Energy Composites Corp. Enters Biogas Industry with Completion of First Complex Composite Scrubber for 4.2 Megawatt Power Pro...

Business Wire
Energy Composites Corporation completed fabrication and testing
of its first hydrogen sulfide scrubber vessel for use in
desulfurization of biogas. The 54,000 gallon scrubber tank,
manufactured for BioGasclean, A/S, the Danish leader in biogas
technology, represents ECC’s entry into this important and
rapidly-growing segment of the cleantech industry.
“We value our evolving relationship with BioGasclean,” noted Sam
Fairchild, Energy Composites’ CEO. “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.”
ECC fabricated the 14-foot diameter, 47-foot long tank for
installation at an existing wastewater treatment facility. The
biogas system will produce 4.2 megawatts 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.
Jamie Mancl, ECC’s founder and President, said that “Working
with BioGasclean has been a terrific experience -- the experts
there are clearly driving innovation in biogas production. We are
fully committed to BioGasclean’s success in North America, and we
look forward to a long and productive relationship.”
Lars Henriksen, BioGasclean A/S’s Project Manager, said, “I am
very satisfied with ECC’s performance on this first tank. Jamie and
his production team delivered what they promised on time, within
budget, and with full function. We will get this first tank
installed and working, and then turn our attention to growing our
North American market with ECC.”
