The plant will be installed at a landfill site in British Columbia to upgrade biogas to biomethane, which will then be injected into the utility’s natural gas grid for residential uses such as home heating and cooking. Commissioning of the plant is expected in early 2011.
The biogas plant features the latest generation of Xebec’s proprietary rapid-cycle pressure swing adsorption technology, including its advanced control and monitoring software. Both the upgrading plant and the residential biogas service offering are currently pending approval by the British Columbia Utilities Commission as part of a Terasen Gas biomethane program.
Kurt Sorschak, president and CEO of Xebec, said: “Xebec strives to establish strategic partnerships with leading Canadian utilities to move forward our vision to be a North American leader in clean energy solutions.
“We are making progress at a pace that keeps us on track with our strategy to deliver fully integrated gas plant projects instead of providing just the components.”
