Heat Use for Biogas Plants
RST Fermentation Substrate Drying
  • Quantity Reduction: The fermentation substrate is reduced by evaporating liquid (0.7-1 kg/kWh), saving up to 50% in storage capacity and transport logistics.
  • Automatic Operation: The plant operates automatically with low maintenance and energy expenditure, integrating into the process with automatic filling and emptying.
  • Continuous Operation: Year-round utilization is possible, enhancing economic fertilizer production by increasing dry matter content up to 50%.
  • Dry Matter Content: Evaporation increases the slurry's dry matter content up to 12%, enhancing nutrient concentration per m³.
  • Exhaust Air Scrubber: Binds ammonia with sulfuric acid, creating a solid ammonium sulfate bond (ASL), turning manure into high-quality fertilizer.
  • Dust-Free Operation: The substrate is reduced to a maximum of 12% dry matter, with exhaust air purification ensuring no odorous emissions.
  • Waste Heat Utilization: The plant uses available waste heat, with power varying based on heat availability. Example: 600 kWh results in approximately 600 liters/h evaporated liquid, saving storage and transport of 4800 m³ annually.
Functionality

The plant increases solid content in the fermentation substrate by evaporating liquid. Rotating drums with heated contact plates immerse in the substrate, and heated air flows through, removing evaporated liquid. This process doubles nutrient content and reduces volume, saving logistics costs.

CHP Bonus Requirements
  • Fertilizer Production: Treatment aims for weight reduction to improve transport and storage capacity.
  • Heating Network Connection: Must be at least 400 m in length.
  • Energy Efficiency: Plant should not exceed 1,500 kWh (therm) to evaporate 1,000 l of water.
  • Nitrogen Loss: Should be less than 30%, with deductions for exhaust gas and air cleaning products.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Installations must be notified to the competent authority, with quantity detection via flow meter and energy requirement via heat quantity meter.
  • Air Quality Compliance: Exhaust air purification must comply with TA-air standards, with odour indication in ppm/m³.
  • Environmental Coordination: Plant coordination with the responsible environmental expert is required.

Heat use for biogas plants-1

Heat use for biogas plants RST fermentation substrate drying for biogas plants Quantity reduction of the fermentation substrate by evaporating of liquid (0,71 kg/kWh) - Savings of storage capacity and transport logistics up to 50 % - Recognition in the Fermenter volume capacity Automatic plant operation with low maintenance and energy expenditure - Plant is integrated into the process; with automatic filling and emptying - Continuous plant operation with year-round-utilization possible Economic fertilizer production by increasing the dry matter content up to 50 % - Due to the evaporation of liquid the dry matter content of the slurry increases up to 12 %. The nutrients per m3 increase accordingly. - The exhaust air scrubber binds the ammonia with sulfuric acid. This results in a solid ammonium sulfate bond (ASL) (= liquid fertilizer). In the mixture with ASL the manure becomes a high-quality fertilizer. Dust-free plant operation - The fermentation substrate is reduced to a maximum of 12 % dry matter. Plant operation only with exhaust air purification according to Air Quality Control (TAair), as a result no odorous emission. Use of the complete available waste heat, CHP bonus capable - The power varies with the available heat. Only time is influenced by this. - Example: At 600 kWh x 1 l /kW = approx. 600 liters/h evaporated liquid - At an 8000 h annual operation this corresponds to approx. 4800 m³ of liquid that doesn´t need not be stored and transported.

Heat use for biogas plants-2

Function: It is a plant for increasing the solid content in the fermentation substrate by evaporation of liquid. Rotating drums immerse continuously heated contact plates in the substrate. The moistened metal sheets are guided into the air flow. The heated air flows through the sheets and takes away the evaporated liquid. This results in high-quality manure as the nutrient content is doubled by the reduction of the amount. In addition, the volume reduction saves logistics efforts and costs when bringing out the manure. In order to grant the CHP bonus, the following points have to be proven: Preparation...
