Location: Elmira, Ontario, Canada
The biogas plant Elmira is the most advanced waste utilizing industrial biogas plant in Canada and represents the latest state of the art technology. This plant is able to energetically utilize almost all kinds of organic waste like packed food, food leftovers, organic industrial waste etc.
The project was started already in 2009. The entire approval procedure ( including several road shows and great efforts from Agrinz) took a period of 4 years, because the biogas plant Elmira was the first plant of this type in Canada.
Start of the construction phase was in April 2013 and the commissioning was in May 2014.
Agrinz Technologies GmbH was responsible for the technology, the entire process engineering and project management (detail and execution planning, supervision and coordination, operator training, handing over and commissioning) . Since the plants‘ commissioning Agrinz has been providing after sales service and process consulting.
