Agenitor 408 BG 400 kW combined heat and power plant for Vitagro Energy

Solution

The project has been implemented using the Agenitor 408 BG (2G) cogeneration plant, which enables the efficient use of biogas for the simultaneous production of electricity and heat.

The key change is the reallocation of biogas: whereas it was previously used partly for heating via boilers, it is now used to generate electricity, with heat produced as a by-product.

This made it possible to:

• replace grid electricity with in-house generation;
• use the heat to warm the fermenters;
• improve biomethane production figures.

Following the commissioning of the combined heat and power plant, the company was able to operate in island mode, ensuring the continuity and stability of production even during power cuts.

The first few days of operation confirmed the effectiveness of the solution: during the power cuts, the plant continued to operate smoothly thanks to its own power generation.
