 Working
Principle of
Biomass
How does a Biogas plant work?
1. Organic input materials such as food stuff remnants, fats or sludge can be fed into the biogas plant as
substrate.
2. Renewable resources such as corn, beets or grass serve as feed both for animals such as cows and pigs
as well as the micro organism in the biogas plant.
3. Manure and dung are also fed in the biogas plant.
4. In the fermented, heated to approximately 38-40°C, the substrate is decomposed by the
microorganisms under exclusion of light and oxygen.
5. Once the substrate has been fermented, it is transported to fermentation residue end storage
tank that can be retrieve from there for further utilization.
6. The residue can be utilised as high quality fertilizer.
7.But drying it subsequently using it as dry fertiliser is also an option.
8. The biogas generated is stored in roof of the tank
9. Biogas is burned in the combined heat and power plant (CHP) to generate electricity and heat.
10. The electric power is fed directly into the power grid.
11. The heat generated can be utilized to heat building or dry wood or harvest
products.
12. Processing of biogas.
13. Gas supply the national grid or gas filling stations.
