Global Energy focusses on the design, construction and operation of Biogas Plants. Biogas is both an organic waste management solution, as well as a renewable energy solution.
Key industries that benefit from biogas technology are food processing factories, dairies, feedlot animal farming, abattoirs and breweries.
Value Proposition
The digesters are based on conventional Continuously Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) technology and incorporates two locally developed patents that significantly reduce the construction and operational costs of biogas plants.
Organic waste is fed on a daily basis, and through the process of anaerobic digestion, bacteria convert the organic material to methane and carbon dioxide. The methane can then be used for heating or power generation. The end product from the digester is a low odour, high nutrient fertiliser.
Team
The Global Energy team collectively has more than 50 years experience in power generation and project implementation. The team’s diverse engineering expertise and ever-increasing experience focusses on practical, minimum life-cycle-cost solutions.
