Biodiesel Biogas and Cogeneration
BIOFUELS are the
products of the fermentation and distillation of BIOMASS.
In particular, BIOGAS is produced using the humid part of the
citizens’ rubbish or the animal dejections. In this last
case, the technology now allows to realise simpler and cheaper
systems than before.
BIOGAS is generally composed by METHANE and a small percentage
of rare gas, so that it can be used for those typical applications
of methane. If it is properly purified, BIOGAS can be even put
into the city methane pipelines. However, it doesn’t happen
because of the energy necessary for the gas purification.

VERY IMPORTANT: in
the combustion of BIOFUELS (BIOGAS included) the CO² produced
is at the so called “zero balance”, i.e.
there’s the emission of the same quantity of CO² that
plants and animals have absorbed during their life. Therefore,
the environmental impact is much lower in comparison
with the traditional fuels.
Another ecological advantage of the use of BIOGAS is that
of preventing the introduction in the troposphere of the
methane naturally emitted by organic biomass in a state
of decomposition (animal dejections, organic remains, vegetal
biomass, ext.).
Indeed methane is one of the most dangerous “greenhouse
gases”, therefore combustion is preferred.

The programme of ENERECO srl
In cooperation with some companies, leaders in the production of such equipments,
ENERECO srl is able to design and install “turn-key” systems for
the treatment of biomass and the use of biofuels:
“WASTE-NRG” SYSTEMS
WASTE-NRG systems proposed
by ENERECO srl use the organic part of waste
for the production
of biogas. A third of the waste daily produced
is organic and its elimination in the dumps
or its incineration have a lot of disadvantages
from the environmental point of view. Using
systems with hermetic reactors in thermic processes
and creating, therefore, the anaerobic fermentation
of the organic fraction, biogas can be produced.
According to the composition of the organic
waste, about 100-130m³ of biogas per ton
can be produced, which correspond to about
70 litres of gasoline. |

“BIO-NRG” SYSTEMS
BIO-NRG systems proposed by ENERECO srl produce
biogas from animal dejections (cattle, pigs
and chicken-dung). They are dimensioned according
to the needs of the customer and above all
to the number of animals bred. The biogas obtained
can be used for the production of electric
and thermic energy thanks to COGENERATION systems.
The mixture obtained after the treatment is
an excellent fertilizer, it is odourless and
it contains no dangerous components for the
environment. |
