Azola BIO
A cryogenic liquefaction solution to temporarily store excess biomethane production from AD plants.
Label Date

From
France
Maturity stage
TRL 6 / 7 - Prototype demonstration 1:1
Azola BIO aims to tackle the following problems: -Loss of income impacting biomethane injection projects due to seasonal/recurrent low gas demand periods -Lost biomethane injected into gas distribution networks due to flared production as a response to congestion occurrences. -Lack of profitability for certain remote methanization projects that cannot be connected to a nearby network mesh. Azola developed a modular, no rotary machinery and low CAPEX solution for biomethane producers that comes with an integrated polishing, liquefaction-cryogenic storage, vaporization-reinjection, and plant control solution. The process uses an open cycle of liquid nitrogen for liquefaction, and where nitrogen is further valorised to regenerate the polishing unit's adsorption columns. The reinjection module uses a pressure build up PBU system, to vaporize and reinject the stored liquid biomethane into the grid. The whole process is automated for start-up and shutdown and could be remotely controlled and operated.
The Environmental Benefits
- •Avoid the release into the atmosphere of 172 tonnes of CO2
- •Nitrogen is valorised to regenerate the polishing unit's adsorption columns
The Financial Benefits
- •Save around 12% of annual production capacity
- •Losses avoided by Azola: around 260,000 Nm3/year, approximately 260 k€/year
- •A less than 4 years payback-period
