Revico, Saint-Laurent de Cognac site
Sources: ATEE Club Biogaz and Revico
The Saint-Laurent de Cognac site boasts one of the largest and oldest industrial methanizers in France. Since distillery vinasse is a major source of organic pollution, an anaerobic treatment process was set up in 1984 to process vinasse from the distilleries in the Cognac vineyards (around 1,400).
Initially comprising 2 infinitely mixed downflow methanizers (manufacturer: SGN, Saint Gobain Technologies Nouvelles), the plant's capacity was subsequently increased with the construction of 2 further methanizers in 1990.
