HAM Group brings online third biomethane refueling station from wastewater in Spain

In Spain, HAM Group has designed, installed and commissioned its third HAMikro refueling station, which allows the refueling of biomethane obtained from wastewater treatment. The installation is located in the facilities of the municipal water service of Lleida and is formed by a fuel compression system, using a low flow compressor, a structure that allows the storage of biomethane in bottles high pressure and a pump that is responsible for supplying this source of energy to vehicles.

The HAMikro service station is part of the innovative SMART Green Gas project, co-financed by the European Union, with the aim of generating renewable biofuels, of national origin, for compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles. The wastewater reaches the sewage treatment plant from the drains, dishwashers, washing machines, etc., of the homes of the Lleidans, and is treated to end up turning a by-product into a valuable resource, where CO2 is selectively eliminated “Well to Wheel “(from its production to its consumption) and the H25, reaching a quality that can be used as fuel for the automotive industry, with beneficial effects such as the reduction of the carbon footprint.
