Biogas Plant

TinySlideshow v1

Biogas is formed in a multi-step process through the activity of anaerobic microorganisms.

Corn Silage

The plant is designed so that agricultural products and fermentables can be recycled for the purpose of energy generation.

Food Waste

Food waste, bio-waste and meat remnants can be recycled.

Manure

All of the added materials...including manure are processed together in the bio-gas plant.

Loading Substrates

Dry substrates are stored in the driving silo and then fed as required to the main fermenter via the dry loading unit.

Processing Pit

Liquid substrates are stored in the pre-processing pit and fed into the main fermenter via a pump station.

Pump Station

The pump station pumps the liquid substrates to the main fermenter.

Main Fermenter

Substrates are fermented in an air-tight anaerobe environment of between 35°C and 55°C. Carbohydrates, fats and proteins are decomposed and converted into methane.

Stirring Unit

A stirring unit grinds and mixes the substrates into a homogenous mass using the least amount of energy.

Over Flows to Post Fermenter

Fresh manure is added to the fermented substance and forces it into the post-fermenter through the overflow pipe. Here the remaining gas forming potential in the fermented substrate is extracted, making full use of the energy.

Stirring Unit Also in Post Fermenter

The post-fermenter also has a stirring unit to help in the mixing and breaking down process.

Double Membrane Container

The biogas is captured and temporarily stored in a double membrane container consisting of two high-strength, gas impermiable, reinforced fabric membranes.

Thermal Power Station

The gas is expelled into a block-type thermal power station and utilized to generate thermal and electrical energy.

Storage

The remaining fermentation by-products are expelled and are stored until the final disposal.

Fertilizer Substrate

The end substrate becomes a cost-effective method of soil recovery and regeneration of ground water. All contaminants are discharged in the fermenting process.

Fermentation Residue

All contaminants are discharged in the fermenting process with the high-quality nitrogen fertilizer remaining as the end product to be used on agricultural land.

Hose Sprayer

To avoid the loss of ammonium from the fermentation by-product, low emission application technology is required via a dragging hose sprayer while fertilizing.

Natural Gas

The biogas can be utilized to generate natural gas.

Power Grid

The biogas can be utilized to create electrical energy and placed into the power grid.

Heating Possibilities

The biogas can be utilized to generate thermal energy. The by-product can be pressed into cubes or pellets to be burned for heat.

Optimal Usage

The water that is extracted during a production process is fed back into the fermentation process, thus guaranteeing optimal use of resources.
