Biogas plant
Soc. Agricola Pontoni - Vitulazio (CE)
Biogas plant fed exclusively by buffalo wastewater and whey. With the electricity and heat produced, the farm achieves 100 percent energy autonomy with an additional kWhel surplus to feed into the grid. A true example of environmental sustainability perfectly integrated with a business model.

The plant solution is aimed at producing 100 KWh of electricity through cogeneration.
In particular, the anaerobic biological process with mesophilic bacterial species operating at temperatures close to 38-42°C was selected.
Through the process of anaerobic digestion, the organic matter contained within the matrices fed to the plant is degraded in order to produce biogas and then electricity and heat through cogeneration.
