The Bio-CNG revolution rests on innovation — in biogas purification, upgrading, and compression technologies. Each stage converts organic waste into clean, usable fuel.

1. Anaerobic Digestion (AD) Technology

Organic feedstock like press mud, Napier grass, and food waste undergo microbial breakdown in oxygen-free digesters, producing raw biogas rich in methane (55–60%).

2. Biogas Purification Units

Advanced systems like water scrubbing, PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption), and membrane separation remove CO₂, H₂S, and moisture, yielding >96% pure methane gas.

3. Compression and Cascade Integration

After upgrading, CBG is compressed up to 250 bar and stored in cascades for easy dispatch.

4. Smart Control Systems

IoT-enabled PLCs and SCADA interfaces monitor plant operations, safety, and energy balance in real time.
