Wisconsin Rapids WI (SPX) Mar 25, 2010 Energy Composites has completed fabrication and testing of its first hydrogen sulfide scrubber vessel for use in desulfurization of biogas. The 54,000 gallon scrubber tank, manufactured for BioGasclean, A/S, the Danish leader in biogas technology, represents ECC's entry into this important and rapidly-growing segment of the cleantech industry. "We value our evolving relationship with BioGasclean," noted Sam Fairchild, Energy Composites' CEO. "We want to help drive their success in the North American market. Biogas vessels will be an important product line for ECC - the biogas industry is growing at 20 - 30% annually in Europe, and biogas is quickly becoming an important source of energy in North America over the next few years. Methane, when cleaned of sulfur impurities, will deliver 400 - 500% more power than other hydrocarbon gases. BioGasclean is the world leader in removing those sulfur impurities, enabling the use of methane derived from wastewater and other sources in gas-fired turbines and engines. This tank represents the first delivery out our seven figure dollar biogas proposal pipeline, and we are confident in our ability to turn the production of biogas vessels into a substantial value creator for our shareholders." ECC fabricated the 14-foot diameter, 47-foot long tank for installation at an existing wastewater treatment facility. The biogas system will produce 4.2 megawatts of energy, using methane extracted from the wastewater. The scrubber will ensure that the energy produced will not generate sulfur-based emissions or SO2 residues. ECC is also outfitting the vessel with specialty fittings supplied by BioGasclean, including the company's Quick Sludge Removal system. Jamie Mancl, ECC's founder and President, said that "Working with BioGasclean has been a terrific experience - the experts there are clearly driving innovation in biogas production. We are fully committed to BioGasclean's success in North America, and we look forward to a long and productive relationship." Lars Henriksen, BioGasclean A/S's Project Manager, said, "I am very satisfied with ECC's performance on this first tank. Jamie and his production team delivered what they promised on time, within budget, and with full function. We will get this first tank installed and working, and then turn our attention to growing our North American market with ECC."

Biogas Plant Markets Finally On The UpswingLondon, UK (SPX) Mar 24, 2010 The German biogas plants market plunged 80 per cent in 2008 pushed by the close succession of the global financial crisis, rising energy crops prices, and the revision of the German Renewable Energy law (EEG). However, because the German biogas market accounted for nearly 70 per cent (1 billion USD) of the global/European total in 2009, Germany will likely remain the key market arena for biogas ... read more |
