European Biogas Association - European Biomethane Week 2024
Visit the first-ever production facility of European made activated carbon from spent high-sulphur loaded activated carbon from the biogas industry
Thanks to the opportunity ‘Host your event’ arranged by the European Biogas Association as part of the European Biomethane Week 2024, DESOTEC opens the doors of its brand-new production facility for an exclusive event on the 22nd and 25th of October 2024.
Take a peek behind the curtains
The DESOTEC team is glad to welcome you in Roeselare (Flanders, Belgium) for an engaging plant tour of its new production facility, Production Facility 5.
As from the summer of 2024, this facility brings to the biogas industry a tangible closed-loop recycling of spent high-sulphur loaded activated carbon stemming from the biogas purification, in particular the removal of hydrogen sulphide in biogas, and also in odour management.
High-sulphur loaded activated carbon can contain up to above 50% of solid sulphur after use. So far there has been no other solutions but to dispose them of. With the game-changing PF5 production line, single-use activated carbon grades for biogas desulphurization is now a thing of the past.
What you will do during that day
Upon arrival at DESOTEC, delegates will be welcomed with an introduction to the company and an overview of the ins and outs of the PF5 facility.
Visiting groups will then be formed and assigned to designated guides, who will provide personal protective equipment (PPE) prior to the plant tour. A shuttle bus will transport attendees to the production facilities and back.
The plant tour is focused on the reactivation facilities of activated carbon grades used for biogas cleaning-up and on mobile filters.
After the visit, a selection of refreshments will be served, facilitating exchanges and networking opportunities. Participants will then return to the Brussels location.
