Description
In 2024, DTC Soluciones together with a company in the food processing sector implemented a distributed generation system powered by biogas, focused on covering part of their thermal needs for water heating, a critical stage in their production line.
Two distributed generation units were installed, configured to operate with biogas generated from waste from the same process. The system provides electric power and recovers heat to directly feed the water heating systems.
