Retrofitting of a one-megawatt biogas plant or for newly constructed plants

A German company, active in the machine tools sector, has developed a container with digestion technology for a biogas plant. The advantage of the technology is the increasing in biogas productivity and the possibility to insert diverse materials into the biogas plant via bio extrusion. The company seeks industrial partners from the agricultural sector for further development of the technology under a technical cooperation agreement or for a commercial agreement with technical assistance.

Partnership(s) sought
  • Commercial agreement with technical assistance Technical cooperation agreement
DescripciĆ³n completa

The German company, active in the machine tool sector, has long-term experience in environmental engineering. Under the slogan "Together we can expand your existing biogas plant or design a new one", the company is open for international cooperation.
The modular designed container for the retrofitting of a one-megawatt biogas plant is a further development of the company. It can also be provided for newly constructed plants. The advantage of this technology is the increase in biogas productivity and the possibility of inserting diverse materials into the biogas plant via bio extrusion. Bio extrude of variable size can be embedded in the isolated container. A conveyor belt with detector does the feeding of the extruder. All metals are inductively discharged over a bypass. It is possible to integrate a tapper unit. In the process, the material is conveyed over a drop shaft into the extruder. The defiltrated material is ejected on the front site of the container via a stainless steel tube. From here, it falls selectively onto conveyor belt, worm gear or pump which leads the material into the fermenter. A crane is located inside of the container, for the purpose of maintenance work. All plant components are driven by the centralised control system.

The company is looking for partners from agriculture industry for acquisition of the technology under a commercial agreement with technical assistance and/or for user of biogas plants and recycler of organic waste with capacities to help continue the technological development under a technical cooperation agreement.

Socio buscado:

- Specific area of activity of the partner: The company is looking for partners from industry.
Specific area of activity could be agriculture, user of biogas plants and recycler of organic waste.
The partner's role should be testing the new equipment with technology or improving of an existing biogas plant and/or further development.

Advantages & innovations:

Agronomic advantages:

- Increment through the usage of hybrid ray instead of maize silage (both extruded)
- Monoculture of maize as bioenergy crop is replaced by a liberal crop rotation
- Logistical efforts: high dry mass content, fewer water transports
and thereby less volume to be transported, less humidity inside the plant and accordingly to be sprayed on the fields
- Reduction of silo space and digestion tanks
- Fields are quicker available
- The land value improves due to a liberal crop rotation
