HoSt supplying biomethane turnkey project to Frisian dairy

April 6, 2020 |

In the Netherlands, HoSt is once again turn-key supplying a Microferm Green Gas installation within the ‘Jumpstart’ initiative of dairy cooperative FrieslandCampina. This time at a dairy farm in the Frisian Boornbergum. In this manure digester, only proprietary manure is digested to produce 40 Nm3 (cubic meter) of biomethane per hour.

Thanks to the Microferm, renewable gas can be produced from the manure of the 550 dairy cows at the farm of dairy farmer Van der Wal. This is done by means of anaerobic digestion: a controlled fermentation process in a gastight tank. The biogas produced is upgraded in a biogas upgrading system to biomethane which then is directly fed into the natural gas network. The micro-digester produces sufficient sustainable gas to supply as many as 980 households for their gas needs. That is 1.5 times the number of households in Boornbergum.
