Spanish firm Calvera helps expand biogas throughout Europe
Spanish company Calvera, specialized in storage and transportation of high pressure compressed gases, is playing an importing role in expanding biogas usage in Europe. The company’s technology and equipment will be the protagonists of biogas and compressed gas distribution in Northern Europe, following the agreement reached with Finnish company Envor Protect Oy, the number one corporation of the sector in this nation.
The first step will be sending 19 NGPod devices manufactured in Epila to Finland, adding further shipments over the next weeks. With over 20 years of experience, Envor Protect Oy handles the complete cycle, from biogas production to storage and distribution to the end customers that include all kinds of industries or gas stations; to this end, it will use Calvera equipment, which distribution it will handle in Finland, Sweden, and Estonia. Envor is involved in large projects, such as the construction of a new biogas plant in Finland, with a budget of around €20 million.
The NGPod is a module for the transportation and distribution of CNG and biogas at 250 pressure bars for multiple clients with low and medium consumption. It allows to offer the utmost efficiency to tend to each customer’s needs, with an optimized exchange of empty cylinders for full ones, and it is touted as an ideal solution to meet the demand from gas distributing companies that need to deliver their product in remote areas – whether in mountainous or scattered regions – or to clients from the tertiary sector, with low consumption and far from conventional transport infrastructures.
The advantages of the NGPod, a product that required great R&D and engineering efforts, go beyond conventional deposits and that translates into higher efficacy in logistic processes and lower filling or manipulation costs – all modules can be filled at the same time.
To facilitate their use, Grupo Calvera also developed the NG TRUCK solution, a trailer that is compatible with all towing vehicles in the market that allows transporting 10 NGPod units and contemplates joint fixing and filling, as well as loading and unloading, thanks to the integrated crane that can be incorporated.
