Type: COCCUS\u00ae Titan 2.7 MW Gas, with upgrading to biomethane with a capacity of 5.5 MW Gas, that also processes the biogas produced by a neighbouring plant<\/p>\n

Organic waste: a resource<\/h2><\/div>The biomethane plant in Gro\u00dfenl\u00fcder, near Fulda, in the Hesse region of Germany, was built by Biothan for the disposal of the wet waste collected in the city of Fulda and its surrounding area.<\/p>\n
In to obtain the special bonus provided envisaged by the German legislation, the plant is fed, in co-digestion, partly with bovine slurry. This is why the COCCUS\u00ae Titan technology was chosen.<\/p>\n
The plant is completed by a gas purification system with PSA technology built by Schmack Carbotech, which converts in biomethane not just the biogas produced by this plant, but also the biogas originating from an adjacent second plant, which processes waste particularly rich in branches and woody materials.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
