Biogas plant, Iowa, USA

The development of a new biogas plant in Iowa, USA, takes place in conjunction with local producers and contractors. The new plant will be built next to another facility, manufacturing high-quality liquid ammonium fertiliser. Chicken manure from nearby poultry farms will be used as the raw material. The manure will be fermented into an organic fertiliser with high added value. The biogas extracted is to be refined, producing biomethane, which will then be fed into the local natural gas mains. The biogas plant is currently in development and is expected to produce some 2400 m3 of biogas per hour.
