Stavanger, Norway: Upgrading Plant for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant

Project Introduction

The upgrading plant was built and delivered in 2016 to a municipal wastewater treatment plant outside Stavanger in Norway. The wastewater treatment facility wishes to use food waste from the region and biomass from local farmers in addition to sludge. A large upgrading plant was bought to secure the future capacity.

At the same time, the upgrading plant supports Norway’s goal for carbon neutrality in 2050. The IVAR-plant is dimensioned for 1,500 Nm3/h of biogas and can deliver up to 1000 Nm3/h of biomethane to the local gas grid.

The upgrading plant is placed to the North Sea coast and is particularly weather exposed. To lengthen the lifetime of the plant, Ammongas has customised and optimised the equipment to the harsh environment. Simultaneously, the equipment has the same corrosion class that is normally used on ships, and the equipment has been reinforced to withstand the wind load.

All in all, the plant that has been delivered to IVAR is tailored to the needs of the waste water facility, as well as the external factors in such a way that secures the best possible conditions for optimal operation and a long lifetime.
