Cow, Chicken, Pig Manure, Agricultural Wastes

Harnessing Renewable Energy from Manure and Agriculture

Agricultural wastes include agricultural straws, livestock and poultry manure, leftover vegetable waste and dead animals.


The agricultural waste to biogas technology launched by BIOWATT-BIOGAS can truly realize the resource and harmless disposal of such wastes, transforming waste into biogas and bio-organic fertilizer through the high-efficient degradation by the proprietary bacterium, which truly realizes the ecological recycle.

FAQ

Our answers to your questions

  • Why are biogas plants an economically viable solution for farms?

    • Biogas plants offer a long-term perspective, real value creation and sustainable management, because the residues generated in agriculture such as slurry and manure can be converted into valuable energy in the form of gas, heat and electricity with biogas plants.

    • Due to the high nutrient content, the fermentation residues produced during fermentation are ideal as organic fertilizer.

    • Self-consumption of electricity from the biogas plant has become increasingly attractive in recent years also for biogas plant operators, who can still claim a comparatively high buy-back price.

    • Counting post-digesters as storage space: Taking into account the input materials, residence times and the respective degradation efficiencies of the substrates used, post-digesters can assume up to 70 percent of the total volume as storage space.

  • Can biogas be fed into the natural gas grid?

      In order to feed biogas into the gas distribution system, it must be upgraded beforehand. Since biogas is compatible with fossil natural gas, it can be used by means of existing pipelines and storage facilities regardless of where and when it is produced.

  • What are the benefits of biogas?

      Biogas/biomethane is renewable:
      Biogas/biomethane has one of the best life cycle balances. It saves several million tonnes of CO2 every year: in the heat market, in electricity generation and when used as fuel.

      Biogas can be stored:
      Biogas is almost the only renewable energy source that can be stored. The natural gas grid is available for this as well as the existing natural gas storage facilities. Generation and use can be decoupled in time and space – this offers significant economic benefits.

      Biogas is flexible and efficient:
      With biogas, electricity can be flexibly generated in CHP plants. Bio natural gas can be used 100 percent in the heating market or as an admixture in a flexible proportion. Processed biogas can also be used as fuel. Biogas is also available as balancing energy.

      The infrastructure is available:
      Processed biogas can also be transported over long distances via the well-developed natural gas grid. There are no economic costs for transport or storage.

      Biogas enables value creation:
      Biogas creates added value in rural areas. The production of biogas or biomethane has created jobs – not only in agriculture, but also in plant construction, in suppliers and service companies, in trade and distribution, and in the operation of CHP plants. Production of biogas and biomethane brings further valuable contributions to rural regions. Thus, value creation takes place almost exclusively in rural areas in the immediate vicinity of the plant. The raw materials produced – sugar beet, maize plants, waste and residues from agriculture – are often transported to the biogas plant over only a few kilometres. The residual digestate that remains after the fermentation of these raw materials is fed back into the agricultural production cycle as fertilizer.

  • Why choose anaerobic digestion to treat POME wastewater?

      Anaerobic digestion can efficiently degrade organic pollutants in wastewater, and the biogas generated during the process can be used as a renewable energy source (such as power generation, heating, etc.). In addition, anaerobic digestion can also reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve environmental protection goals.
