HoSt has received an order for the construction of a new biogas plant in Suffolk, UK. The construction works have already been started with the completion of the concrete tanks last week.
At the location, an AD plant is being constructed with different biomass streams as input. The flexible biogas plant is capable of handling a flexible input menu, such as liquid manure, corn silage and sugar beet pulp. The biogas will produce electricity with a 500 kWe CHP system.
The scope comprises a HoSt mixing/dosing feeder, a push floor, a PreMix system, manure silo, 2 digester tanks, after-digester screw press separator and a 500 kWe CHP system.
The plant will produce 40 GW of biomethane and 4000 MW of electricity.
