A new anaerobic digestion facility costing $6 million has been constructed to generate 800 kilowatts of affordable and renewable energy for Lowell Light and Power, which is a city-owned electrical utility. Sustainable Partners LLC (Spart) designed and managed the project. 

The plant uses an anaerobic digester made by enco2 in Germany to convert organic waste materials into methane gas. Spart chose 2G Energy Inc. to manufacture, supply, and install a modular 800 ekW/h Biogas to Energy Conversion System for their project.

To achieve this, 2G Energy Inc. provided a containerized 2G Avus 800 with a fully integrated MWM gas engine. The engine has an electrical power rating of 800 ekW/h or 6,640 MW p.a. and a thermal power capacity of 921 kWh/th. The containerized CHP system was much more cost-effective and economical than the initial plan of installing an open genset-type engine and custom building an on-site CHP system with an engine room. The modular container solution is always much cheaper. 

2G Energy Inc. also supplied a gas compression system, thermal distribution, and the entire control and utility grid interconnection switchgear technology.
