CRA x Adani Infra: Engineered Compression Skid Un-locks Higher Biogas Yields

CRA successfully delivered a custom-built Biogas compression skid system for Adani Infra (India) to support efficient Biogas recirculation within an anaerobic digester. The system was designed to boost digester performance by injecting Biogas through multiple lances in a controlled, sequential manner. The package combined a reliable compression unit with a modulating rotary sequential valve system, improving biological conversion rates and overall Biogas yield.
Designing a Compact, Reliable System for Continuous Biogas Recirculation
Adani Infra (India) required a safe, continuous, and efficient method to recirculate Biogas into its digester system.
The solution had to:
- Operate continuously at defined flow and pressure conditions.
- Meet safety and automation needs within a compact footprint.
- Integrate smoothly with existing plant infrastructure and control systems while adhering to the complex boundary conditions.
Custom-Built Skid with Automated Rotary Vane Compression and Smart Controls
CRA engineered and delivered a compact, skid-mounted Biogas compression system equipped with the following core components:
- Compressor Type: Rotary Sliding Vane (Ro-Flo Compressors.
- Rated Flow: 250 Nm³/hr
- Discharge Pressure: 9–10 psi
CRA’s relationship with Ro-Flo improves the quality and customizability of our compressors. The system includes solenoid valves for automated operation, enabling controlled gas distribution. CRA also aided in integrating the package with Adani Infra's systems for reliable performance.
Enhanced Digester Efficiency, Reliability, and Seamless Integration
- Improved Digester Performance: Consistent and controlled Biogas recirculation enhanced microbial activity.
- High Operational Reliability: An automated valve system and dedicated backup compressor per channel ensured high redundancy.
- Optimized Process Control: Flexible Biogas distribution enabled better biological efficiency and system responsiveness.
- Seamless Integration: CRA’s long-standing partnership with a veteran compressor manufacturer ensured seamless system integration and high customizability.
- On-Time Delivery: The System was designed, built, tested, and commissioned within agreed timelines.
