components and technologies such as biogas generators, gas
storage tanks and gas purification systems.
Training and
education: SOLARVIS offers training and education for
customers to optimise the use of the system and reduce
operating costs.
Advice on regulatory
requirements: SOLARVIS offers consulting services on
regulatory requirements and regulations to ensure that the
installation meets all applicable environmental and safety
standards.
SPECIAL FEATURE: MULTISTAGE PLANTS
Highly efficient and also suitable for the fermentation of fibrous materials.
A multi-stage biogas plant with hydrolysis stage consists of several tanks in which organic materials are fermented under anaerobic conditions to produce biogas. The hydrolysis stage is the first stage of the process, in which the feedstock is broken down by enzymes into smaller molecules such as sugars, fatty acids and amino acids.
The first stage is the pre-pit, where the feedstock material such as slurry, manure, biowaste or energy crops is stored. In this stage, the material is crushed and homogenised to enable better mixing and more effective fermentation.
The next stage is the hydrolysis stage, in which the homogenised material is hydrolysed in one or more tanks. In this stage, enzymes are added that break down the organic materials into smaller molecules that are more readily available for fermentation by bacteria. This stage increases the effectiveness of biogas production and speeds up the fermentation process.
The third stage is the fermentation stage, in which the hydrolysed material is fermented in one or more fermenters under anaerobic conditions. In this process, the material is broken down by anaerobic bacteria and converted into biogas. This stage can also be divided into several stages to increase the effectiveness of biogas production.
The final stage is biogas upgrading, where the biogas produced is cleaned and upgraded to prepare it for use as a fuel or for other purposes such as electricity generation or feeding into the gas grid.
A multi-stage biogas plant can be equipped with various additional components, such as grease separators, drying or separation systems, heat exchangers and fermentation residue storage systems, depending on requirements and the materials used, in order to optimise the process and achieve higher efficiency.
HOW TO START?
Approval planning for a biogas plant is an important step in the construction of such a plant. Here are some of the important steps that need to be considered in the approval planning for a biogas plant:
Site Assessment:
First of all, it must be checked whether the planned site is suitable for a biogas plant. Criteria such as the availability of raw materials, the distance to residential areas or nature reserves, soil characteristics and geological conditions must be taken into account.
Approval procedure:
Depending on the size and type of biogas plant, various permits and approvals are required from authorities and other agencies. These include the building permit, the environmental permit, the water law permit and possibly other consents from local and state authorities.
Preparation of plans:
As part of the approval process, various plans must be prepared, including a drainage plan, a construction and operation plan, a fire protection plan and an environmental plan.
Waste management plan:
A waste management plan must also be drawn up describing how the waste generated during the operation of the biogas plant will be disposed of.
Safety concept:
A safety concept describing the possible hazards and risks that may emanate from the biogas plant must be drawn up.
Observance of local regulations:
Any local regulations and restrictions that may apply to the operation of the biogas plant must also be taken into account.
It is important that the approval planning for a biogas plant is carried out carefully to ensure that all requirements are met and that the biogas plant can be operated safely and effectively.
