Welgedacht Wastewater Treatment Works
A 2,150 m³ double-membrane gas holder giving the works steady sewage gas for utilisation.

Gas production and withdrawal are never constant on a biogas plant. A gas holder buffers the difference, and Renew has partnered with Agrotel CenoTec, formerly Sattler, who invented the double-membrane gas holder in 1981.
The double-membrane design has proved itself over four decades and is now standard in modern wastewater treatment plant design. An outer membrane, kept taut by a small support-air blower, protects the inner gas membrane from weather and UV while the gas volume inside rises and falls freely.
The same membrane technology provides single- and double-layer digester roofs and flexible biogas buffer bags, and it is equally at home storing other combustible gases.
