Product Portfolio
AD and biomethane plants by Agraferm
- Agraferm, as a provider of complete anaerobic
digestion (AD) plants, has comprehensive knowledge and many years of
experience in the national and the international biogas sector. Put this
know-how to good use by utilising our entire biogas value chain.
Our plants stand out for...
- ...High reliability and maximum plant availability
- ...Lots of gas in little space: Highest gas yields at low container volume (1.5 MWel from only two containers)
- ...Use of high-quality, robust components such as digester, agitator and pumps, thus increasing life span
- ...An especially stable fermentation process
- ...Industrial quality plant construction
Your benefits- Minimal operating costs
- Highest possible feedstock flexibility
- Minimal risk of failure
- Maximum economy and low energy consumption
Maximum load fermentation for best gas yields
- Biogas operators around the world have to work with a
great variety of feedstocks, and this often places high demands on the
agitation equipment.
Agraferm started working on high-load fermentation of energy crops very
early on. This maximum load (high-load fermentation/digestion) technology
developed and supplied by Agraferm offers AD plant solutions to cope with
very high viscosities without having to challenge operational reliability,
flexibility and gas yield – whereas conventional plant technologies have to
reckon with high dilution, process energies and wear.
That is why Agraferm plants are regularly rated among the top performers,
for example, in the German Federal Government's KTBL measuring programme and
BMPII biogas measuring programme.
Our paddle agitator stirs everything!
- With the development of the robust paddle mixer – which
has been successfully used in Agraferm plants for more than a decade –
Agraferm has brought the continually changing selection of input materials
under control.
While conventional AD plants with submersible motor agitators have to work
primarily with slurry, maize or sugar beet, operators of Agraferm AD plants
can choose from a wide selection of feedstocks. In an increasingly limited
and depleting feedstock market, operators of Agraferm plants can accept
feedstocks that other plants can use only in limited amounts, or cannot use
at all.
The Agraferm paddle mixer allows stirring and recycling of input materials
with a high dry content and richly structured materials such as poultry
manure, green waste, organic waste bin contents, silages etc. in high
concentrations.
From biogas comes biomethane - gas upgrading
- A cutting-edge technology that will play a major role in
the future is the processing of biogas into biomethane of natural gas
quality, otherwise known as renewable natural gas (RNG). This process makes
the development of heating concepts redundant, and thereby opens up entirely
new alternatives in the choice of Location and allows gas-to-grid. Agraferm
has already realised many Projects with gas upgrading in the biomethane
sector.
Agraferm biomethane (gas-to-grid) plants are based on membrane technology.
This successful solution employs only membranes that have proven successful
over time. Agraferm assumes responsibility for the entire process design and
construction of the plants.
Many years of experience in waste-to-energy
- The Agraferm Group has comprehensive expertise in waste
treatment, and can process and recycle virtually all input materials that
contain organic material. The subsidiary BTA International GmbH in
particular is responsible for this segment.
Since 1984, BTA has been the leading specialist for wet-mechanical
pre-treatment of all kinds of organic wastes with subsequent wet
fermentation for generating biogas and quality compost (or material similar
to compost, according to the kind of waste).
Wet-mechanical pre-treatment in the BTA process allows great flexibility in
the input materials and offers superior efficiency and selectivity in
separating out impurities. This process results in stable and reliable
fermentation operation, minimises costs for disposing of impurities,
maximises biogas yield and ensures the quality of the digestate.
Research & development in the field of biogas
- The Agraferm Group is an active driver behind
developments in the field of microbiological and technical biomass
pre-treatment and recycling.
We undertake innovative research projects with partners from science and
industry, with the results being tested in practice, discussed among experts
and published.
Metomex®
- Micro nutrient solution with essential trace elements
To produce biogas as efficiently as possible – that is the aim of every
biogas plant operator. The greatest reserves when running an biogas plant
are in the speeding up and stabilisation of the biological process as well
as the utilisation of the energy potential available to the fullest
capacity.
The deciding factor in the success of an biogas plant is a well functioning
biological process. Optimise the bioprocess of your plant to the maximum
with Metomex®.
Complex micronutrients activate the bacteria in your biogas plant to give
the highest performance!
Whether it is a large or a small plant, using mono-fermentation or with
slurry – the micronutrients from Agraserv, a quality brand for service
products from Agraferm Technologies AG provide the best nutrients for the
bacteria in your biogas plant.
Test the optimised Metomex® system for yourself – Your safe guard for a
stable bioprocess!
Service
- Safety and economy for biogas plants
We do not desert our customers when the construction of their biogas plant
has been completed. We offer you a comprehensive range of technical and
biological follow-up services. Ranging from the supply of spare parts to the
complete running of your plant. As our customer, you can choose which
services you need according to your requirements.
The Agraferm service strategy covers the complete spectrum of services for
biogas plants.
Agraferm specialists and a hand picked service network, form a team, which
numerous customers have relied upon for many years. Whether you are a
newcomer to the world of biogas or an expert our training courses, given by
our experienced staff, will provide you with all the information you need to
operate successfully in this field. Service Offer
- The Agraferm Group has many years of international
experience in the field of biogas generation and the entire energy value
chain.
The range of services extends from the forward-looking design of anaerobic
Digestion (AD), biomethane and waste recycling & treatment plants, to
construction and commissioning, to continuous maintenance and expansion. Planning and design of AD plants
- Choice of site and plant design
The choice and realistic assessment of suitable sites is a crucial factor in
the successful design of AD plants. Agraferm works out the optimal design
and construction of your plant together with you. Given our many years of
experience, we can already include aspects of later plant management and
thus lower your future operating costs thanks to clever plant planning.
Construction and commissioning of AD plants
- Agraferm has many years of experience in international
plant construction and has developed a reliable project management division
for the realisation. The implementation teams comprise a healthy mixture of
motivated 'juniors' and 'seniors'.
Operation, maintenance and expansion of AD plants
- After construction, we won't leave you in the lurch. We
will accompany you during the efficient operation and continual maintenance
of your AD plants.
What are the advantages of an Agraferm AD plant?
- Discerning customers and operators opt for Agraferm
anaerobic digestion plants for various reasons:
- Low operating costs
- Greatest possible flexibility of input materials / feedstocks
- Minimal risk of failure
- Maximum economy and low energy consumption
- Small plant footprint (space requirements)
Key factors in the decision are often the stability of the digestion
process, proven reliability of the plants and superior gas yields.
