TEWE Biogas company

Customised technology and over 25 years of experience for maximum efficiency and environmental compatibility in industrial and commercial biogas production.

With over 25 years of experience in the planning and implementation of biogas plants, TEWE Biogas is one of the world’s leading providers of efficient, tailored solutions for biogas production. We firmly believe that biogas will play a major role in the energy supply in future by closing the gap between weather-dependent renewable energies and the stable base load supply.

Tailored solutions for biogas plants

One of the core competencies of TEWE Biogas is the planning, development and construction of high-performance biogas plants which are specifically designed for the industrial and commercial exploitation of organic waste products. From the first stage of planning right through to commissioning, TEWE oversees the entire process with comprehensive expertise that ensures customers around the world can make optimum use of biogas plants.

Our plants offer the flexibility to efficiently convert a wide range of substrates such as food waste, slurry, manure, chicken dung and renewable raw materials into biogas. This versatility allows companies to make efficient use of the raw materials available to them and reduce their dependence on fossil fuels, which is both economically and ecologically beneficial.

Core competence in electronics and control technology

Another area in which TEWE Biogas excels is its in-house electronics and control technology. All PLC control systems are individually programmed for each biogas plant and customised to the requirements of the plant. These customised control solutions are supplemented by functions such as predictive maintenance and process optimisation. This reduces downtimes and maximises the efficiency of the systems.

Smart solutions for maximum efficiency and environmental compatibility

Our many years of experience working with customers show that profitability is one of the main factors in favour of biogas plants. That’s why TEWE Biogas uses innovative technologies that maximise the efficiency and sustainability of the plants:

• Substrate mix optimisation: Efficient combination of different organic materials to increase methane production.

  • Biogas upgrading: Carbon capture; the methane content of the biogas is increased and the quality of the biogas is improved.
  • Digestate processing and nutrient recovery: Sustainable utilisation of digestate as a high-quality fertiliser to support the circular economy.
  • Membrane filtration and denitrification: Effective filtration solutions to reduce the environmental impact of nitrates and maximise nutrient recovery.

These technologies not only make TEWE biogas plants more eco-friendly, they also allow companies to achieve additional value creation through nutrient recovery.

Repowering – modernisation for increased efficiency

Since efficiency is of central importance in the biogas industry, TEWE continuously develops innovations to upgrade existing plants with repowering solutions. By adapting to the latest technological and legal demands, we boost efficiency and extend the service lives of the plants while reducing operating costs. The integration of additional technologies such as combined heat and power units (CHP) and heat accumulators greatly increases energy efficiency and profitability.

Flexibility marketing and energy optimisation

The TEWE control systems for flexibility marketing and the associated software enable operators to dynamically adjust electricity production to market prices and feed in electricity in a targeted manner. This flexibility not only increases the economic efficiency of the systems, but also contributes to the stability of the electricity grid. When planning the plants, TEWE also considers integration into local infrastructure (energy and heating network), which is a key factor for the overall economic and energy efficiency of the plant.

In conclusion

With its many years of experience and cutting-edge technology, TEWE Biogas is a reliable partner for companies who rely on eco-friendly, cost-effective energy production. From customised systems and flexible control technology to innovative special solutions and repowering – TEWE Biogas offers everything modern companies need for the sustainable and economical utilisation of organic waste.
