Methane is a natural by-product that occurs as organic material is decomposed. Typically, methane is released into the atmosphere, and is a major contributor to ozone layer depletion. Rather than allowing methane to escape to the atmosphere, Procorp maximizes methane recovery from high strength wastes.
Procorp methane recovery is not only good for the environment, its beneficial to the bottom line. Recovered methane is used to power boilers for steam or hot water, as a source of natural gas, and to generate electricity.
Methane energy reuse saves thousands of dollars in annual operating expenses. CO2 credits are also offered in many states as an added benefit for this energy recovery process.

Energy Recovery Processes
|
|
Food, beverage and ethanol industries are ideal for energy recovery processes as they generate wastes with high biogas generation potential |
|
|
Biogas production elimates much of the current cost, space, time, and CO2 emissions of these wastes |
|
|
Biogas energy recovery is a substantial source of energy: 1 kg COD = 1/4 kg of methane |
|
|
Recovered methane gas is often used on-site to fuel boilers which dramatically reduces operating costs |
