How to run a CApure™ biogas upgrading plant Put it on autopilot CApure™ biogas upgrading plants are incredibly easyto-operate. All you need to do is to put the control system on automatic - and the process run as efficiently as possible. When the plant is up and running, physical supervision (a walk through the plant and checking the control system logs) should take no more than 4-8 hours per week. The automatic control system does the necessary adjustments to reach more than 99.9% methane efficiency. It’s as simple as that. Get an overview of the whole process You will get an excellent overview of the process performance at a glance. The main page of the control interface shows all key data. The quantity of the incoming raw biogas, how much electrical energy and heat that the process has consumed, how much heat has been recovered, and the quantity of upgraded biomethane. Within seconds you get a clear picture of your production, cost and income. Check the operating statistics – a key decision making tool You always have access to a comprehensive operating statistic database. Here you can find easyto-understand diagrams showing variations in the biomethane production process, with warning alarms if process values are getting close to pre-set tolerance levels. You also get short and long term data for factors such as energy usage vs. output, production time, availability, production cost and income. You’re always in contact with the process You don’t need to be present in the plant to have complete control of your biomethane production. Via Internet, you can log on to your CApure™ process and receive exactly the same interface on your computer that you would see at the control panel in the plant. Physical distance is no obstacle. Check the plant on your laptop at the breakfast table, before you go to a meeting, or, on your day off. Remember - you really don’t need to, it’s on autopilot. Call the experts Should you find irregularities in the production data, please contact the experts at Purac Puregas.
