Bioenergy

The Department of Bioenergy Plant Design combines both scientific and engineering expertise. Innovative technology development as well as the commercial realisation of projects in the field of biogas and biomethane production.

Our experts act as independent engineering service providers and undertake the planning of bioenergy projects such as agricultural and industrial biogas plants for biogenic residues of agricultural origin, food waste, biowaste or organic fraction of residual waste, as well as biogas upgrading plants using the processes of membrane separation, amine scrubbing, physical-chemical scrubbing and pressure swing adsorption. This covers the entire range of the engineering value chain, from the feasibility study and implementation planning to the commissioning of the plant.

Our biogas customers have access to the expertise of employees with a combined professional experience of over 300 years in this field. They are not only engineers, biologists, geo-ecologists and planners, but have also been commissioners and temporary plant operators themselves. As a result, they have extensive experience with all common methods for agricultural and industrial biogas plants and their usually unique problems. Our customer base includes farmers as well as industrial companies (e.g. public utilities provider, waste management companies and energy suppliers) and private customers.

In line with the international orientation of the entire group of companies, our bioenergy specialists are active worldwide.

A supplier of inquired plant components asks: How much commission should I price for your contact brokerage?

GICON works independently of buying and commission interests. We are paid by the customer for our work and try to get the best out of it.

When is it economical to process biomethane and feed it into the grid as biomethane?

In Germany, the processing of biomethane and the feed-in of biomethane into high-pressure transport networks can be operated economically with a capacity of 600-700 Nm3/h or more. In most cases, this requires three steps with different plant components, which GICON® can support in terms of planning:

  • Pre-processing of the bioresource gas: Production of a gas mixture CO2-CH4
  • CO2 separation in the biogas to biomethane
  • Feeding into the grid: biomethane is converted into compressed biomethane depending on the gas transport network pressure

Unser Leistungsanspruch – Eine gute Lösung für Sie!
