328,500 MMBtu Dairy Digester-to-RNG Facility

Venture serves as Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) Contractor to Design, build, and construct a DVO four cell plug flow digester, RNG gas upgrading facility using biodesulfurization and membranes, and complete digestate treatment to separate fibrous solids and dry solids for animal bedding. We will also coordinate install of 14-mile force main wastewater pipeline and a 1.1-mile gas pipeline to a meter and regulation station for gas injection into TransCanada interstate gas pipeline. Methane will be captured from three dairy farms. The manure from the cows at these farms will provide feedstock for the digesters and when completed, this facility is expected to generate roughly 328,500 MMBtu of RNG per year, making it one of the biggest in the country.

Currently, all of the construction and most of the commissioning work has been completed! The commissioning on the DVO Digester and digestate processing has been completed, and the decanter commissioning was completed in June of 2022. We’ve also completed the cold commissioning of the RNG Facility, but still need to execute the hot commissioning of the RNG Facility, which will be performed after the final manure supply agreement between the client and dairy is finalized.
