Optimization of the gas yield and reduced internal energy consumption
Why you need to use mechanical disintegration
The DisRuptor effectively combats problems frequently caused by switching biogas plants to low-cost, but structured biomass. In the long term, the biomass used for cost reduction reduces the gas yield, increases the internal energy consumption or formation of floating layers. The yields from the biogas plant and its overall efficiency decrease.
Mechanical disintegration of structured biomass breaks down and damages the protective and difficult to degrade components, e.g. lignin structures. At the same time, it increases the surface and thus the target for the bacteria. Treatment with DisRuptor allows agricultural by-products and substrates to be fermented that would otherwise be unprofitable to use, or would result in very limited profits. For example, this includes dung, woody grass, maintenance cuts from pastureland or landscaping material.
The viscosity of the organic suspension is reduced, the power consumption and runtimes of the mixers decrease and the specific gas yield increases, as the biomass is used and converted better thanks to the mechanical disintegration.
All in all, this increases revenue, decreases costs and significantly improves the efficiency of the biogas plant in the end. The DisRuptor is easy to integrate or retrofit to existing biogasplants, and can be used in many areas, e.g. in front downstream of the liquid feeding system or as part of the digester recirculation system.
