Ground-breaking biogas plant software can “save producers €50,000 each year”
“Simply speaking, we provide the solution for every biogas producer to improve its business operations management,” said Linas Jurgutis, CEO, as he explained this major technological innovation.
It does so with bioGASMAS’ software-as-a-service product, a business management tool. The software enables biogas producers to produce more biogas every year, gain agility, competencies and ensure operational excellence in biogas business operations.
The all-in-one platform works as a biogas business GPS, guiding the biogas producer towards better business results. It covers every aspect of the biogas production value chain:
• CO2 footprint
• Feedstock storage
• Feedstock consumption
• Biogas production process (anaerobic digestion)
• Digestate management
• Operational expenses
• Production/expenses planning
• Team management (team tasks)
• Machinery management (predictive maintenance)
• Data driven analytics (AI data management, process troubleshooting)
• Reporting
bioGASMAS allows businesses to operate with more ease. Nothing new is required, the software simply ensures daily operations run more smoothly, with tasks being set and performed more quickly.
“The end user — biogas producers — are expected to insert daily operational data and get back the data driven insights about the operational trends, resulting in increased efficiency and increased green product production,” said Jurgutis. “While working on the data inputs, the bioGASMAS system becomes a data analyst — a virtual team member who increases teams’ competencies and operational standards to the next level.”
€50,000 savings per year
So how can the software enable biogas producers to avoid unnecessary costs?
“All in all, we estimate up to 5% full load hours increase, as well as savings of HR, machinery management, feedstock consumption and increased green biogas yields,” said Jurgutis.
bioGASMAS allows the user to increase full-load operational hours, by continuously analysing business data and production efficiency to identify bottlenecks.
Additionally, the software encourages predictive, sophisticated maintenance of the user’s machinery. This helps to save on operational expenses via unexpected maintenance of the devices at biogas power plants.
“The same goes for the team management: bioGASMAS helps you to coordinate your teams’ tasks and everyday operations at the plant while sending immediate notifications on the bioGASMAS platform and follow the progress on each task,” added Jurgutis. “It’s a huge help for maintenance operations teams.”
In short, based on the data bioGASMAS receives, it can think for the user, while delivering notifications with informed suggestions for actions on the business.
Its other feature is the ease it brings to reporting: “From production to environmental footprint, bioGASMAS-generated automated reports make auditing and certification processes a breeze.”
How it works
The software makes agile, data-driven decisions. In fact, it analyses daily input data, and delivers analytical results via notifications. It therefore foresees operational trends and tendencies, and minimises the risks of process downtimes.
As the bioGASMAS software gathers, sorts and analyses the biogas business data, it increases the competencies of the operator’s business management team — which minimises risks related to HR management.
Not only that, but, with all operational data, the software is able to determine exactly how green the product is and what its CO2 footprint is — be it in kWh electricity or MJ bioCH4. This makes audit preparations a lot easier, and empowers organisations to be in charge of accurate data to prove, without doubt, the green credentials of their product.
“Budgeting is as easy as a breeze,” Jurgutis went on to say. “You can form annual budgets in minutes, confirm them, track them and compare the ‘plan vs fact’ results by a few clicks in the bioGASMAS platform.”
“Track the feedstock storage quantities and qualities, receive valuable insights/notifications about what is going on with your input mix, and learn how to improve it — resulting in increased annual biogas yields.
“Also, the bioGASMAS delivers strong agility. It serves the chance to manage and perform the tasks faster, to plan better; it simply saves valuable time for managers and operators.”
Next steps
Jurgutis added that the first software users have already experienced and confirmed the benefit and significant operational advantages it provides. Since the system has been developed in several languages, bioGASMAS can offer its software to any biogas market in the world.
“bioGASMAS is a versatile digital biogas business partner, technologist, data analyst, reporter and biogas PRO tailored to your requirements,” he added.
“Digitalise your biogas management and take your biogas business to the next level with bioGASMAS. “We invite you to try our product for free, experience the benefits, fully master our system and take your biogas business management to a new level.
“Let’s get in touch.”
