On behalf of its customers, BTS Biogas can:

  • prepare the technical/environmental, construction and fire prevention documentation to obtain the single permit of Legislative Decree 387/2003 and PAS Legislative Decree 28/2011;
  • prepare ENEL/SNAM connection applications for connection to power lines and methane pipelines;
  • for plants powered by FORSU/organic waste, produce complete PAUR and AIA files;

Finally, BTS can actively support its clients in presenting the project to regional, provincial and municipal public bodies and participate in the necessary service conferences and technical meetings at the administrations and bodies involved in the authorisation procedure.

The consultancy service is aimed at all companies that are planning to build a biogas and/or biomethane plant, regardless of the technology to be installed. In this case the drawings must be provided by the client or the technology supplier of the same.
