G.A.E.C de la pépinière
GAEC de la pepiniere, a "Groupement Agricole d'Exploitation en Commun" (GAEC: jointly run farms), was founded in 1987 in Saint Aubin de Bonneval (North West of France) by 4 partners. It now employs 1 person and manages 230 hectares of mixed crops (wheat, corn, etc ) and livestock farming (120 dairy cows and production of veal calves).
Methanisation Unit
The methanisation unit was commissioned 1n 2012 for an investment of 900,000 €.
The unit is composed of a digester, a post-digester, a storage pit for the feedstock, and a pit containing the liquid digestate. Biomass feedstock is composed of solid and liquid manure for 70
% complemented by 30 % of plant (wheat, corn, and catch crop).
To remove the H2S, Camfil offers CamPure 32, a specific molecular filtration media with a high H2S adsorption capacity.
A MEDIA WITH A HIGH ABSORBENT POWER
Camfil offers the market a cost-effective media for the removal of hydrogen sulphide generated during the production of biogas by anaerobic digestion: CamPure 32. This high-quality chemical adsorbent is a combination of adsorbents, treated by a dedicated chemical impregnation system. This media has a lower dust content compared to classical carbon and also exhibits a longer lifetime.
CamPure 32 is certified in accordance with UL 900. The low flammability characteristics make it a much safer media than carbon. This is an important feature for use in an environment where ignition of adsorbent media beds is a real risk, e.g. biogas production.
The media is available in the form of a 500 kg big bag or in the form of a 28 L carton.
Pascal’s and Pierre-Charles’s testimony from the GAEC
“CamPure 32 has the advantage of having an attractive price compared to other activated carbon in the market while having an excellent H2S adsorption rate. The life time of the product should be longer, which will allow us to delay the media replacement.
We could also notice that the quantity of dust during the can loading/unloading was low.”
