DIMO, a leading diversified conglomerate in Sri Lanka, partnered with HomeBiogas, a global leader in developing off-grid biogas systems based in Israel, to introduce a host of HomeBiogas products which enable people and businesses in Sri Lanka to transform their organic waste into self-made clean cooking gas and organic liquid fertiliser.

Through this partnership, DIMO introduces three biogas systems to the Sri Lankan market. The HomeBiogas system 2 is for small-scale households (urban and pre-urban areas), the HomeBiogas system 4 is for households with larger backyard space and HomeBiogas system 6 caters to businesses such as small restaurants and farms, each converting organic waste into clean cooking gas and organic liquid fertiliser. Each system has four major components, the digestive tank, the gas tank, the inlets, and the outlets. Additionally, gas stoves and accessories such as gas filters will also be provided. The complete installation process of each system takes approximately two hours.

Ranjith Pandithage, Chairman & Managing Director of DIMO said, “We believe that this is a sustainable approach, which will enable us to reduce the country’s carbon footprint and find solutions for issues such as sourcing clean energy, waste management, and access to organic fertiliser. DIMO is proud to partner HomeBiogas to introduce these solutions to the nation and to continue fuelling the dreams and aspirations of all Sri Lankans.”

Once the system is installed at either the residence or business location, the digestive tank must be fed with a mix of manure and water and kept for 21 days for activation. The digestive tank must be kept on a flat surface while being exposed to sunlight. Once activated, the system will convert organic waste into cooking gas and liquid fertiliser and users can feed their organic waste to continue the process. All three types of biogas systems produce gas that is sufficient for 2 to 6 cooking hours and can produce 8L to 120L liquid fertiliser from 4 to 12 liters of organic waste or animal manure, per day, depending on their capacities.

Rajeev Pandithage, Executive Director of DIMO said, “This is an ideal economical solution for the rural farmers as this will fulfill the organic fertilizer requirement while providing access to clean cooking gas that will ensure a sustainable agriculture with minimal effort, simply by recycling organic waste.”

“HomeBiogas systems obtained a European CE certificate for safety. The digestive tanks included in these systems are made from durable, high-quality material with a lifespan of 15 years and are easy to transport and install. The systems are also equipped with filters, sealed tanks, and gas release valves to ensure the utmost safety of the users. Moreover, HomeBiogas is an ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 Certified company”, he further added.

DIMO has already installed HomeBiogas systems in Polonnaruwa – Kandakaduwa – Army Farm, Kandy -Digana – Mid Country Livestock Development and Training Center and Agarapathana – Manikpalama – National Livestock Development Board (NLDB) Farm. Sharing his experience on HomeBiogas systems Dr. Suneth Disnaka, General Manager at NLDB said “The HomeBiogas systems come with many greatly beneficial features. They fit the aesthetic of the new generation, and the installation and maintenance processes are also convenient. These systems are manufactured using high-quality material to minimise damage to the environment while the above-ground installation minimises risk, as no digging needs to take place. I strongly believe that they create a positive and sustainable impact.”

These biogas systems are introduced to the market at reasonable costs and consist of minimum maintenance costs. They can be installed in any geographical location and DIMO has already installed them in various geographical areas around the country. As the local partner of HomeBiogas, DIMO, with over 8 decades of excellence in the engineering sphere, will facilitate the installation and service of these systems around the country.

DIMO, a leading diversified conglomerate in Sri Lanka, is delighted to announce the realigning of its power and energy operations under the new brand identity: DIMO Energy which operates in three main pillars High Voltage Power Solution, Medium Voltage & Low Voltage Power Solutions and Renewable Energy Solutions. DIMO Energy provides comprehensive solutions in the electrical, power and energy solutions spheres while expanding the company’s current portfolio to include cogeneration solutions and agrivoltaics.

With a customer-centric approach of transforming to a one-stop shop, DIMO Energy ensures provision of cutting-edge solutions, eliminating the duplication of time, effort, and money in power generation processes. Drawing upon decades of unparalleled expertise and know-how, each sub-activity within the solution is optimized to deliver an outcome on par with that of international power generation solutions.

In today’s world, businesses across Sri Lanka and beyond face the challenge of rising energy costs. DIMO Energy has swiftly responded to this challenge by exploring the avenues of cogeneration solutions that optimize heat dissipation. Many industries during their production processes, generate heat. This excess heat can convert into energy. By investing in cogeneration plants, such as those for garment or cement factories, the important industries can utilize the produced heat to generate steam, which, through steam turbines, is then converted into energy.

DIMO Energy also actively pursuing agrivoltaics, which involves the installation of solar plants on agricultural fields. Under this approach, solar panels are integrated into agricultural fields, enabling the cultivation of specific plants that thrive when shielded from direct sunlight. This innovative technique minimizes the environmental trade-offs associated with solar energy production.

DIMO Energy’s collaboration with strategic partner Siemens, is present across many points of the power supply chain in Sri Lanka. DIMO Energy is behind the construction of a remarkable 70% of the country’s grid substations—a fact not widely known. Founded as a provider of utility-scale solutions, DIMO Energy also caters to the medium and low voltage needs of various industries in Sri Lanka. Additionally, DIMO offers state-of-the-art switchboards under its own “DIMO LUMIN” brand, along with internationally acclaimed type-tested ‘SIEPAN’ and ‘SIVACON’ switchboards, catering to more sophisticated requirements as well.

DIMO Energy pioneered the successful commissioning of the country’s first micro-grid project at the University of Moratuwa. This achievement sent a strong message to entrepreneurs seeking reliable and self-sufficient power solutions, and demonstrated that DIMO Energy stood ready to provide cutting-edge technology at their doorstep. The company’s “DI-Solar” renewable energy solution provides customers with long-lasting rooftop solar panel installations, backed by DIMO’s proven industry track record. DIMO Energy also established its operations in Uganda, Maldives for enhancing their power infrastructure while expanding beyond Sri Lanka.

Mr. Wijith Pushpawela, Executive Director and Director in Charge of Power and Energy segment of DIMO said: “The all-new DIMO Energy is a fresh brand image that further solidifies our commitment to fuelling the dreams and aspirations of the communities we serve, as we are now able to fulfil all our customers’ requirements from under one roof while powering the future as DIMO Energy’s brand promise”.

DIMO has also positioned itself as a key player in utility-scale renewable energy projects, gaining the trust of customers as a turnkey EPC contractor and developer. With this solid foundation, DIMO is well-positioned for the next stage of growth in its Renewable Energy business. The Sri Lankan government has set an ambitious target of meeting 70% of the country’s power generation needs through renewable energy sources, leading to rapid development in the sector. Given the unavailability of fossil fuel energy sources in Sri Lanka, the volatility of global fuel markets, higher thermal fuel costs, and the growing emphasis on environmental and extended producer responsibilities and sustainability, local enterprises are compelled to embrace renewable energy sources.

Amidst the remarkable progress Sri Lanka has made in its journey towards economic recovery, the country is now primed to attract investments for rapid industrial development, thanks to its geographical advantage and competitive factors of production. Such expansions will create a significant demand surge for power, with industries seeking reputable organizations that can provide total solutions for their electrical power related needs. With its wide array of solutions, DIMO Energy is well poised to lead the way to meet the growing demand for efficient and eco-friendly energy supply and delivery solutions.
