Biogas Plants

We Engineer Reliable Protection for Methane Gas Handling and Utilization.

Ensuring the safety of biogas plants is essential for stable operation and the protection of both personnel and equipment Equipment Machines, appliances, fixed or mobile devices, control parts and accessories, and warning and prevention systems, whether separate or combined, intended for the generation, transfer, storage, measurement, control, and conversion of energy, and for the processing of materials, which have their own potential source of ignition and may cause an explosion. . Methane-rich biogas presents a combination of flammability, pressure fluctuation, and variable operating conditions that require carefully engineered protection concepts.
PROTEGO® safety solutions are applied across key process sections within biogas plants, including foil gas storage units, flares, and CHP units or gas engines. Protection concepts are selected and configured based on the specific operating conditions of each installation, with due consideration for applicable local standards and regulatory requirements.

Application-Specific Protection Concept

Within a typical biogas plant layout, PROTEGO®  equipment is positioned at critical interfaces where methane gas is stored, transferred, or utilized.
Pressure and Vacuum Vacuum Vacuum is the pressure in an enclosed space that is lower than the ambient pressure. Diaphragm Diaphragm A diaphragm is a thin layer of material, which has a large surface area. valves are applied to manage tank breathing and protect storage systems against inadmissible overpressure Overpressure Overpressure refers to an increase in pressure in a system or vessel above the normal operating pressure. or vacuum conditions. Internal coatings and endurance burning Endurance burning Stabilized burning for an unlimited time. resistance support durability in demanding operating environments.
In-line Deflagration Flame Arresters Deflagration flame arrester Flame arrester designed to prevent the transmission of a deflagration. It can be an end-of-line flame arrester or an in-line flame arrester. are installed within gas piping to prevent flame propagation in both directions, supporting protection across interconnected process sections. Where required, in-line detonation flame arresters Detonation flame arrester Flame arrester designed to prevent the transmission of a detonation. are used to provide additional protection against higher energy combustion events.
Each component Component A component that is required for the safe operation of equipment and protective systems without performing an autonomous function itself. is selected as part of a coordinated protection concept that reflects the plant configuration, gas characteristics, and operational requirements.
