Completed projects

Biogas and biomethane project references

Four international plant projects demonstrate my experience in process engineering, project management, construction supervision and commissioning of biogas and biomethane plants for challenging biogenic residues.

The references cover plants in Germany, Indonesia, China and Serbia. They document technical implementation from further development of the plant concept and coordination of construction through to commissioning and operator training.

Project expertise

Experience across the complete project chain

The references demonstrate practical experience with different feedstocks, international supply chains and complex interfaces between process engineering, construction and plant operation.

Process engineering implementation

Plant concepts for biogenic residues are aligned with feedstock properties, process stability, energy yield and operational requirements.

International project coordination

Technical interfaces, suppliers, construction progress, open issues and decisions are coordinated in a structured manner.

Commissioning and knowledge transfer

Controlled start-up, technical acceptance and operator training support the transition to stable plant operation.
