Biogas to Power

Clean electricity from waste

More profitable option than firing biogas in boilers
33 large-scale projects successfully commissioned by IETL
across 16 different industries

Biogas to BioCNG

Highest return for every m3 of biogas

Replacement of fossil fuel e.g diesel/petrol/CNG/LPG

Pioneering projects - Inspiration for others

Environmentally cleanest fuel- better than natural gas

Renewable source of energy.

Biogas to BioCNG- Case Study

IETL has designed, constructed and commissioned the first
large scale Biogas to BioCNG upgradation project for
Spectrum Renewable Energy at Warana in India on pressmud
and distillery biogas.
IETL has provided the entire Biogas Upgradation Plant
consisting of H2S cleaning and CO2 removal system
Upgraded Biogas i.e. BioCNG contains more than 95%
Methane, H2S less than 5 ppm and moisture at -40o C DP
This BioCNG will be used as vehicular fuel/LPG
replacement
The project status: Successfully commissioned

SulfabactTM- Biological Sulfur

New formulation by IETL for development of activated biological sulfur
as vital S nutrient additive under the brand name SulfaBact TM (Pat
pending)

Advantages of SulfaBactTM:
Timely availability of needed sulfur nutrient to plants
Activity of soil microorganisms enhanced on soil application due to
optimum pH
No leaching out by rains, flooding as in sulfate fertilizers
Sulfur dispersion in soil very high and conversion very efficient due to
colloidal size of sulfur
Appropriate environment for microbes slow release
All other pH dependant nutrients of soil slowly unlocked and made
available to plants.
