Biogas leading the green future
Sustainability is here, and it’s staying
When we process food waste, animal farm waste and organic wastewater through anaerobic digestion, green biogas is produced which contains between 60% – 65% of Methane. The biogas produced will undergo an upgrading process which will upgrade the biogas to biomethane (>92% methane content). Biomethane has the same molecular composition as natural gas, and is able to be injected directly into the national gas rid such as the Peninsular Gas Utilisation (“PGU”) pipeline network in Malaysia.
A by-product of the anaerobic digestion process is that the digestate produced is considered as organic fertilizer which contains high amounts of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which are major nutrients to plants while at the same time help reduce environmental impact of organic waste materials.
Production of biogas
Malaysia as an agriculture-heavy economy produces a lot of organic waste through food waste from Municipal Solid Waste and animal farm waste from chicken, pig, cow farms. More than 17,000 tonnes of food waste are disposed by Malaysians every day.
Our processes involves mixing food waste, animal waste such as chicken dung and organic wastewater in anaerobic digesters. The bacteria and microorganisms will break down the organics in an oxygen-absent environment and subsequently produce biogas. The biogas produced will contain other elements such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen, water vapor, ammonia, and other trace gases which have to be removed through a process called “upgrading”.
Once the biogas is upgraded to biomethane, then it will be able to be injected to the national gas grid.
Greener fertilizer for the farmers
One of the problems we are trying to solve is caused by the usage of raw chicken dung as fertilizer for the agriculture industry. The usage of raw chicken dung promotes the spread of pathogens which contributes to the severe infestation of flies, and environmental contamination. The organic fertilizer produced from our anaerobic digestion process is nutrient-rich, lower odor and contaminants, and has a lower carbon footprint.
OUR SERVICES FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Prevent leaking of leachate
Preventing the leaking of leachate from the landfill into the sea. This is an ongoing problem for non-sanitary landfills, specifically the Teluk Mengkudu Landfill, which has been ongoing for over 30 years.
Forward Energy halts the leaking by diverting the leachate into our biogas facility to be used as feedstock and subsequently processed through our wastewater treatment plant consisting of constructed wetlands system for the betterment of the environment.
disposal of animal waste
Forward Energy provides disposal services for poultry and animal farm waste to prevent the current widespread usage of raw chicken dung as fertilizer. Raw chicken dung brings a multitude of issues such as severe infestation of flies and bad odour.
To ensure bio-security is always maintained, Forward Energy uses specially designed RORO Bins (Roll-On Roll-Off) with airtight seals around the openings. The RORO Bins are dedicated for each farm that we collect and will not be mixed.
DISPOSAL OF WASTEWATER
Forward Energy provides wastewater disposal services for private companies in the manufacturing industry as our biogas plants come equipped with a Wastewater Treatment Plant utilising the constructed wetlands system which processes wastewater to an acceptable Standard B water.
We can also provide delivery service of our organic liquid fertilizers to your premises.
