  • Conservation and Ensiling

  • High-quality silages and substrates form the basis for successful biogas production. Learn more about our biological silage additives for energy crops and our preserving acids for freshly harvested feedstocks.

    Sometimes people forget that it is often the little things that make the biggest difference. We experience this time and again in our current research work. With meticulousness and passion, we create fascinating products that meet the complex requirements of state-of-the-art ensiling additives. Our ability to draw on an in-house experience base of over 20 years of microbial research enables us to develop a strong, authentic product from a collective brainstorming idea. Our way of thinking and developing products is unique in the market.

    Silage additives from the SILASIL ENERGY product group are specialised, biological silage additives for the preparation and preservative storage of renewable forage materials for biogas production. The fermentation process is optimised and the stability of the silage is improved. For example, the exclusive bacterial strain Lactobacillus diolivorans in SILASIL ENERGY.XD shortens the silage ripening time to two weeks and prevents aerobic spoilage processes and reheating. The energy-rich, aerobically stable silages ensure more efficient biogas production and higher methane yields per hectare of farmland.

    • Trace elements

    • An optimally adjusted dosage of trace elements stabilises and optimises the methane formation process by both promoting the growth of the microorganisms involved in the degradation process and enabling the formation of the necessary enzymes and co-enzymes.

      The demand of biogas-forming microorganisms for essential trace and bulk elements is well known by now. The substrate mix of a plant determines the supply of elements and its hydraulic load the concrete demand. While in the past it was assumed that farm manure (slurry, manure, etc.) and most wastewater provided sufficient trace elements, science and experience shows very specific elements are required in biogas production which are not used in animal feed or food production. As a result, even biogas plants with a larger proportion of appropriate residual substrates are forced to supplement the trace element supply to their digesters in order to obtain the full gas yield from their substrates and/or to achieve full plant utilization.

      As a result of the different feeding regimes, the trace element supply of biogas plants differs significantly. The dosage of additives must therefore be adapted to the ration, as is common in animal feeding; one reason for this being the avoidance of oversupply potentially resulting in inhibition. Another reason is the prevention of performance losses due to the deficiency of individual elements. At the same time, it must be the goal of biogas industry and agriculture in general to protect arable land and to safely comply with local ordinance limit values. This can only be achieved through bespoke trace element dosing based on regular digester analysis. This is where the Schaumann BioEnergy concept comes in.

                  • Enzymes & flow improvers

                  • Schaumann BioEnergy offers enzyme building blocks specially optimised for the biogas process. Enzymes reduce viscosity and improve substrate utilisation. They accelerate the decomposition of organic matter or make it possible in the first place.

                    Even high-fibre substrates such as grass, whole-crop silages, manure, sorghum or sunflowers are readily available by bacteria in the biogas plant. Problems only arise with increasing hydraulic load and decreasing retention time; the reason being that cellulose and hemicellulose, unlike many other high-molecular sugar chains, are degraded only slowly. However, particularly at short retention times, rapid degradation is of the essence, otherwise undigested substrate - i.e. your return on investment - vanishes from heated digester volume into digestate storage.

                    Insufficient degradation can cause floating and sinking layers in the digester, increase viscosity, increase wear on the pumps and agitators, and make mixing more difficult. Poor mixing leads to gradient formation such as differences in temperature, substrate concentration or organic fermentation acids which can no longer be compensated. Homeostasis in the digester is disrupted and bacterial metabolism slows down.
