It provides regular revenues as it can be generated 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, while at the same time supports decarburization by the valorization of organic residues. How we produce biogas. BIOGAS is produced in a digester using the 4- phase process of biochemical, anaerobic digestion: (1) hydrolysis, (2) acidogenesis, (3) acetogenesis and (4) methanogenesis. Carbohydrates, fats and proteins are transformed into methane (50-70%) and carbon dioxide (30-50%). Fermentation is complete when the substrate has passed through all the stages. Each of these stages feature a specific physiological microbial population. The key process parameters are temperature and the time spent by the substrate in the fermenter (hydraulic retention time). Most agricultural biogas plants operate at a mesophilic temperature (35-42°C – 95 to 108F). The residence time depends on the feedstock type and varies between 20 and 70 days. Anaerobic digestion can be used to transform almost all types of organic matter into biogas. The only exceptions are plant materials, with a high lignin or cellulose content (e.g. wood). Organic waste (sewage sludge, manure, municipal, and industrial waste), agricultural by-products, and energy crops are used as raw materials in biogas plants. The various plants have different energy contents and yields per hectare. The wide range of potential input materials reduces the need for the monocultures demanded by other biomass technologies (biodiesel and bioethanol). The advantages of biogas. Biogas can be used in a myriad of ways! Co-generation unit produces electricity or heat Constant biogas production and storage Covering both basic power demand as well as peak loads Decentralized heat and power generation Electricity can be fed into the grid in a decentralized and controlled manner, even under unfavorable network conditions More information Biomethane (RNG) Our technologies BIOQUADRAT Energie- und Wassertechnik Holding GmbH Address THE ICON VIENNA Central Station Gertrude-Froehlich-Sandner-Straße 2-4 Tower 9, Floor 9 A-1100 Vienna Austria Contact T +43 1 2260700 M office biogest.at Service Hotline: 24/7 T +800 008 008 08 M service biogest.at Worldwide Offices © by BIOGEST 2021 Imprint Privacy Policy Cookies We use cookies to improve the experience of our site and gather information about the usage behavior of visitors.
