Biogas-to-CNG Compression

Project Description

Eskilstuna Energy & Environment (Eskilstuna Energi & Miljö) is a municipality owned company providing utilities to the district of Eskilstuna. The city of Eskilstuna is known for her environmental awareness and developments. Considering this, the company YIT Vatten & Miljöteknik AB received the order for the lumpsum turnkey delivery of a biogas upgrade installation at the nearby Ekeby sewage plant. The upgraded biogas is used as a fuel for the municipality’s city buses.
As part of this project, CSH supplied a skid mounted electric driven 2-stage reciprocating compressor installation, housed in a noise attenuated enclosure, to compress the cleaned biogas to a storage pressure of about 350 bar.
