INGENIEUR Biogas = 200 m3/hr Power Generation = 0.5 MW Figure 5: Biogas Optimization for Electricity Generation R&D in Biogas Recycling Sewage sludge being rich in organic material can also be converted into an energy source. It can either be converted into methane gas (also known as biogas) as renewable fuel source or transformed into other fuel material and then fired for energy. Biogas generated at IWK’s plants shows methane composition averaging 65% with potential energy value of 5000kcal/m3. There are on-going studies on methods to optimize anaerobic digestion process t
