Biogas cogeneration facility configured to manufacture biogas from a mix feedstock input comprising of animal by-products, cattle and dairy manure, and organic food resources involving cheese whey and glycerin. The facility is constructed to employ high temperature, high pressure thermal hydrolysis in the pre-treatment of both specified and non-specified risk material. The facility is to comprise of the following process areas: raw material receiving and transfer, raw product storage, feedstock pre-treatment, biogas production and conditioning; treated sludge storage and management and power production. Combined heat and power cogeneration units for a combined output capacity of 3.2 MW are to be installed for power production. Facility is to be assembled for sale of both thermal energy via district heating and electricity via connection to the grid.
