Methanation and Cogeneration
An ecological and profitable process
AGRICULTURAL METHANIZATION, OR ANAEROBIC DIGESTION
ECOLOGICAL AND PROFITABLE
The anaerobic digestion process is the transformation of organic matter into biogas by a biological process of anaerobic fermentation. This process is therefore natural, biological by the degradation of organic matter in the absence of oxygen.
Some of the organic matter is broken down into methane, and some is used by methanogenic microorganisms for their growth and reproduction.
The decomposition is not complete and leaves the "digestate" partly comparable to compost.
Methanization is also a technique implemented in methanizers where the process is accelerated and maintained to produce usable methane: biogas. Biogas is a combustible gas.
By recovering the waste from your operation, it therefore becomes an inexhaustible resource. By producing the digestate, you therefore also reduce your fertilizer costs.
BIOGAS
Biogas is renewable and inexhaustible energy. It comes from the process of anaerobic fermentation (without oxygen) of organic matter.
Biogas is a gas composed of 50 to 70% methane (CH4), 30 to 50% carbon dioxide (CO2) and some other gases (H2S, NH3, <1%).
THE DIGESTATE
The digestate is what remains of the plants after anaerobic digestion: water, mineral fertilizing elements (N, P, K, mg, etc.) and fibers.
It is a quality fertilizer for crops.
