3 simple steps for 10% more yield:
1. Performance check
2. Determine trace elements
3. Raise the temperatures in the biogas plant

1) Temperature is one of many factors or maybe even the one decisive factor in biogas-biology
2) 20 % Feedstock reduction with higher temperatures. This makes up to 50.000 – 70.000 € per year
3) Thermophile is as simple as mesophile

Benefit 1: Up to 50 % less nutrients at the same biogas quantitiy makes it easier to match with the fertiliser ordinance.
Benefit 2: No new final storage necessary because straw contains only little water. Separation even pulls water out of the system.
Benefit 3: Straw has a calculable price because no animal wants to have it will.

The problem: floating layers form when the biology isn’t working optimally
Biology: this is the most important aspect of a biogas plant. Unfortunately, most operators are more technology-oriented.
The solution: high-load digestion with >50 kg oDM/m³d and optimal biological conditions (temperatures, trace elements, etc.) for the bacteria

Walter’s dream agitator for the batch hydrolysis
It agitates everything, floating layers at 20% – and even if it should ever stop, it starts up again. Because with a service factor of 2.7, even floating layers with 20% dry matter can be stirred up.
