Tomatoes anyone?
As part of the First Renewables biogas upgrade facility we have commenced construction of a regenerative thermal oxidiser (RTO). The RTO is designed to upgrade renewable carbon dioxide (bioCo2) that is produced during the biogas to biomethane upgrade process. Once completed the bioC02 will be pumped into a near-by glasshouse encouraging big, delicious tomatoes to grow!
