PpTek to fit its first filter system in Spain.

Coll Cardus Landfill, Barcelona, Spain.

PpTek has been chosen to protect engines on one of Hera’s key landfill site just outside Barcelona in Spain. Formally Hera have been using an Activated Carbon (AC) system but due to the high ongoing operational costs they are replacing the existing filter with a PpTek regenerative system.
With high contamination levels and additional VOC’s present the regenerative solution is vital to their ongoing plans to expand the landfill site and extract additional gas from the waste. PpTek are to install one of their largest filter systems a BGAKC 5000 to replace the Verdesis AC system. Hera expect to add additional PpTek filters as the biogas production increases in coming years.
Commenting on the contract John Hayward, PpTek’s Director of Chemistry, said “The gas at Coll Cardus is very aggressive and has taken a large filter system. The cost of continually changing the AC must have been very high and very disruptive to site personnel. By fitting the PpTek unit the costs have been dramatically reduced with effectively a new filter each day and the minimum of maintenance required”
