New tree plantings around the Ethanol Production Plant include only very large specimens. Over the last few years, Bioagra has planted several thousand trees around the Goświnowice Ethanol Production Plant (ZPE).

Once again Bioagra supported the “September with Country” outdoor event. The aim of the event, which was organized for the eleventh time, was to integrate the community of people with disabilities.

A total of approximately 1 000 people took part in this year’s edition of the outdoor event, which was organized by the Community Self-Help Center of the Caritas of the Opole Diocese in Nysa.

The event was attended by residents of twenty-two centers caring for people with disabilities, pupils from seven kindergartens in Nysa and volunteers from three local educational institutions (Economic School Complex, Technical School Complex and Primary School No. 3) who helped in carrying out the event.

Bioagra was involved in the organization of the “September with Country” event for the second time in a row. The company helped prepare a unique dish in the form of 4 500 dumplings to enhance the event. Mr. Corn also appeared at the event where he took part in numerous games and activities, posed for group photos and entertained the attendees. As usual, participants could enjoy a wide range of attractions, including singing and dancing together, competitions with prizes, playing with holi powders and gold panning.

The annual event integrates the community and builds awareness of the scale and scope of assistance available to disabled people in Nysa.

The final duels for the Nysa 2023 Beach Volleyball Championship took place over the weekend. The event, which was supported by Bioagra, was attended by over 160 players from all over Poland.

As before, the Nysa Championships were played on the pitches on a unique beach on Lake Nyskie. The fans could enjoy the matches and the wonderful view of the wide body of water with mountain peaks in the background.

For the first time the competition, lasting a total of 10 days, was held in the women’s and men’s categories. Over 100 male and 60 female players took part in the championships. An impressive number of 320 matches were played throughout this year’s series of qualifying tournaments and finals. 

Players playing in indoor games of Plus Liga (men) and Tauron Liga (women) were among the starters. Interestingly, this type of volleyball is as effective and fast as indoor volleyball, but it can be much more exciting. In this discipline, players representing lower leagues or even playing only to maintain physical condition have a chance to win duels with professionals.

– Beach volleyball is extremely exciting because every match is a great unknown – says Wojtek Kondracki, organizer of the Nysa Championships on behalf of the Volley Beach Nysa Volleyball Club. – The matches are full of unique drama and unusual twists and spectacular, physics-defying actions. In this discipline, even very reputable players can be defeated by lower ranked players.

Wojtek Kondracki explains this phenomenon by saying that although technical skills and experience in the game are the basis for success, the conditions on the beach even out or sometimes even reverse the odds. Rebounding into a block or impact is hampered by sand, which can be hot and dry like dust or wet and muddy. Matches are played in the open air, regardless of the weather. For example: in last year’s games, at times, the sand on the beach in Nysa reached a temperature of over 70 Celsius degrees.

The organizer of the tournament is the Beach Volley Nysa Volleyball Club. This year’s event was combined with the Grand Prix of the Opole region organized by the Opole Volleyball Association. The Nysa Championships are listed in the central system of the Polish Volleyball Association. This means that the players who took the first 4 places received points in the national ranking of beach volleyball players.

“Goświnowice” Ethanol Production Plant has launched a new investment, which results in a 50% reduction in water vapor emissions from the feed material drying installation. This will reduce the intensity of the smell, as well as the consumption of water and energy needed for production.

Bioagra points out that the investment will help the company keep up with the competition from foreign concerns and remain a leader in the region in the implementation of the postulates of a zero-emission economy. Thanks to the energy recovered from steam, the plant will reduce the consumption of natural gas by 10 percent. Reducing the use of this fossil fuel is a step towards making industrial activities independent of gas as an energy source, as well as reducing CO2 emissions.

– From now on, the plant uses a large part of the energy in the production process, which previously escaped into the atmosphere with steam – Mirosław Obarski explained.

The implementation depends, among others, on the “return” of energy from the end of the technological process to one of the initial stages of production. The energy taken away from hot water vapor – which is formed during the drying of the so-called feed material – will be used, among others, for heating the mash. At the same time, the company’s engineers will reduce the temperature of this process using the so-called low temperature cooking technology.

The development of the solution and preparation for implementation took over two years, and its implementation will take almost half a year in total. For it to work, distant production stages must be connected with a network of technological pipelines. This requires numerous pumps, heat exchangers, expansion tanks and heaters.

Bioagra constantly invests in solutions that reduce its impact on the natural environment and the surrounding area. The company has so far spent tens of millions of zlotys to reduce the smell and sound intensity. A number of improvements and modifications contributed to the reduction of the sound intensity generated by the production installation. The company has also launched a system for reducing the odor generated in the fermentation process, which has been in operation for several years.

The first of the qualifying tournaments for the Nysa Championship in beach volleyball took place in June. The event, supported by Bioagra, has been extended this year by women’s competitions.

The series of tournaments organized on the beautiful beach by Lake Nyskie is held for the third time. From the start, the event has developed a significant reputation and popularity among both volleyball players and fans. The 100% attendance during the weekend competitions, in which 24 pairs of competitors took part, only served as a proof of its recognition.

The tournament is organized by the Beach Volley Nysa Volleyball Club. This year’s event is combined with the Grand Prix of the Opole region, organized by the Opole Volleyball Association. The Nysa Men’s and Women’s Beach Volleyball Championships 2023 have been submitted to the central system of the Polish Volleyball Association, which significantly raises the rank of the event. This means that the competitors who take the first 4 places will receive points for the national ranking of players.
