In 2024, YHR Tanks delivered a groundbreaking manure treatment and biogas production project for a large-scale livestock farm in Malaysia, processing cow manure from 10,000 cattle to produce 12,000 m³ of biogas daily. This innovative project showcases YHR Tanks’ expertise in providing sustainable, high-efficiency biogas solutions, turning agricultural waste into renewable energy for self-generated electricity. Below, we explore the project’s details, challenges, and YHR Tanks’ tailored solutions that set a new standard for environmental and operational excellence.
Location: Malaysia
Construction Year: 2024
Raw Material: Cow manure
Daily Biogas Production: 12,000 m³
Biogas Application: Self-use electricity generation
Key Equipment: YHR Tanks' glass fused bolted steel tanks, biogas processing systems, ground-mounted floating gas holder, and auxiliary equipment
This large-scale dairy farm, housing 10,000 cattle, generates significant volumes of manure daily. YHR Tanks designed and implemented a comprehensive biogas system to process this organic waste, producing renewable energy to power the farm's operations while reducing environmental impact. The project aligns with Malaysia's push for sustainable agriculture and clean energy, as highlighted by regional studies on biogas potential from farm animal waste.
The farm faced several challenges:
Waste Management: Handling the substantial manure output from 10,000 cattle required an efficient, scalable solution to prevent environmental pollution.
Energy Costs: Rising electricity costs prompted the farm to seek self-sufficient energy generation.
Regulatory Compliance: The project needed to meet Malaysia's environmental and agricultural regulations for waste treatment and renewable energy production.
Construction Efficiency: The project demanded robust equipment installation, requiring secure handling of heavy components like GFS tanks and heat exchangers.
YHR Tanks' objective was to deliver a turnkey biogas solution that maximized biogas yield, ensured operational reliability, and supported the farm’s sustainability goals.
YHR Tanks deployed its industry-leading Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) tanks, renowned for their durability, corrosion resistance, and rapid installation, to store and process cow manure anaerobically. The system was complemented by advanced biogas processing equipment, including digesters and gas purification units, to achieve a daily biogas output of 12,000 m³. The biogas is used to power on-site generators, providing self-sufficient electricity for the farm's operations, reducing reliance on external energy sources, and lowering operational costs.
