Product catalog summary
Heat Use for Biogas Plants
Fermentation Substrate Drying: The process involves reducing the quantity of fermentation substrate by evaporating liquid, achieving a reduction of 0.7-1 kg/kWh. This results in savings of up to 50% in storage capacity and transport logistics, and recognition in fermenter volume capacity.
Automatic and Low Maintenance Operation: The plant operates automatically with minimal maintenance and energy expenditure. It is integrated into the process with automatic filling and emptying, allowing for continuous operation and year-round utilization.
Economic Fertilizer Production: By increasing the dry matter content up to 50%, the slurry's dry matter content rises to 12%, enhancing nutrient concentration per m3. The exhaust air scrubber binds ammonia with sulfuric acid, forming a solid ammonium sulfate bond (ASL), which, when mixed with manure, creates a high-quality fertilizer.
Dust-Free Operation: The plant reduces the fermentation substrate to a maximum of 12% dry matter, operating with exhaust air purification according to Air Quality Control (TA-air), eliminating odorous emissions.
Utilization of Waste Heat: The plant is capable of using all available waste heat, qualifying for CHP bonuses. The power varies with available heat, affecting only the operation time. For example, at 600 kWh, approximately 600 liters/h of liquid is evaporated, equating to about 4800 m³ annually that need not be stored or transported.
Functionality: The plant increases the solid content in the fermentation substrate by evaporating liquid. Rotating drums with heated contact plates immerse in the substrate, and the moistened metal sheets are exposed to airflow, carrying away the evaporated liquid. This process results in high-quality manure with doubled nutrient content, reducing logistics efforts and costs.
CHP Bonus Requirements: To qualify for the CHP bonus, the plant must demonstrate weight reduction for improved transport and storage, connect to a heating network of at least 400 m, and be energy-efficient, requiring no more than 1,500 kWh (therm) to evaporate 1,000 l of water. Nitrogen loss should be under 30%, with deductions for nitrogen in exhaust products. Installations must be reported to authorities, and compliance with Air Quality (TA-air) must be ensured through exhaust air purification. Coordination with environmental experts is necessary.

Heat use for biogas plants-1

RST fermentation substrate drying for biogas plants Quantity reduction of the fermentation substrate by evaporating of liquid (0,71 kg/kWh) - Savings of storage capacity and transport logistics up to 50 % - Recognition in the Fermenter volume capacity Automatic plant operation with low maintenance and energy expenditure - Plant is integrated into the process; with automatic filling and emptying - Continuous plant operation with year-round-utilization possible Economic fertilizer production by increasing the dry matter content up to 50 % Due to the evaporation of liquid the dry matter content of the slurry increases up to 12 %. The nutrients per m3 increase accordingly. - The exhaust air scrubber binds the ammonia with sulfuric acid. This results in a solid ammonium sulfate bond (ASL) (= liquid fertilizer). In the mixture with ASL the manure becomes a high-quality fertilizer. ^ Dust-free plant operation - The fermentation substrate is reduced to a maximum of 12 % dry matter. Plant operation only with exhaust air purification according to Air Quality Control (TA-air), as a result no odorous emission. - ^The power varies with the available heat. Only time is influenced by this. - Example: At 600 kWh x 1 l /kW = approx. 600 liters/h evaporated liquid - At an 8000 h annual operation this corresponds to approx. 4800 m3 of liquid that doesn't need not be stored and transported.

Heat use for biogas plants-2

Function: It is a plant for increasing the solid content in the fermentation substrate by evaporation of liquid. Rotating drums immerse continuously heated contact plates in the substrate. The moistened metal sheets are guided into the air flow. The heated air flows through the sheets and takes away the evaporated liquid. This results in high-quality manure as the nutrient content is doubled by the reduction of the amount. In addition, the volume reduction saves logistics efforts and costs when bringing out the manure. In order to grant the CHP bonus, the following points have to be proven: Preparation...
