AGRIGEN BIOENERGY is an engineering services consultancy company which main focus and experience base is the production of Biogas from Organic Waste for the Generation of Heat & Electricity. Having the right skills, local and international partnerships allows us to design the right process and source the best available technologies, keeping in mind special circumstances which govern the South African environment.
Agrigen offers the DESIGN of the following anaerobic digesters:
- Plug-flow digesters for high solids Dairy Manure for 400+ cows
- Lined lagoons & Biogas capture systems (Piggeries, Dairies)
- Continuously Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) systems
- High Rate fixed-film digesters for abattoir wastewater
- Household & community based BIOBAG digesters in co-operation with BiogasSA
Latest Developments!
 AGRIGEN BIOENERGY and BIOGAS SA developed a range of small to medium scale biogas solutions under the trade name AgriGas. The products are modular with client specific add-ons incl. small (<3 kW) generators, lighting, cooking and heating equipment, tailored to suit dairies, piggeries and any other intensive livestock farming operation where manure collection may be partially automated. The technology is simple, robust and serves to introduce biogas to farmers in a cost-efficient way.
Industries normally best suited for Biogas technology:
- Agro-industrial; manure, slaughterhouse waste, fish waste, etc.
- Certain sustainable energy crops, grass, elephant grass etc.
- Food & Beverage production waste Food waste; Sorted household organic waste, etc.
- Sewage sludge
- Ethanol distilleries (Wet distillers grain)
10 Good reasons to consider biogas:
- Biogas enables independence from oil and gas imports.
- Biogas units produce heat as well as electricity.
- Biogas units can heat buildings or water.
- The economy of rural areas is improved.
- Biogas digestate is a valuable fertiliser.
- Biogas digestate can replace artificial fertilisers.
- Biogas digestate is highly available as a fertiliser to crops and can even be used for top-dressing.
- Biogas is environmentally friendly and and reliable.
- Energy is produced from organic residues that would otherwise be wasted.
- The fermentation process reduces the viability of weed seeds.
