Reliable, flexible and economic<br />
■ high process stability<br />
- process collapse avoided by decoupling of acidification and methane formation<br />
- separate control of both process steps<br />
■ controllability of the biogas production<br />
- adaption to load profiles possible<br />
- no flare losses due to interruption of biogas demand during service and<br />
maintenance events<br />
■ flexible adaptation of different feedstocks<br />
- both agricultural substrate (energy plants, solid dung) as well as loppings,<br />
cut grass, and biological waste can be applied<br />
■ compact installation size<br />
- plants can be erected in the immediate vicinity of heat consumers<br />
■ low energy consumption (due to a lack of a requirement for mixing<br />
equipment, among other factors)<br />
■ higher methane content<br />
- methane content 15-20 % higher than conventional plants<br />
- significant cost and energy savings for further upgrading to biomethane<br />
■ high reliability and safe operating mode<br />
- maintenance possible during uninterrupted production by parallel operation<br />
of percolators<br />
- small number of components subject to wear<br />
■ low hydrogen sulphide content in the raw biogas<br />
■ simple handling of the digestate<br />
- agricultural utilization of non-degradable plant material without mechanical<br />
dewatering is advantageous for humus formation and fertilization value due to<br />
rich texture and output as a solid<br />
