Safe and Sustainable Biogas Production | ATEXSIERRA
Biogas and renewable gas production are becoming critical pillars in the global transition toward cleaner energy, circular economies, and reduced carbon emissions. Across Europe and worldwide, biogas plants process organic waste, agricultural residues, and industrial by-products to produce methane-rich gas for power generation, heating, and grid injection.
These operations inherently involve flammable gases, pressurized systems, and potentially explosive atmospheres — particularly in digestion tanks, gas upgrading units, compressor stations, and storage facilities. In such environments, only certified, purpose-built ATEX and IECEx solutions can be safely deployed.
ATEXSIERRA enables biogas producers to extend secure digital operations, real-time monitoring, and enterprise IT connectivity into hazardous zones while maintaining full compliance with international safety and environmental regulations.
Key Sustainability and Operational Challenges in Biogas Plants
Hazardous and Explosive Atmospheres
Biogas production generates methane-rich gas, hydrogen sulfide, and volatile organic compounds, creating Zone 1 and Zone 2 classified areas where ignition risk is high. Safe operation demands certified mobility, instrumentation, and infrastructure.
Process Efficiency and Energy Optimization
Digesters, compressors, and upgrading systems are energy-intensive. Operators must continuously monitor temperature, pressure, flow, and gas quality to maximize yield while minimizing energy consumption and emissions.
Regulatory Compliance and Audit Readiness
Biogas facilities must maintain documentation, traceability, and safety records to satisfy environmental authorities, insurers, and certification bodies.
Feedstock Traceability and Sustainability Reporting
Tracking organic waste sources, processing efficiency, and output quality is essential for sustainability certification, carbon reporting, and regulatory approvals.
