Case Study
Green Energy Excellence by FornovoGas and Circular Economy by Evida
Ecospray and Fornovo Gas, CIRCULAR ECONOMY in the world of transport: Production and liquefaction of BIO LNG from landfill. The system designed and built by Ecospray, is an integrated plant, starting from the collection of biogas from landfill to the loading of the finished product, BIO LNG, into a cryogenic tank to be marketed for automotive use.
The plant built in Novi Ligure is innovative, one of the first of its kind in Italy and features a patented technology for the capture of biogas produced from landfills, its purification and subsequent liquefaction to be used as automotive fuel. FornovoGas compressors have been chosen to be installed in the biomethane liquefaction process using Linde cycle technology, modified according to Ecospray’s experience and adapted to their know-how. In fact, by compressing biomethane at high pressures and then laminating it, the pressure and consequently the temperature are lowered, bringing it close to that of liquefaction. The whole process will have to maintain a high operating efficiency to make the final product both competitive and of high quality.
At the forefront in the design and construction of compressors and high performance and eco-sustainable solutions, FornovoGas has supplied a SA200 compressor with the following technical features:
– Power 45 kW – 3 Cylinders – 3 Phases
This plant, producing 1 ton of BIO-LNG per day, equal to about 5000 km of zero emissions, is a milestone of fundamental importance for the exploitation of biogas from landfill ready for use as fuel for heavy transport, as an alternative to the traditional use for the production of electricity. LNG allows a 99 per cent reduction in PM10 (particulate matter) and 20 to 30 per cent in CO2 emissions, and bioLNG is completely carbon neutral, as well as using waste as an energy source instead of being disposed of.
