QuestAir to supply system to recover methane from biogas at a Swiss anaerobic digester

29 Jan 2007 - QuestAir Technologies Inc. announced that it has received an order for a M-3200 PSA system to recover pipeline grade methane from biogas generated by an anaerobic digester in Lavigny, Switzerland.
 
Verdesis Suisse SA has purchased QuestAir's system as part of a new plant that will recover methane from biogas generated by the anaerobic digestion of organic wastes at the Lavigny site. The methane recovery plant will be owned and operated Cosvegaz S.A., a Swiss gas utility, and product methane from the plant will be injected into the local natural gas distribution grid operated by Cosvegaz.
 
Jonathan Wilkinson, President and CEO of QuestAir said: "We are extremely pleased to secure our first sale into the European biogas market, which represents an exciting growth opportunity for QuestAir. We have seen growing interest across the EU in the use of renewable sources of methane to supplement or replace imported natural gas. In addition, government programs in several EU countries are promoting the use of biogas as a carbon neutral source of compressed natural gas (CNG) transportation fuel for busses and cars."
