Biogas plant - Import export

Biological exhaust air cleaning is used whenever exhaust air has to be cleaned from volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odours. Biofilters play a major role in this process. The polluted exhaust air is passed through a filter medium where the VOCs and odours are separated. Normally, this medium is an organic carrier material where microorganisms are grown on. They convert the VOCs and odours into noncritical components by means of their metabolism. Especially regarding the removal of odorous substances, biofilters are a very efficient and comparatively inexpensive way of biofiltration with an efficiency of up to 99 %. BIOCATbiofilters have a high degree of efficiency in a wide range of applications, even for exhaust air components that are difficult to dissolve in water.

WASTE TO ENERGY INDUSTRY BIOGAS FROM ANAEROBIC WASTE WATER TREATMENT AND WASTE FERMENTATION PLANTS. Due to their technical characteristics and profitability, Lipp tank and system solutions are used in a variety of industrial biogas plants. Two areas of application can be distinguished, which in many cases also follow both objectives. APPROPRIATE PROCESS TECHNOLOGY, SUITABLE CONTAINER TECHNOLOGY AND THE RIGHT DIMENSIONSFirst, the anaerobic treatment of various industrial waste waters, such as in food production, biofuels or similar. The main objective here is the anaerobic pretreatment of highly contaminated but easily degradable waste water to reduce the COD load before it can go to the next stage of aerobic waste water treatment. The challenge is that in spite of the low DM content, a high degree of degradation is achieved by biomass retention or return and at the same time, biogas is produced. Due to the flexibility and variability of the Lipp system in terms of procedures

OVER 45 YEARS’ EXPERIENCE IN AGRICULTURAL BIOGAS PLANTS When deciding on a biogas plant, the manufacturer’s experience should be prioritised. It is not just a question of economic viability, but essentially of optimal design. Lipp GmbH has over 45 years’ experience in this area and is continually developing the technology. The biogas plants manufactured by Lipp are based on a rounded plant concept in terms of consulting, development, manufacture and assembly. With its comprehensive expertise and the use of proven technologies such as the Lipp dual seam system, the material Verinox, and high quality accessories, the highest level of quality is achieved with optimum economic efficiency.

Both systems are also ideally suitable for feeding pigs and cattle. They enable the feed to be used in an energy saving and environmentally friendly way which is fully automated and not dependent on the weather. As far as the use of renewable raw materials in biogas plants is concerned, besides being suitable for automation this system offers the benefit of significantly reduced retention time in the digester, making it extremely efficient and economical. All containers benefit from the familiar advantages provided by the tried and tested LIPP Double Seam System and the LIPP material VERINOX. These two systems have been proving their agricultural worth in terms of liquid preservation for more than three decades.

BIOGAS FOR INDUSTRY, MUNICIPALITIES AND AGRICULTURE In addition to tank construction, LIPP built the first biogas plant in Germany in the 70’s. Furthermore, LIPP was one of the first companies to develop and sell small biogas plants in the early 80’s. By steady advancements in production technology and the materials used, as well as extensive experience in process engineering LIPP has installed in collaboration with its partners, hundreds of biogas plants in Germany and worldwide. The majority of these projects are still in operation and ensure proof of the high quality and the technical and economic performance of Lipp’s system solutions. LIPP provide system solutions for biogas production in the following areas APPLICATIONS anaerobic wastewater treatment plants waste fermentation plants sewage sludge digestion agricultural biogas plants

Lipp systems are modular and can be extended, modified or integrated into existing systems WITH EASE. Biogas plants from Lipp are based on the so called, wet fermentation. Through a 2 stage process, i.e., via regulation by an upstream hydrolysis stage or other substrate pre treatment, input materials are prepared so that the anaerobic process can run optimally in the digester. Since it is the most flexible and the biological processes are best kept controllable Lipp favours the SBR process. This is also particularly suitable for anaerobic wastewater treatment, sludge digestion and is also used in agricultural biogas deposits. This means first that Lipp biogas plants are substrate flexible and allow an intensive use of the available digester area. Secondly, that with low self sustaining energy requirements, a high degradation rate is achieved. It is interesting to note that Lipp’s digester can be operated not just in the SBR process (Sequence Batch Reactor).

SYSTEM SOLUTIONS FOR THE STORAGE OF CEREAL PASTE AND SUGAR BEET Lipp plans and sells storage systems for biomass such as cereal paste or sugar beet under the brand names LIGAVATOR and BETAVATOR. These systems are generally gas tight and both roof and container base (optional) are made of solid stainless steel, since the stored media can give rise to very aggressive juices and gases. With this type of storage the substances are preserved and can be used over a very long period. Automatic withdrawal and substrate delivery can also be installed in the following systems by an appropriate control system. APPLICATION EXAMPLES AND REFERENCES In addition to pure crop storage, the Lipp LIGAVATOR / BETAVATOR systems are mainly used as substrate storage for agricultural or industrial biogas plants, and are installed before the fermenter for appropriate substrate supply. They allow largely automated control of a biogas plant, as there is no need for a regular manual substrate supply.
