Case ”Smart substrate management to minimize water requirements in food waste pretreatment”
Outside Östersund, Purac has built an energy-efficient biogas plant for Bioga i Jämtland-Härjedalen AB. The plant receives a variety of organic substrates – primarily dairy by-products1, cattle slurry and food waste. The plant pre-treats and digests the organic substrates and thus converts them into biogas, a fossil-free fuel, and a nutrient-rich liquid biofertilizer.
Case ”Strate-Pelleting-of-biofertilizer”
Purac, together with Alviksgården Lantbruks AB, has developed a process solution, Purac ReNuTM, which converts the digestate from a biogas plant into an attractive, nutrient-rich fertilizer product that provides easier fertilizer management, reduces the need for fossil fertilizers and reduces nutrient leakage to the soil.
Case "Climate calculation of distribution pumps and climate requirements for procurement"”
The Färgens waterworks in Alingsås municipality is being expanded to meet future needs, and the existing distribution pumps are being replaced with new pumps. Read more about how it was done.
Case – ”The road to the pumping stations of the future”
From downtime to operational reliability – a new generation of pumping stations. To reduce operating costs and improve operational reliability, Luleå Miljöresurs installed Sweden's first Awalift pumping stations in 2024 – a closed system with a separation vessel that effectively prevents clogging of the pumps and reduces general wear and tear.
Case: ”Härryda Municipality optimizes water monitoring with digital solution”
Härryda Municipality has not only optimized its water monitoring but also improved its ability to act in real time and prevent environmental impacts. Aqua Robur’s IoT Portal has become a valuable platform for managing and analyzing data, enabling the municipality to streamline its water management and increase its sustainability.
Case: ”It wasn't the pump but the agitation in the tank”
We noticed that one of our customers started ordering an unusually large number of spare parts for their pump and involved us in trying to find the cause. In this case we tell the story. The biogas company in Central Sweden produces biogas where the process uses an eccentric screw pump to feed the biosubstrate to the hyinization. After several years of operation without problems, a sudden […]
