A universe that today already consists of more than a hundred universes appeared on the Valladares Highway five years ago. planets spread all over the world. This is the mark the company has left for now Biogas Technologyfrom here designs, manufactures and installs gas holders with an interesting spherical shape. The giant balloons look like giant soap bubbles, in which biogas is stored, a resource that its customers obtain through composting the waste they produce and then store in these balloons. These are artifacts that are part of the waste reclamation chain and play a very important role in the transformation process. HE big Bang the one which… energy is born, energy coming from garbage.

The company founded by Pablo Herrero with Rubén and Raquel Freiria. It currently has a significant portfolio of projects located in numerous locations. “We have done studies from Tasmania to Vancouver,” they say, and are now “developing midway plans” in Singapore or Saudi Arabia. In Egypt, the construction of a 24,000 cubic meter infrastructure has started in Cairo, the “world’s second largest” facility. As if that wasn’t enough, these orders are accompanied by others, such as those to be fulfilled in Romania and Colombia: “We normally do 85% of our business abroad.”

The company brings to life gasometers that are different from traditional gasometers from its headquarters in Olive City.Both for their simplicity during assembly and for better preservation. Traditionally metal caps have been used; The bad thing is that biogas contains a lot of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and corrodes them, requiring a lot of maintenance; Additionally, building a 15 or 30 meter tank often requires a large use of resources. In your case, They prefer to use lighter and easier to carry membranes instead of steel –each unit fits in half of a sea container–. And when they move to install them, it only takes three people to go. Everything is ready in just a week.

Right now, Biogas Technology planets Built in giants like FCC, Acciona or Water CorporationWestern Australia’s leading water services provider, working primarily for construction or processing companies. Safir is among the companies it provides service to. Also in Lugo are Innolact for milk production; The Calvo or Cogal fishing group, based in Rodeiro, is a producer and marketer of rabbit meat. It is also available in fermented beverage factories such as Don Simón, Mahou and San Miguel.

Biogas is produced from the organic waste of beer and this alcohol is used to heat the water used in the production process of this alcohol.. “After all, a waste is being reused, a waste that can contribute further to the production chain,” say the Vigo company. Gasometers sitting on concrete slabs consist of a counter that analyzes the amount of accumulated gas, an outer membrane and an inner membrane to store the source. buffer tank to maintain the pressure of the line (from the moment it is empty until it is full), a safety valve that can expel gas to protect the inner membrane from excessive pressure, and blowers that allow air to be blown into these bubbles through it.

Biogas Technology Last year it invoiced nearly 400,000 euros and this year it has already reached one and a half million eurosIt is a picture of the future potential of this sector, supported by more and more companies choosing to innovate for sustainability, prioritizing the reduction of energy costs through the installation of new technologies such as this. planets.
