Latrobe City Council has been nominated as a finalist for the Industry leader award in the Premier’s Sustainability Awards 2021!

The Premiers Sustainability Awards are held annually to recognise Victoria’s industries and community who are paving the way to a sustainable future.

Latrobe City Council is a finalist in the ‘Clean, affordable and secure energy’ category after being recognised for their application of environmentally friendly technologies to create energy and minimise emissions. A key factor in their finalist nomination, Latrobe’s Hyland Highway Landfill utilises a Evo Energy 2G Avus800b Landfill Biogas system which converts landfill gas to electricity.

The system runs continuously, producing on average 7,000MWh of electricity to offset the vast majority of Latrobe City Council’s total electricity consumption.  By converting landfill waste to clean and renewable energy, Hyland Highway Landfill can greatly reduce their energy consumption and impact on the environment.

Winners are announced at the online ceremony on the 23^rd of November, so keep your eyes peeled for the results!

Evo Energy are ecstatic to announce our incredible achievement at the SPASA National Awards Ceremony!

We have been recognised for our achievements in sustainability, being awarded the ‘Sustainable Project’ of the year award for the entirety of Australia.

Evo’s project at Cook & Phillip Park Aquatic Centre has been recognised for its incredible sustainable solution involving both cogeneration equipment & heat pumps which will see the centre reduce their energy consumption, energy costs and carbon emissions.

The SPASA Australia Awards of Excellence are the swimming pool and spa industry’s most prestigious awards, attracting entries from every region in Australia and showcasing achievements in construction, design, manufacturing, supply, products, retail and service.

Kilcoy Pastoral Company has become the recipient of a 4000kW multi-unit project with biological gas treatment. Evo ET’s Cogeneration solution will utilise their waste product by converting it to clean and renewable energy, saving the company hugely on operational costs whilst also reducing their impact on the environment. The project is currently in its final stages, with commissioning being completed within the coming few weeks before handover.

The Kilcoy Pastoral Company is one of Australia’s largest beef processors and are well recognised for their high quality beef products both nationally and internationally. The company has committed to sustainable operation to reduce their environmental impact and are continually seeking to implement new technology that will allow them to reach these goals.

In total, 3 CHP units totalling 4000kW were installed and will convert waste product to renewable energy. This project also included the supply and delivery of a turnkey biogas treatment plant including: TS biological scrubber, 2 biogas blowers, 1500kg active carbon filter tank, biogas analyser and heat pumps for scrubber temp control and gas chilling.

The Biogas treatment plant consists of the following components.

• 2x Low pressure biogas delivery blowers
• 1x TS Biological scrubber 2000m3/hr flowrate H2S inlet 1000ppm to H2S outlet less than 100ppm
• 1x Gas dehumidification system
• 2x 2000L Activated Carbon Tanks
• 1x High pressure biogas delivery blower
• 3x EvoHeat Command heat pumps for cooling and heating of the above processes

The Biological scrubber is designed to remove the vast majority of the H2S in the biogas. The gas is then dehumidified and passed through the two 2000L Activated carbon filters before being boosted by a biogas blower and delivered up to the 4MW power station. The three EvoHeat heat pumps provide heating and cooling to control temperature inside the Biological Scrubber, and also cooling to remove moisture from the biogas being delivered to the engines.
