Fuel Gas Boosting

Project Description

Heineken’s brewery in Zoeterwoude, The Netherlands, has two anaerobic digesters producing biogas, fueling a local gas engine. To maximize utilization of the biogas, Heineken decided to divert the biogas stream to two local gas turbines, up till then entirely fed by natural gas from the national gas grid. It was determined to mix the natural gas with upgraded biogas, by injecting the upgraded biogas in the fuel gas supply line of the gas turbines. This solution provided an annual natural gas saving of 2.5 Mm³

To enable this, CSH delivered a skid mounted Fuel Gas Booster, installed in a noise attenuating enclosure, to increase the fuel gas pressure from 0.6 to 24 bar(g).
