Upgrading and feeding in with the ÖKOBIT biomethane plant

The most efficient option for using biogas – direct feed-in to the public natural gas network – is becoming increasingly interesting from a commercial point of view. This usage, however, first requires the biogas to be upgraded to natural gas quality in a biomethane plant. 

For its biomethane projects, ÖKOBIT relies on upgrading processes perfectly adapted to the site, makes tested, flexible technology available and guarantees trouble-free operation. Our biomethane plants consist of a “gas generation section”, which we implement for our customers as a CUSTOMIZED PLANT or as ÖKOBIT MEGALINE, and a gas upgrading unit.

ÖKOBIT provides advice independent of manufacturer and process. We choose, together with you, the best upgrading process and coordinate the overall design according to your requirements and local conditions.

Besides the requirements defined by the gas network operator, the choice of the upgrading technology depends on the reliability and economic efficiency of the various processes.

Experience – or more precisely: established practice

ÖKOBIT has been involved in the generation of biomethane and the different upgrading processes since 2006. As a general contractor, we successfully transferred the first biogas in-feed project in Hesse (4th feed-in project nationwide in Germany) from paper into practice in 2007/2008. Constructed in record time, the plant upgrades 300 Nm³ of raw gas per hour. Following the expansion of the plant in 2011, 900 Nm³ is fed to the upgrading plant, representing a biomethane production of almost 4 million Nm³ per year. Since then, other biomethane plants using different upgrading technologies and manufacturers have gone on line or are at the implementation stage.
