Award-winning SA biogas systems address waste management issues
AGAMA Biogas's Greg Austin says the company has installed a number of systems in rural and urban areas - including numerous brick dome digesters - with municipal planning approval.
The use of the locally manufactured biogas systems in the rural environment, he says, is increasingly becoming acknowledged by municipal officials as a viable and useful option. Installations can be performed by certified drainage and gas technicians, or alternatively, customers install the digesters themselves. "To produce the maximum possible amount of biogas, the BiogasPro should be fed with up to 40 kg of mixed organic raw material daily." This, Austin says, offers a cost effective solution to many waste management problems, from sewage waste water treatment to co-digestion of different substrates including food waste, manures, grasses and garden wastes.
BiogasPro, Esi-africa says, also garnered the attention of The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design's Green Good Design Award 2011 and was selected as an award winner for making a positive contribution in the area of sustainable design and environment. "We anticipate that with an increasing number of reference projects our biogas systems will become more mainstream," Austin concludes.
