Dry fermentation: from biowaste to biogas

Product catalog summary
Introduction to Biogas and BIOFerm:
BIOFerm, a part of the Viessmann Group since 2007, specializes in converting biowaste into biogas using dry fermentation technology. This environmentally friendly and CO2-neutral process offers a complete solution from consultation to commissioning.

Biogas as a Clean Energy Source:
Biogas is a versatile and storable fuel that reduces reliance on fossil fuels and energy imports, supporting approximately 3.5 million households in Germany and creating local jobs.

Technology and Process:
The BIOFerm system employs dry fermentation, requiring minimal pre-treatment of organic solid waste. The modular system includes stages like mixing, digestion, gas storage, and conversion into heat and power, allowing scalability based on biomass availability.

Economic and Environmental Benefits:
Biogas plants convert biowaste into energy, which can be fed into the grid and used for heating, while fermentation residue serves as a high-quality fertilizer. The system ensures high gas yields and profitability with low operational effort.

Service and Support:
BIOFerm offers extensive technical and biological services through Schmack Biogas Service GmbH, including preventative maintenance, spare parts logistics, and laboratory analysis to maintain stable fermentation processes.

Viessmann Product Range:
Viessmann provides a wide range of heating solutions, including boilers, solar thermal systems, heat pumps, and biogas production systems, designed for various applications to ensure energy efficiency and sustainability.

Conclusion:
BIOFerm and Viessmann offer innovative solutions for sustainable energy production, contributing to reduced CO2 emissions and energy independence.
Company Overview:
Viessmann is a leading international manufacturer of heating systems, offering efficient and tailored solutions for various applications and fuel types. As a third-generation family-run business, Viessmann has been committed to clean and efficient heating systems for decades.
