Waste to energy process
Biogas (wet waste)
Biomass (Dry waste)
What is bio-gas ?
“Product” of natural process of decomposing
of organic material in the absence of O2
Biological process that convers
carbohydrates, fats, proteins into methane
CH4 and CO2
via Anaerobic Digestion (AD)
Waste streams (Biogas liter/kg ODM)
Manure
Grasses Fruit & veg Waste
Methane “production” steps
Biogas process/ cycle from source to use

Anaerobic Digestion- biogas with TGL
Ibert USP
• Process organic & non-organic waste
• Small waste quantities from 5tons/day, on-site
• Plant has small footprint (25 / 30 m)
• Production of biogas
• Modular integrated system
• Output from >12 kW(el) >20 kW(therm)
• Imbedded self-usage less then 8% of total power
production
• Utilization of “waste product”
Reference sites South Africa
Plant #1 Meat to Market Jan Kempdorp
600m3
AD, 135 kW CHP, 15 – 20 t/day slaughter waste
Plant #2 Hessequa Abattoir - Riverdale
400m3
AD, 50 kW CHP, 10 t/day slaughter waste
Plant #3 No2 Piggeries – Peninsula - Queenstown
600m3
AD, 190 kW CHP, 35 t/day pig manure
Plant #4 &5 Cavalier Abattoir - Cullinan
2 x 500m3 AD, 135 kW + 360 kW CHP, 15 – 40 t/day slaughter waste
Standard CHP size: 135 kW
Plant #6 Zandam Cheese & Piggery (W/Cape)
1 x 500m3
AD, 75 kW CHP, 30 t/day pig manure
Min. load 78 kW
Plant #7 Sucro Power (KZN/Durban)
1 x 200m3
AD, 16kW CHP, 30 t/day Napier Gras
Project realisation - Next steps
• Conduct a on-site ‘waste to energy audit”
• Qualify & Quantify ‘WTE” potential and best
technology to be used
• Develop a pre-feasibility report of current energy
usage cost and risks
• Present go / no-go and preferred business model
• Conclude contracts
• Start process
• Design, build, commission
• Operate via M&OM agreement
Thank you!
