SMCC Group provides the most economical power solutions for Sewage&Sludge Treatment Plants. Modern waste treatment technology collects or produces methane gas through treatment processes. Our company provides biogas generators to help users turn it into renewable fuel, using gas generated from garbage to produce reliable electricity and heat, reducing the impact on the environment.

Utilizing methane from sewage treatment plants for power generation

Many sewage treatment facilities use waste gas or biogas digester gas generated from wastewater treatment as a fuel source for power generation units (gas engines). This gas is mainly composed of methane and carbon dioxide produced by wastewater digestion tanks used in water treatment processes. Then, these exhaust gases are captured and utilized by SMCC biogas engines to provide electricity and heat for the digesters or other thermal loads in the factory. The calorific value of exhaust gas ranges from 6 to 6.4 kilowatt hours per cubic meter, and fluctuates based on the methane content of its organic raw materials. The heat generated during the power generation process is used as process heat for wastewater treatment plants, thereby saving additional energy costs.

The benefits of methane to energy conversion projects include:

1. Improve energy efficiency

2. Reduce electricity costs

3. Reduce the impact on the environment

The durable gas engines designed by SMCC Group specifically for the use of low-energy fuels are the cornerstone of reliable power systems. This gas engine drives the generator set to generate electricity. Our gas engines have specialized tolerance to pollutants in wastewater gas fuels by providing additional features.

The characteristics of biogas engines used for exhaust gas combustion include:

1. Crankcase ventilation pump, used to discharge potential acidic exhaust gases

2. The specially designed aftercooler core, cylinder head, main bearing, and connecting rod bearing have all undergone hardening treatment and are not corroded

3. A differentiated cooling system that operates at elevated jacket water temperature to prevent condensation of pollutants

4. Provide gas engines specifically designed to match exhaust gases, complete systems, and cogeneration systems.
