Chapecó, Brazil, 24 November 2024
In 2021, ARCHEA America Latina built a biogas plant for Cetric in Chapeco with a capacity of 250m3 of biomethane per hour. The plant was built with 4 Scania engines rated at 250kW each and a biomethane upgrading system (PSA) with a capacity of 200m3 per hour. The plant is now being expanded to produce 1,000m3 of biomethane per hour. The digester will be ARCHEA's largest fully mixed digester in Brazil to date. It will have a volume of 6,000m3 and a height of 9 m.
Organic waste from industry will be used as feedstock. The biomethane will be used as CNG for Cetric's vehicle fleet, supplied directly via the company's own filling station.
Cetric is one of Brazil's major waste management companies. The aim is to convert the entire vehicle fleet to CNG.
The collaboration has been very successful for many years.
