Green Energy for a Greener Tomorrow

Biogas is the ideal energy solution for today’s world. It provides clean fuel to meet demands, reduces the load on the local power grid, and produces organic manure for farming as a by-product. Since biogas production utilizes biowaste, pasteurized biomass, condensed substrate, digestate feed, and slaughterhouse waste; it also significantly reduces water and land waste.

Biogas Production

  • A Bio-Mix pump is used to mix and transfer slurry made of Macerated bio-waste and digestate liquid (at 70°C) into fermentation tanks.
  • In an oxygen-free environment inside fermentation tanks, microorganisms transform organic matter into methane-rich biogas and carbon dioxide through a process called anaerobic digestion.
  • A progressive cavity pump is used to circulate the sludge heat exchangers to maintain sludge temperature at 37 °C. This ensures that anaerobic bacteria remain intact inside the fermentation tank.
  • After fermentation, the resulting digestate slurry is transferred by a biomass pump to open lagoons.
  • Finally, a progressive cavity pump is used to fill the organic manure.

Progressive Cavity Pump Applications in the Biogas Industry

  • Feeding highly viscous bio-waste slurry to fermentation tanks.
  • Recirculation of fermentation tank slurry and feeding to the digestate storage tanks
  • Mixing of Biowaste with the digestate slurry
  • Transfer of digestate to bio-mix unit & open lagoon
  • Transferring Organic Manure from open lagoon to tractors
