เกจวัดแรง in Hualien County on the east coast of Taiwan is the primary biogas plant within the country to make use of livestock manure as its feedstock, utilizing a digester mixing system made by Landia.
The plant options six of Landia’s externally mounted GasMix methods, which improve biogas yields. The 18.5 kw models are helping generate what will amount to roughly 876,000 kWh of electrical energy every year for the Taipower grid (equivalent to the electrical energy capacity of 250 households) from 300 tonnes of livestock manure wastewater daily within the breeding space of Sanmin, Yuli Town where eight livestock farms are residence to nearly 10,000 pigs and near 700 cows.
Benefitting from the Landia Chopper Pump, the digester mixing system attracts thick liquid from the bottom of the 6,000 m3 tank, where solids are chopped to speed up the digestion course of and stop clogging of pipes and nozzles. In the first stage of the mixing process, the livestock wastewater is injected into the higher half of the digester, whilst biogas is aspirated from the top of the tank and mixed into the liquid. This reduces buoyancy at the surface of the liquid, and the rising gasoline bubbles continue to combine after the pumps are switched off.
