SYSTEMS FORRENEWABLE ENERGIES
Biogas, geothermal energy, wood pellet:best utilization of renewable energies with Uponor system solutions
 
Uponor pipe systems makesure that my biogas systemis even more effi cient
A purely natural product: energy from biomass
What could be more natural than biogas? Biomass isproduced through the action of sunlight and carbondioxide on vegetable material; biogas generators recon-vert the biomass back into carbon dioxide and energy.Especially on farms - what could be more obvious thanto put liquid and solid manures, often in combinationwith silage or organic wastes, to good use in order toproduce energy? Biogas generators may also be operat-ed using energy crops such as maize, beets or grainswhich are allowed to be grown on set-asides. Whenbiogas is used as fuel in a co-generation plant, bothelectricity and heat are produced. The balance is eco-logically as well as economically a positive one: biogaspays off, reduces environmental pollution throughgreenhouse gas methane and is CO2 neutral.
Biogas generates more energy than can be usedon the farm
The bacterial decomposition of organic substancesresults in biogas, a mixture of gases containing up to75% methane and is comparable with natural gas. Abiogas generating plant which uses this process in agri-cultural environments to produce energy normally con-sists of a fermentation unit in which the biomass is fer-mented in airtight conditions and a co-generation plantin which the generated biogas produces electricity andheat using a combustion engine. The plant is supple-mented by a series of storage tanks for feedstock suchas liquid manure, silage or organic waste and for the gasproduced. In most cases, more energy is generated fromthe biogas than can be used on site so it can be fed intoa public network for a legally determined price. Thewaste heat from the co-generation plant is used to heatthe fermentation plant and beyond that supplies freeenergy for heating the farmhouse and outbuildings.Even the residues from the fermentation plant are not

Pre-insulated pipesystems made by Uponor are an ideal and cost-efficientsolution for supplying the fermentation plant heatingand residual hygienization unit with process heat andfor distributing local heat to the farmhouse and out-buildings throughout the whole of the farmyard withUponor area heating providing a comfortable livingenvironment and low heating costs.wasted but can be used as valuable fertilizer on theareas under cultivation.
One-stop pipe connections to handle any task
A biogas system requires a number of pipe connections.One–stop system solutions made by Uponor will dealwith any task that comes along. For example, reliableand extremely durable Uponor heating pipes are ideal assupply lines to the fermentation plant. Heavy-dutyUponor Wirsbo PE-Xa gas pipes provide permanent
