Hyperthermics - Bioactive Pre-treatment for Biogas Yield Enhancement
Hyperthermics offers innovative technology designed to enhance biogas yield from biomass substrates, boosting the capacity of biogas plants. The company's bioactive pre-treatment plant processes substrates prior to entering the biogas reactor, thereby increasing biogas production efficiency. This technology can also substitute traditional hygienisation or pasteurization processes. The pre-treatment significantly reduces the hydraulic retention time within the biogas reactor, thanks to Hyperthermics' proprietary bacterial cultures and the plant's elevated operating temperature. This reduction and increased efficiency largely depend on the substrate composition. Through this pre-treatment process, Hyperthermics guarantees biogas production can increase by 5% to 25%, improving overall plant performance. Plant sizing and repayment periods are calculated based on the mix and distribution of biomass fractions. Hyperthermics offers both full flow and part flow configurations, accommodating different operational needs within biogas plants while enhancing overall yield and process efficiency.
Hyperthermics’ technology will increase the biogas yield from the biomass and increase your biogas plant's capacity.
Hyperthermics' bioactive pre-treatment plant pre-treats the substrate before it enters the biogas reactor. This pre-treatment process provides increased biogas production and can also replace a conventional hygienisation/pasteurization plant.
The process usually takes around 14–30 days, depending on the composition of the substrate. After a few hours of processing at the Hyperthermics plant, the biogas reactor's hydraulic retention time is reduced by several days, again, depending on the substrate. This is a consequence of our unique bacteria cultures and the plant's high working temperature.
What efficiency gains can you expect?
Based on the fractions mix in the incoming biomass and its percentage distribution, we can estimate the biogas production, and calculate the size of the plant and the repayment period.
This setup shows the Hyperthermics reactor as an advanced hygienisation/pasteurisation plant in a biogas plant in which all biomass is hygienised. The Hyperthermics reactor provides 5–25% increased biogas production and the hydraulic retention time in the biogas reactor is reduced by several days.
This setup also shows the Hyperthermics reactor as an advanced hygienisation/pasteurisation plant in a biogas plant. However, here it is just the hygienisable/pasteurisable part of the biomass that is processed and gives an increased gas yield.
