ProposalDescription: 

The Bronkhorstspruit Biogas Plant requires an upgrade that will entail improvements to the original design.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The Bronkhorstspruit Biogas Plant ("BBP") operated by Bio2Watt is a renewable energy industrial facility that is located 18 km south-west of Bronkhorstspruit. The existing biogas plant is 4.5 megawatts (“MW”) and they propose to upgrade to 8.4 MW due to increased energy demands. The upgrade will entail improvements to the original design (new line will handle wear and tear better) and be able to process manure containing sand and stones more efficiently. In addition, the plant will also upgrade its output digestate handling and separation processes to produce water and bio-fertilizer as plant outputs. The BBP adopted an anaerobic digestion (“AD”) process to recover value from organic wastes (fruit & vegetable), chicken sludge, food and beverage waste and cattle manure to generate biogas for power production. The AD process converts organic matter/waste into biogas, a source of renewable energy, and a nutrient rich organic fraction known as digestate will also be produced as a by-product. The BBP produces electrical power by digesting cattle manure and organic waste under thermophilic anaerobic conditions to generate biogas that is used to fuel gas engines, which drive electrical generators.
