ECC has fabricated the 14ft diameter and 47ft long tank for installation at an existing wastewater treatment facility. The biogas system will produce 4.2MW of energy, using methane extracted from the wastewater.
The scrubber will ensure that the energy produced will not generate sulfur-based emissions or SO2 residues. ECC is also outfitting the vessel with specialty fittings supplied by BioGasclean, including the company’s quick sludge removal system.
Sam Fairchild, CEO of ECC, said: “We value our evolving relationship with BioGasclean. We want to help drive their success in the North American market. Biogas vessels will be an important product line for ECC – the biogas industry is growing at 20 – 30% annually in Europe, and biogas is quickly becoming an important source of energy in North America over the next few years. Methane, when cleaned of sulfur impurities, will deliver 400 – 500% more power than other hydrocarbon gases.
“BioGasclean is the world leader in removing those sulfur impurities, enabling the use of methane derived from wastewater and other sources in gas-fired turbines and engines. This tank represents the first delivery out our seven figure dollar biogas proposal pipeline, and we are confident in our ability to turn the production of biogas vessels into a substantial value creator for our shareholders.”
