ATLAS BURDUR ANIMAL MANURE METHANE RECOVERY AND UTILIZATION PLANT

Atlas Burdur Animal Manure Methane Recovery and Utilization Plant is a biogas-to-energy project that captures biogas from animal manure -via anaerobic digestion- and utilizes it to generate thermal and electric energy through cogeneration units. The animal manure is collected from the neighbouring animal farms with vacuum trucks and transferred to the biogas plant. Continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) type anaerobic digesters are used to capture methane-rich biogas. Biogas is then utilized in cogeneration units for heat and electricity generation. The thermal energy is utilized for heating anaerobic fermenters. The generated electricity is used for internal electricity requirements and supplied to the national grid. The project is being implemented by the project owner, Burdur Yenilenebilir Enerji ve Entegre Atık Yönetimi Sistemi Limited Şirketi, Burdur province, in Turkey. The project activity avoids methane emissions through the capture and utilization processes.
