The Value of CHP Servicing in Biogas Plants – How BioContractors Keeps Them Running at Their Best
Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems are the beating heart of many anaerobic digestion and biogas plants. By generating electricity while capturing waste heat for on‑site use, CHP delivers outstanding efficiency. As highlighted by industry leader 2G Energy, biogas CHP allows operators to produce renewable electricity and supply thermal energy for critical processes such as drying feedstocks, heating digesters, or supporting nearby facilities. From agricultural operations to wastewater treatment plants and industrial sites, CHP systems make renewable energy work harder.
Upgrading to modern control panels and digital monitoring doesn’t just keep these systems compliant – it drives higher uptime, greater efficiency, and lower emissions.
BioContractors’ CHP Expertise
At BioContractors, we specialise in servicing CHP engines from leading manufacturers including 2G and Jenbacher. Our engineers work at the cutting edge of control technology and preventative maintenance, ensuring every kilowatt of your biogas output is put to work.
Our CHP services include:
Custom control programming – Using COMAP control systems to optimise performance and integrate seamlessly with your plant SCADA.
Fault finding and diagnostics – Pinpointing potential issues before they lead to costly failures.
Preventative maintenance and engine overhauls – Scheduled servicing to keep your engine operating at peak efficiency.
Remote monitoring and control panel upgrades – Enabling predictive maintenance, remote restarts, and fast intervention to maximise uptime.
Commissioning and decommissioning – Safe, efficient integration or retirement of CHP engines in new or existing plants.
Why Professional CHP Servicing Matters
A well‑serviced CHP unit isn’t just a piece of equipment – it’s a profit centre for your plant. Here’s why investing in specialist servicing pays back:
Improved efficiency and output – Optimised programming ensures you get the maximum electrical and thermal energy from each cubic metre of biogas.
Reduced downtime – Predictive maintenance and remote monitoring allow rapid fault resolution.
Lower emissions – Modern controls enhance combustion and minimise pollutants.
Compliance and longevity – Expert care keeps engines within emissions limits and extends their operational life.
CHP in the Biogas Industry
Across the AD and biogas sector, CHP is the cornerstone of energy generation. Agricultural digesters use it to power farms and heat barns. Wastewater treatment plants rely on it to offset grid costs and heat sludge digesters. Industrial facilities use CHP to power manufacturing and provide process heat.
Increasingly, operators are upgrading to digital control panels and remote monitoring as standard. This allows real‑time performance tracking and swift intervention – helping plants stay ahead of faults, reduce operating costs, and improve carbon savings.
How BioContractors Supports Your CHP
As part of our biogas O&M services, we integrate CHP care into your wider plant maintenance strategy. Whether you need a one‑off overhaul, a long‑term service agreement, or a control system upgrade, BioContractors delivers solutions that keep your plant generating efficiently, reliably, and cleanly.
