Worcester, Southern Africa

Creating a sustainable partnership

The Worcester waste-to-value plant in Southern Africa is designed to produce methane-rich biogas from wastewater received by a nearby poultry processing facility. The energy generated from this biogas is exported back to the neighbouring facility, creating a sustainable partnership in doing so.

Specifics

The biogas is upgraded and utilised to generate energy in combined heat and power units. The remaining wastewater is treated and can be safely discharged into the sewer.

  • The Worcester W2V plant treats up to 3,000m3 of raw abattoir effluent per day
  • It can generate up to 1.55MW of electricity and 836kW of thermal energy
  • The plant is capable of running in island mode to continue providing power when the local grid falls away.

Tigane, Southern Africa

Our first waste-to-value plant

The Tigane waste-to-value plant in Southern Africa is a semi-circular plant. It derives methane-rich biogas from the wastewater generated at the neighbouring poultry processing facility. This biogas is used to generate energy in the form of heat, creating a sustainable heat source for the same neighbouring facility. This project was developed and operated by Green Create prior to ownership being transferred to another party.

Specifics

What’s left of the wastewater at the plant is treated such that it can be safely discharged into the municipal network. A portion of the wastewater is treated further for re-utilisation as grey water at the poultry processing facility. The Tigane plant was our first plant and served as our proof of concept. It was our springboard onto the larger biomethane facilities we’re building today.

  • The Tigane W2V plant treats up to 1,500m3 of raw abattoir effluent per day and generates 400kW of thermal energy.

Rustenburg, Southern Africa

Green Create was first operational in Southern Africa

We own and operate three waste-to-value plants in South Africa with over 12MW of installed biogas production capacity. The biogas is upgraded into various forms of energy using combined heat and power units. The plants use poultry manure and poultry processing waste.

“Green Create started its first operations in South Africa and the plants continue to be crucial elements of the business. Major challenges with infrastructure in South Africa have elevated the importance of these waste-to-value facilities necessitating expansions and upgrades in the years to come.”

– Alister Inglesby, Chief Executive Officer

  • Over 7 ML of wastewater is treated daily across the portfolio.
  • The plants convert more than 200 tons of poultry manure and poultry processing waste into energy per day.
  • More than 200 tons per day of solid and liquid fertilisers are produced.
  • Up to 2 ML of processed water is returned to the industry on a daily basis to reduce the requirements for freshwater uses at the industrial operations.

Mauritius, Southern Africa

Methane-rich biogas production from the fish processing industry

The Mauritius waste-to-value plant known as Energie Des Mascareignes (EDM), is designed to receive various industrial wastewater streams as a feedstock for the production of methane-rich biogas. The biogas is upgraded and distributed to the local industry for use in steam production.

Specifics

After digestion, the wastewater is further treated to recover phosphorus and remove nitrogen for safe discharge into the local municipal discharge point. Phosphate fertiliser recovered from the wastewater will be used as a fertiliser on the local lands. EDM is a pioneering project for the Island of Mauritius and has a significant impact on the local environment

  • The wastewater comes from multiple industrial effluent streams from the fish processing industry.
  • The plant uses anaerobic digestion in conjunction with phosphate precipitation and nitrogen removal.
  • EDM produces 7MW of biomethane.

Green Create produces biogas that we upgrade into many useful energy forms, such as Bio-Methane, Bio LNG and renewable energy. During the process of making biogas, we convert the surplus into byproducts such as organic fertilizers.
