Biogas plants/biofilter

All micro-biological processes require specific process condi­tions to run optimally. These process parameters must be regularly monitored. MicroPro GmbH offers the following micro biolo­gical inves­ti­ga­tions for this purpose, conducted in the company’s own labora­tories by experi­enced specialist staff:

Fermentation tests (in accordance with DIN* 38414 or VDI** 4630)

  • Fermen­tation tests are carried out with the micro­or­ga­nisms of the system to be monitored or on request with fermen­tation bacteria of MicroPro GmbH in accordance with the specified process parameters. 
  • The standard approach covers a double sample as well as positive and negative controls. In addition to this a gas chroma­to­graphic analysis of the biogas compo­sition is possible.
  • Deter­mining the biogas formation potential and the time taken for decomposition 
  • Recom­men­da­tions on optimi­sation for the compo­sition of the fermen­tation substrate (C/N‑ratio) with respect to maximum gas formation rates 
  • Inves­ti­gation in batch or in conti­nuous fermentation 
  • Breeding and accumu­lation of anaerobic bacteria cultures

Optimisation of process parameters for maximising biogas production

  • Adapt­ation of the C/N- ratio 
  • Testing the influence of tempe­rature and pH value 
  • Optimi­sation of raw material compo­sition and loading frequency 

Examination on biofilters

  • Exami­nation of filter material and evaluation of microbial consortium 
  • Accumu­lation, culti­vation and delivery of suitable, adapted micro-organisms 
  • Inves­ti­gation on possible impro­vement of operating condi­tions (moisture, supply of nutrients, pH)
  • Analysis of input and output flows
