YOUGHAL, IRELAND
BIOGAS PLANT IN IRELAND FOR DIGESTION OF SEVERAL SLUDGE STREAMS
For the second time HoSt was assigned by the same client for the construction of a biogas plant in Ireland. The second plant was built in Youghal, in the south of Ireland. The installation has the capability to digest 45,000 tonnes of several sludge streams mixed with digestate (both solid and liquid waste streams). The two 25 m3 pasteurisation tanks make it possible to digest category 3 waste products.
One of the main advantages of this project is that the digester and after-digester can function interchangeably. The produced biogas is utilized for running a 600 kWe CHP and a 1,200 kWe CHP to produce 1.7 MWe (electricity). The produced heat is used for the digesters and the sanitation of the anaerobic digested material.
