Biogas plant - Import export

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

It is particularly suitable for the collection of residual gases and for improving efficiency.

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

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.

SOLUTION TO EFFECTIVELY STORE EXCESSIVE HEAT FROM BIOGAS PLANTS – FROM 2,000 TO 6,000 M³ The LIPP® Thermal Storage Tank is a customized solution to effectively store excessive heat from biogas plants, biomass heating plants, solar plants or other heat sources. The carbon steel tanks are fabricated on site with the patented automated LIPP® Welding Technology. The horizontal MAW welding process enables the infinitely variable production of tanks up to 6,000 m³ volume with horizontal welding only. The large volume, above ground storage tanks are fitted with all necessary safety and operation equipment. Additional, individual components according to client’s specification can be considered. The roof and wall insulation is individually adapted to local conditions. The LIPP® Thermal Storage Tanks operate at atmospheric pressure, at a temperature of up to 95° C and are suitable for use with heating water. No additional nitrogen system necessary.

ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE, MAINTENANCE FREE AND PROTECTED AGAINST EXTERNAL EFFECTS The pressureless gas storage system of Lipp is used for the storage of gas produced on landfill sites, waste water treatment plants and also as external storage on biogas plants. The system is determined by its robust and technical advanced construction where the gas balloon is protected by a galvanized steel tank. This protects the balloon against UV light and also other external factors. The system is mostly utilized at landfill sites or WWTP to buffer the gas before its further processing. The experience gained during the past decades has improved the complete system and the single components and makes it a perfect choice for end users and general contractors.
