Biogas in Belgium from the manure of 11,000 pigs
Agriculture and breeding
Excessive manure production is a problem in Belgium and above all for Ivaco, a farm that owns 11,000 pigs. In 2012 the company decided to install a digester to treat the solid part of the manure and a 150kW biogas plant. The electricity generated by cogeneration is used within the company itself and the heat is used for the composting process. The distinctive feature of the plant lies in the use of a stripping-scrubbing model, installed as part of the European Union’s Digesmart project.
