Redefining pumping in the biogas industry

With the UK Government’s 2050 Net-Zero targets looming, the full potential of the biogas industry is finally being realised.

With over 600 anaerobic digestion (AD) plants now operating across the country and a phenomenal biogas capacity of 2,721 megawatts, this translates to annual greenhouse gas emission cuts of 1% (with predictions of 6% by 2030 if all organic waste is treated through AD). Biomethane is therefore a solid substitute for fossil natural gas and going forward, offers a fully decarbonisation of the gas industry.

PEMO PUMPS was a resounding hit at this September’s RWM (part of ESS) Expo at the NEC, where the focus was on the importance of the circular economy. The team brought an example pump with them and were particularly interested in talking to customers from the biogas industry.

PEMO PUMPS are compliant with the European Community’s Waste Directive, through its leading OFMSW treatment phases and supply compost to agriculture and floriculture. The OFMSW treatment phases reduce unnecessary landfill waste, markedly reducing carbon footprint and contributing wholeheartedly to the circular economy.

Established in 1947 by Antonio Perissinotto, the marketleading company started with washing silica sands and later diversified into supplying pumps for the marble and granite cutting processes, chemical, wastewater treatment, steel industry, mining, filter press, oil & gas, through to ceramics and food and beverage sector, as a brand of Perissinotto SpA.

The anti-abrasive and anti-acid slurry pumps are manufactured at the cutting-edge Milan warehouse and customers can choose from 25 basic pump models, across vertical, horizontal, submersible and multi-stage versions.

With customers across 100 countries around the world, this Italian Powerhouse has enjoyed exponential growth over the decades and is happy to offer consultation around customised pumps for a variety of applications.

PEMO PUMPS are centrifugal pump pioneers, with precision-designed advanced speed motors to feed filter presses and already well established across the UK and French aggregates and stone processing applications for slurry transfers and feeding filter presses.

The focus at RWM 2023 was to create more brand awareness across the biogas and biomethane production chains, where robust pumps are routinely used. The anti-abrasive centrifugal pumps have astounding anaerobic digestion processing capabilities, in recirculating OFMSW and provide a game-changer for the biogas industry.

The semi-open impellers and anti-clogging volutes in the pumps are conducive to the meticulous transfer of highly viscous substrates. The HARDALLY PEMO superalloy is weathering-resistant and provides supercharged flow rates up to 1,500m3/h providing long-time efficiency, without the costly maintenance of single-screw pumps.
