Which main components are required for operating a biogas plant?
The following modules are generally used: • Pre-pit: Here, the liquid feedstock (liquid manure, surface water and seepage) is collected and then fed into the fermentation tanks. • Solids feed: The solids feed is used to supply solid feedstock to the fermentation tank. Select the input volume of the solids feed so that a sufficient amount of feedstock for a single day’s ration may be input. • Reactors: Biogas generation occurs under anaerobic conditions in the sealed reactor. Here organic materials will be disintegrated and converted into biogas by various kinds of bacteria. Stirring systems are used to homogenize the feedstock and mix it with the already active fermentation substrate in the reactor. In order for the anaerobic bacteria to work optimally, heating the reactor is required. • Post-fermentation store: The previously fermented substrate will be stored in the sealed post-fermentation store prior to its distribution on the fields. In case of high reactor loads and short dwell t
