Express Infrastructure Private Limited has successfully upgraded its biogas facility at their farmhouse, which houses around 100 cows. The farmhouse already had a 600kg cow dung processing biogas plant that produced approximately 25 cubic meters of biogas daily, equivalent to about 12.5 kg of LPG. The biogas generated was primarily used for cooking purposes, including preparing ghee, for the 50 people staying on-site for maintenance.
In 2021, Express Infrastructure Pvt Ltd encountered issues with poor gas flow from the biogas plant. Seeking a solution, they reached out to Green Connect, a company known for its expertise in biogas solutions. Upon inspection, Green Connect’s experts identified that the problem stemmed from water clogging in the existing HDPE pipeline.
To address this, Green Connect recommended several improvements. They suggested replacing the HDPE pipeline with a UPVC one fitted with water drain valves to prevent future clogging. Additionally, a booster pump was installed to ensure uniform gas flow throughout the system. The booster pump functions by sucking the biogas from the plant and distributing it evenly across the pipeline network.
Furthermore, Green Connect advised replacing the gas stove, which had rusted over time, to improve safety and efficiency. Following these upgrades, Express Infrastructure Pvt Ltd has reported a significant improvement in gas flow and overall efficiency of their biogas system. The revamp has allowed them to maximize the use of their biogas plant, ensuring a consistent supply of clean energy for cooking, including the preparation of ghee, thereby reducing their reliance on conventional LPG.
This collaboration between Express Infrastructure and Green Connect exemplifies how targeted interventions can resolve technical challenges, enhancing the performance of sustainable energy solutions.
