Concept and Features<br />
The biogas plant in <strong>Halberstadt</strong> is owned by <strong>Halberstadt</strong>werke GmbH and was built on the site of the power plant in the<br />
middle of the city area. It has an excellent heat–use concept because of its location. The entire excess heat from the 600 kW<br />
biogas combined heat and power (CHP) plant is fed into the local district heating network.<br />
The corn silage is supplied by farmers from the surrounding area. Long-standing contracts have been completed for growing<br />
and harvesting the biomass. These contracts also allow the sourcing farmers to receive the remaining digestate of the plant<br />
and use it as a valuable fertilizer for the nutrient supply of their agricultural land. Consequently, this project guarantees a<br />
completely closed and optimally used economic cycle for many years. <strong>UTS</strong> designed and built the turnkey project to time by<br />
the end of 2011. With a challenging construction period of only six months - starting with breaking ground in early summer<br />
2011, followed by the construction of silo clamps, tanks and finally the installation of the fermenter and loading systems and<br />
pipeline construction in the late autumn of 2011 - the project was successfully taken into operation in compliance with the<br />
German EEG 2009 (EEG = renewable energy law).<br />
This mono-digestion system with a single fermenter and digestate storage tank uses a covered solids dosing station with<br />
liquid feeding. The 8 meter high digester in combination with liquid feeding is the optimal solution for a one-stage fermentation.<br />
By installing <strong>UTS</strong> Service-Boxes, the effective operation and uncomplicated service of the well proven hydraulic mixers<br />
is guaranteed. The energy requirements and the long-term operating and maintenance costs can be reduced significantly<br />
with this technology.<br />
