The WELTEC Group has acquired two biomethane refineries in Hesse and Saxony-Anhalt (Germany). One of the plants is located in Ebsdorfergrund, Hesse, and has been acquired within the framework of an asset deal. As the new owner, Nordmethan Produktion Ebsdorfergrund GmbH, an affiliate of the WELTEC Group, is now responsible for the operation. WELTEC BIOPOWER was the plant engineering company that set up the entire process technology including gas upgrading technology and ensured a smooth go-live in late 2012. The plant produces 1,000 standard m³/h of raw biogas and efficiently conditions it to 550 standard m³/h of natural gas equivalent biomethane. The green energy source is available throughout Germany by the way of the public natural gas grid. The annual production of this plant, amounts to about 15M standard m³ of biomethane, enough to supply 10,000 homes with heat and power.
