Elektro-Anlagen Röring GmbH equips biogas plants with Yaskawa AC drives

Delivery performance saves major contract

A major order was received from the US, but unexpectedly the AC drives ordered were not available. Like many companies, Elektro-Anlagen Röring GmbH was faced with a difficult situation in 2022. Nevertheless, a solution was quickly found: Yaskawa had the right components in stock - and impressed the company from Vreden (Germany) as the project progressed, not only with its high delivery performance, but also with the advantages of the universally applicable A1000 series of AC drives.

The "Green transformation" is still underway in the US. In this context, an energy source that has hardly been used in the US to date is gaining in importance, driven by the US government: biogas (renewable natural gas, RNG) from cattle manure. For the operators of large dairy cow farms across the country, the production of biogas and its processing into biomethane offers additional benefits. The biomethane produced locally and fed into the grid provides an additional source of income for the farms. And they therefore also make an important contribution to achieving climate and sustainability goals as well as to the decarbonization and energy security of the country. Biomethane production is also more sustainable than the currently prevalent energy production through fracking.

In many cases, the necessary production and processing plants are sourced from Germany, where biogas is already being produced on a larger scale than in the USA. EnviTec Biogas AG, an experienced player in the biogas plant market, relies on switchgear from the town of Vreden (Germany): Elektro-Anlagen Röring GmbH has been synonymous with customized electrical engineering since 1990. When it comes to maximum process stability for machines and systems, customers around the world rely on the experience and expertise of Elektro-Anlagen Röring's team of around 70 people.
