The SEMECS Biomethanization Facility Varennes is designed for a<br />

processing capacity of 40,000 TPY t/a of Source Segregated Organics<br />

(SSO), grass clippings, septage and liquid waste.<br />

SEMECS (“Societe of Economic mixte de l’est de la Couronne Sud<br />

Inc.”) is a PPP established in 2012 between three public Regional<br />

County Municipalities (RCM’s) and a private partner, BiogazEG.<br />

The Facility facility will count for more than 40 % of the organics diversion<br />

needs from these RCM’s <strong>to</strong> achieve the Quebec government’s mandated<br />

policy objective in banning organics from landfills by 2022.<br />

The technological platform for the facility is the BTA ® Process. SSO<br />

and grass clippings will be pre-treated via the BTA ® Hydro-mechanical<br />

Pre-treatment System of pulping and grit removal, others will<br />

be fed directly <strong>to</strong> the two digesters.<br />

Part of the biogas will be used <strong>to</strong> cover the heat demand of the mesophilic<br />

digestion process. Additional biogas will be cleaned-up for<br />

use at the on-site GreenField Ethanol Facility <strong>to</strong> <strong>to</strong> offset up up <strong>to</strong> <strong>to</strong> 10 10 % % of<br />

its natural gas use. The digestate is dewatered with the reclaim and<br />
