BIOGAS TECHNOLOGY: WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
Specialists - from start to finish.Innovation, Conviction... and Courage!
It’s thanks to the holistic and visionary thinking of agriKomp’s founders, Robert Bugar and Michael Engelhardt, that the company now stands out as an international leader in Biomass technology. Our love of innovation stretches back to the first mobile biogas plant, known as the Gullewerk, and includes examples of brilliant engineering such as the Paddelgigant agitator. We’re known for our ground-breaking systems, efficient technology and on-going levels of service.
Constant Continuity
All our essential components are designed and manufactured in-house, guaranteeing absolute reliability and consistent quality. Key components, such as the flexible gas store (Biolene®), the paddle agitator (Paddelgigant®) and the robust feeding technology (Vielfraß®) have set international standards with respect to stability, reliability and energy efficiency.
Reliability
It only takes a relatively short time to build a biogas plant but our relationship with you will last for decades. Great service is what you should expect from us, and that’s what we give, plus stable technology, reliability and the promise of continuous development, all aimed at ensuring your long-term profitability.
"If you wish to stay ahead you must be innovative, have reliable and efficient products in your portfolio and also provide a secure service. This requires dedicated people and solid engineering“, says Robert Bugar.

Special Solutions
SUPPLYING A LOGICAL (AND PROFITABLE) SOLUTION TO A COMPLEX PROBLEM
-
What's the Problem?
It’s this: At the moment there’s no solution that will allow the further treatment and use of potentially valuable manure in a way that’s both economically and ecologically feasible. Conventional methods often suffer from disadvantages such as odour environmental pollution , high energy consumption and low efficiency of the process .Until Now!
The newly developed agriKomp process is designed fundamentally different ; the main focus is on the following points:- An increase in the dry matter content (TS) as a result of fermentation in the biogas plants
- Capture of the ammonia produced in the fermentation product by means of a membrane in the nanometer range to minimize emissions.
The agriKomp process treats the digestates of a biogas plant to such a degree that a usable, highly concentrated fertiliser is produced. This is achieved by extracting the maximum water content possible from the digestate using waste heat from the CHPS. This waste heat is not completely utilised by many other biogas plants at present. The digestates produced by our process can be concentrated and hermetically sealed with no dust or smell able to escape.
The advantages of this procedure are
The concentrated digestate has a considerably smaller volume, resulting in:- Lestment in digestate storage
- Fewer trips to spread digestive on your fields
- Lower fuel consumption
- Lower transport costs
- Less traffic
- Happier local residents now facing less traffic and no unwanted odour! This is an important argument in favour of Biogas tecower invhnology
By converting the volatile ammonia contained in the digestate into the stable ammonium sulphate, ammonia emission is almost entirely prevented.
- Ability to fertilise using high-quality (depot) mineral fertiliser in the form of ammonium sulphate solution
- No loss of nitrogen: volatile ammonia nitrogen is converted into stable ammonium sulphate
- No odour nuisance for residents
- No need to purchase additional nitrogen fertiliser
- Increase efficiency using the CHPS waste heat
Increased utilisation of the waste heat from co-generation.
Components

TRIED AND TESTED COMPONENTS
Constant Innovation
We're specialists!
Our experience is that the processing of manure, grass, agricultural residues and silage demands specialist engineering. We use our experience to develop components that meet and surpass these demands and we then match these together to create our unique biogas systems:
Solid, robust, efficient and reliable - they guarantee high disposability. Plant Technology
-
TRIED, TESTED AND
continuously innovative!
We develop and manufacture all essential components ourselves. They’re all manufactured to the same high quality and conform to the relevant international CE and safety standards. Because we’re always looking to the future, developing and innovating as we go, you and your plant will always be on the cutting edge!
Agitators
-
PADDELGIGANT®
– the powerful agitator!
agriKomp’s agitator technology was developed by us especially for substances with a high fibre content such as solid manure, grass and silage. The four tilted paddles result in different directions of flow through which the coarse fibred material is mixed to be of the correct consistency for the digester. This is important to result in the optimum gas yield and for the avoidance of sink-and-float layering.
Feeding Systems
-
A RELIABLE FEED
Having a reliable and constant feed of digestate is crucial for the economical and efficient operation of a biogas plant. The supply of suitable solid material can increase the gas yield and reduce the amount of energy needed to power operations such as stirring, agitating or pumping.
It may sound simple, but failure-free digester feeding presents a considerable challenge to technology. Raw materials, for instance, contain stones and sand that can increase wear and malfunctions. As the variety of raw material grows every year it becomes increasingly important to choose a feeding technology capable of processing material that is difficult to convey.
Separation Technology
-
QUETSCHPROFI®
– the modern separation technology!
When separating digestate residues with a high proportion of solid manure and grass, conventional separation technology reaches its limits. We have therefore developed an economical and robust separator specifically for digestion residues and slurry. Fine sieve-drums and a continuously controlled pneumatic cylinder that can react flexibly to fluctuating dry matter content provides high separation levels and reliable, continuous separation.
Gas Storage
-
BIOLENE®
– flexible gas storage!
Flexible and efficient biogas plant operation is closely connected with the storage of the biogas. Our Biolene® biogas storage membrane is a gas storage and vessel cover in one unit. It offers a highly efficient and economical solution for small agricultural and industrial biogas plants.
Control Components
-
FLEXIBILITY = PROFITABILITY
It’s a known fact! Flexible biogas plants achieve significantly higher profits!
agriKomp has a great deal of experience in the flexible biogas production sector and can offer the widest choice of purpose designed products and services. We’re experts in the energy production and feed-in sector, able to give you all the advice and expertise you’ll need to connect your biogas plant to generation equipment and to market the electricity produced.
Substrate Pretreatment
-
COOKER
– efficient substrate digestion!
High fibre content in grass and manure is hard for bacteria to digest. The answer we recommend is to install a thermal substrate processor and additional biogas additives for substrates that are difficult to digest. With this additional process the substrate is heated in our “Cooker” on its way from the digester to the post-digester. The raw fibre content that has been mechanically separated in this way is more acceptable to bacteria. The result, dependent on the material composition, is a 5% higher gas yield.
Vessel Construction
-
OCTAFORM®
– the modular container system!
agriKomp concentrates on meeting the individual needs of its customers, developing solutions that precisely fit. This includes a modular digester system built using high quality PVC modules that simply slot together to form a complete plant.
OCTAFORM® is quite unlike any conventional construction in that, in contrast to pouring concrete, the formwork is preserved as cladding, reducing construction time, the proven and tested PVC modules forming a firm and stable structure, perfect for the job at hand.
CHPs
CHP units
- It is obviously vital for the profitability of the plant that it is able to convert biogas to electricity efficiently. We only work with well-known manufacturers who offer robust, durable and reliable pilot injection and gas motor generators proven to pay dividends for our customers.

AGRIKOMP LABORATORY:
- more bite through Enzymaxx!
Increase fermentation with Enzymaxx
The fermentation of highly fibrous material challenges both technology and biology, with methane bacteria sometimes working against each other as they ferment solid manure or grass. Any digestate with a high dry matter content will need more time to ferment, and it will be necessary to stir continually to remove obstacles and avoid the formation of crusts.
