\u201cThe motivation for us at Tekniska verken was to use carbon dioxide instead of venting it and in that way also eliminate fossil carbon dioxide,\u201d says Andreas Bj\u00f6rk. Photo: Tekniska verken, Joakim Sj\u00f6holm.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\nTekniska verken in Link\u00f6ping is the first company in the country to build a plant able to upgrade carbon dioxide from biogas production so that it can be approved for food products. FVB is responsible for integrating the media flow and process equipment, ensuring efficient interaction between the existing and new systems.\n<\/b><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Carbon dioxide is currently formed in biogas production as a relatively clean residual flow, which Tekniska verken previously vented into the atmosphere. The new plant adds additional filtering of the carbon dioxide \u2013 including a carbon filter and drying \u2013 before it is cooled down to liquid form. It is then subjected to exacting analyses to ensure it meets food product quality. When fully operational, the plant will be able to produce 20,000 tonnes of filtered liquid carbon dioxide per year. <\/p>\n\n\n

Carbon dioxide for food products<\/strong>
\n\u201cProducing food-classed carbon dioxide increases the value of our process and we gain a new product to sell that helps us on our journey towards a more resource-effective and climate-friendly society. That\u2019s both strategically important and rewarding,\u201d says Andreas Bj\u00f6rk, Project Leader at Tekniska verken.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company is the first in Sweden<\/strong> to use biogenic carbon dioxide from a biogas plant for food through a process known as CCU (Carbon Capture Utilisation). But the main supplier of the process equipment, Bright Renewables, has built similar plants in countries such as the Netherlands and Germany.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThey know the technology, but this is the biggest installation they have ever built. They have been able to scale up the plants they\u2019ve built previously and I\u2019m in no doubt that it will work,\u201d says Bj\u00f6rk. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The process equipment will be produced and tested at a factory in the Netherlands before being delivered to Tekniska verken during the spring. Four storage tanks able to store a total of 280 tons of filtered liquid carbon dioxide were recently lifted into place. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Investment in the new plant totals SEK 54 million, including a SEK 22 million grant from the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency\u2019s fund Klimatklivet.<\/p>\n

Extending the facility<\/strong>
\nConcurrent with Tekniska verken building its CCU plant, it is also expanding its existing biogas plant in a programme that will successively double production through the year. Most of the production will be converted to liquid biogas (LBG) through a filtering and cooling process.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a fuel much in demand at the moment for heavy transport and industries, which means we see considerable potential for the new expansion,\u201d explains Bj\u00f6rk.<\/p>\n

FVB is involved in the building of the CCU plant and the new biogas plant.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are many elements that must work together, and FVB has helped us connect and integrate new and existing parts of the plant. Our biogas organisation is relatively small, and FVB fulfils a key function as a sounding board on a range of different issues,\u201d states Bj\u00f6rk.<\/p>\n

FVB has also been responsible for the process and instrument diagram (P & I diagram), all information relating to the process flow and 3D models of how the pipes are connected. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve helped with the design work for pipe routing, pipe lanes and bridges, along with how various flows can be taken from point A to point B in purely technical terms,\u201d says David Lind\u00e9n Elofsson of FVB, who acted as Designer and 3D Coordinator for the project.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that we work with 3D models means we can have an iterative process via which we can use feedback and new data from the client, contractors and suppliers to successively update the models,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n

The advantages of 3D<\/strong>
\nAndreas Bj\u00f6rk also believes that working with 3D has considerable benefits. <\/p>\n

\u201c3D has helped us and our piping contractors a lot. When you use a drawing and things don\u2019t end up as intended, you\u2019re forced back to the drawing board. Instead, David has been able to make direct adjustments to the 3D model. Working this way was extra important as we also had plant in operation, which meant we had to be extra careful and smart when deciding when and where to connect different pipes and valves,\u201d he explains.
