INGENYA and AD Solutions build a biogas plant in Costa Rica with 2G Energy technology.

The plant uses cow manure to produce biogas that powers a 250kW/h CHP module.
INGENYA and AD Solutions have built a biogas plant in Costa Rica that uses cow manure and a 2G Energy CHP module to produce 250kW/h of electricity and 322kW of heat. The CHP module is a 20-foot container with a MAN engine and all the necessary components for biogas treatment and utility interconnection.

A new biogas plant has been developed by INGENYA in Costa Rica in collaboration with AD Solutions from Germany. The plant uses mainly cow manure to produce biogas that is sufficient to generate 250kW/h of power. Unlike other biogas plant developers in Central and South America who have applied gas gensets to convert low BTU biogas into energy with extremely low efficiencies, INGENYA has avoided these mistakes. They have purchased a highly efficient biogas CHP module from 2G Energy Inc. which has been professionally designed and manufactured. The CHP system is rated at 250kW/h electrical and 322kW thermal and is fully containerized. The module is 20 feet long, 10 feet wide, and 10 feet high and features a fully integrated 2G Patruus 250 that uses an optimized MAN prime mover as the core engine. All other auxiliary components, including sophisticated biogas CHP controls, cooling system, exhaust, gas blower, thermal extraction, pumps, three-way mixers, space ventilation, biogas treatment, dehumidification, re-heating, and the carbon-based H2S filtration system, are included in the scope of supply. Additionally, the utility interconnection technology is also included.
