Producing biomethane from the anaerobic digestion of wastewater treatment sludge: this is the goal at the BioMethER demonstration plant in Roncocesi, Reggio Emilia, managed by IRETI.
Currently, part of the biogas flow is used to cover the heat demand of the anaerobic digestion plant itself, but the exceedence is flared. IREN's president Paolo Peveraro, is proud of this achievement which is "a step forward towards a circular approach in each of the processes in which IREN is involved".
After installation, the upgrading plant at Roncocesi waste water treatment plant is now undergoing a commissioning phase. Once operational, it will produce grid-standard biomethane.
This is a really good step by the company. This project is going to help a lot of people in so many ways. I think they should install more of these plants throughout the country.
