
“Biogas is extracted from waste water at several Waterstromen locations and the biogas has a useful application after cleaning. In addition, nitrogen is converted efficiently and fertilizer is manufactured from nitrogen and phosphate. At each location, the treated waste water is discharged into the sewer, after which other components are disposed at a sewage treatment plant.”
