Biogas Energy System

McCain Foods commissioned GHD to upgrade the trade waste plant at their Wendouree food facility.

GHD previously provided McCain Foods with an anaerobic lagoon that incorporated biogas collection and combustion in the process steam boilers.

The recent project involved the installation of a second, significantly larger covered anaerobic lagoon, complete with biogas collection, gas treatment and combustion in a dual fuel biogas boiler (3MW) and an emergency flare system. The new system has reduced odour and improved the plant discharge water quality.

The 10m deep-lined lagoon, with gaslight cover, also circulates the lagoon sludge and can inject live steam into the lagoon to improve the anaerobic digestion process.
