Bioagra SA is currently Poland’s largest producer of bioethanol and ethanol produced from corn grain. The company’s production plant, which is located near Nysa, is one of the largest employers in the region. Nearly 150 people work there. A much larger number of people find jobs in the company’s economic environment, including in the services and storage sector, transport and agriculture. The company was awarded in the Employer of the Year competition by the Nysa County in the category of medium and large enterprise. In its selection, the chapter was mainly guided by the state and stability of employment in enterprises, the amount of average employee remuneration, innovation and charity.

The company also cooperates with nearly 1,400 farmers and agricultural companies from all over the country. As many as 700 of them come from the Opolskie Voivodeship and satisfy nearly 40% of company’s demand for corn grain.

Two tons of feed materials and prepaid cards with Mr. Corn were funded by Bioagra SA for the winners of the 17th National Competition “Safe Farm” and the 8th edition of the art competition for children, entitled “The machine works but the child watches.” Both contests are regularly organized by the Agricultural Social Insurance Fund (KRUS).

Both competitions have an important social aspect – their goal is to promote farm security, including child safety.

“Safe Farm” is one of many preventive actions of the Agricultural Social Insurance Fund (KRUS) in the improvement of occupational health and safety on farms. The competition was organized in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development as well as the National Labor Inspectorate and the National Center for Agricultural Support, the Agency for Restructuring and Modernization of Agriculture. The honorary patronage was taken by the President of the Republic of Poland Andrzej Duda. Art competition for children “The machine works but the child observes”, whose patron was Jan Krzysztof Ardanowski, the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, is organized to promote positive behavior related to the work and play of children on the farm among schoolchildren from primary schools in rural areas.

The competition also popularizes the “List of particularly dangerous activities related to running a farm”, which must not be entrusted to children under 16 years of age. This year’s competition slogan: “Safe in the countryside: the machine works but the child watches” is to draw attention to the ways of preventing accidents related to the presence of agricultural machinery and equipment on farms. The young authors of the winning entries received payment cards with Mr. Corn, each worth PLN 100.

When assessing farms in the ‘Safe Farm’ competition, the jury took into account the organization of the farm bypass and yard, order within the yard, buildings and work stations, technical condition of livestock and farm buildings, technical condition of machines, devices and tools used on the farm, conditions of handling and living of farm animals, equipping with work clothes and personal protective equipment, storage of plant protection products and other hazardous substances. The jury also took into account the aesthetics of farms, applied organizational, technological and technical solutions affecting the safety of people working and staying on a farm.

The safest farm in the Nysa poviat was the farm of Dorota and Waldemar Rusek from Otmuchów. The farm of Rose and Robert Przywar from Prusinowice, Pakosławice commune was also awarded. Each of them received a ton of feed materials.

Bioagra SA has set up the so-called absorber, the first part of the system for reducing the intensity of aroma generated in the production of ethanol. In this complicated operation – the device measures nearly 20 meters and weighs almost 30 tons – a dozen or so people and two specialized cranes participated.

The absorber, also known as ethanol scrubber, developed at the request of the company by a team of Polish and American experts, was set up very efficiently. Despite the fact that it weighs several dozen tons and its target location is practically the interior of the production complex. To carry out this operation, two cranes were used, which together lifted the device from the truck. Then, specialized equipment with a lifting capacity of 70 tons took over the weight of the absorber and lifted it above the roofs of the plant. Then he slowly lowered the washer between the components of the installation onto the previously prepared foundation with special fixings.

In the coming weeks, the ethanol scrubber will be included in the technological process. Testing and calibrating the installation with a new device will be conducted next month. This is a key operation for the proper functioning of the entire system. The scrubber’s task is to condense the maximum amount of ethanol rising from the fermentation vats and return it to the technological process. This will allow for effective reduction of alcohol vapors and enable the implementation of the second stage of the investment. It will be the construction of a catalytic oxidation device. According to experts, the solution will help to eliminate the characteristic smell that comes from the fermentation process. It can be felt inside and around the plant depending on weather conditions.

Bioagra SA has been running a program to reduce its impact on the environment since 2018. The company has implemented measures despite the fact that it produces ethanol in accordance with the standards in force in both Poland and the European Union. The company’s management has guaranteed the local community that it will commission the development and implementation of solutions that will permanently reduce the intensity of smell and sound generated in the production of ethanol.

Only recently has Bioagra SA allocated over PLN 8 000 000 for this purpose. The company silenced the grain elevator tower windows and fans at its top last November. Specially designed sound suppressors were mounted on them. Before that, the company replaced a new part of production equipment, and also modernized the infrastructure for unloading corn grain, which reaches the plant by railway wagons. The corn grain cleaning line was also modernized to move the loading of the so-called chaff into the plant and reduce the volume of sound propagating towards Goświnowice. For the same purpose, foundations that will extend the elevator line and provide a natural sound screen have been poured into new grain tanks in recent months.

Bioagra SA is preparing the assembly of ethanol scrubber, which is part of the odor reduction system arising from the production of ethanol. This week, the company turned off part of the installation to prepare a place where a nearly 20-meter device weighing almost 30 tons will stand.

The fermentation odor reduction system was developed by a team of Polish and American experts commissioned by Bioagra SA. A solution consisting of the so-called ethanol scrubbers and catalytic oxidation equipment was created based on research conducted in and around the plant. The ethanol scrubber, the first element of the system, has already been practically built and in a few weeks will arrive by special road transport to the “Goświnowice” Ethanol Plant. The company must now prepare the foundations for a structure weighing nearly 30 tons.

The installation of the scrubber, according to the plan, should take place at the end of April this year. Next month, testing and calibrating the installation with a new device will be conducted. This is a key operation for the proper functioning of the entire system. The scrubber’s task is to condense the maximum amount of ethanol rising from the fermentation vats and return it to the technological process. This will allow effective reduction of alcohol vapors and will enable the implementation of the second stage of the investment, which will be the construction of a catalytic oxidation device.
