Located in the Oise region, the Decarsin farm covers several hectares and is characterized by a diversified crop production.
In 2018, the owners created the company METHADEC, specializing in the production of renewable gaseous fuels in order to generate green, local energy.
The company operates and manages a methanization unit that transforms organic substrates through anaerobic digestion, producing a methane-rich biogas.
This biogas is currently purified and then injected into the natural gas distribution network (GRDF) in the form of biomethane.
Looking to go further in the valorization of its gas, METHADEC is now considering dedicating part of it to self-consumption, particularly to supply a BioCNG station intended to refuel its fleet of vehicles and agricultural machinery.
Given the large agricultural area operated, the company is also seeking a mobile gas solution, enabling tractors to be supplied directly in the fields, without having to systematically return to the farm for refueling.
An initial pre-project phase made it possible to study the implementation of an above-ground BioCNG service station of the EVOBLOC type on the site. The design phase is currently underway and includes detailed 3D modeling of the installations.
The farm-based BioCNG station will allow:
With an output pressure from the methanizer of 10 bar, the installation includes two pressure regulators to reduce the pressure to 300 mbar at the inlet of the BAUER compressor.
The station will be equipped with two dispensing nozzles:
To ensure the autonomy of agricultural machinery under real operating conditions, a rack from the METHAMOUV range has been specifically developed to meet the needs of METHADEC and the identified consumption levels. It complies with European ADR regulations governing the transport of dangerous goods by road.
This mobile gas solution developed by Blocalps is equipped with 8 cylinders of 180 liters and can be towed by agricultural equipment or vehicles to be positioned directly at the edge of fields. Through an onboard filling line, tractors can connect to the rack and refuel directly on-site.
A significant gain in time and autonomy for operators!
With over 70 years of experience in manufacturing above-ground and containerized service stations, we offer turnkey CNG stations that are safe and perfectly suited to the specific needs of farms and agricultural methanization units.
Contact us to support you in your methane valorization project!
The next phase of the project will focus on the manufacturing of the equipment and its installation on site.
