BioBANG: The unique, innovative and disruptive solution to maximise the efficiency and sustainability of biomethane plants

BioBANG® sustainability of biomethane plants

The benefits of increased efficiency and reduced costs in the operation of biomethane plants are key to achieving long-term sustainability and profitability. The integration of BioBANG to the cogenerator via a reducer is a game changer and unlocks several advantages for biomethane plant operators.

1. Increased yield and reduced retention time from waste biomass
One of the most significant benefits of this integration is the increased yield from waste biomass. BioBANG, through the dynamic and direct physical energy of controlled cavitation, breaks down the fibre into smaller particles, exposing more surface area to the microorganisms responsible for the anaerobic digestion process. This leads to a faster and more complete digestion of organic matter that is more difficult in the plant’s retention time, resulting in increased biomethane production.

2. Significantly improved viscosity and reduced consumption of mixers and pumping systems
Another benefit derived from BioBANG pre-treatment is the significant improvement in viscosity in the digesters, which leads to greater hydraulic safety of the plant, with savings in the energy consumption of mixers and pumping systems. The shock waves of BioBANG‘s controlled cavitation not only disintegrate but also homogenise the organic matter, making it more fluid and easier to mix and eliminating the risk of surface ‘hats’ or crusts. This reduces the amount of energy required to keep the digesters properly mixed, resulting in significant energy savings in the plant’s self-consumption.

3. The same energy used to digest is used to heat!
The pre-treatment energy produced by BioBANG is totally converted into free heating. This means that the same energy used to break down the biomass can be totally recovered to heat the digesters and other parts of the biomethane plant, reducing the need for external heating sources. This not only saves on energy costs, but also reduces greenhouse gas emissions associated with the use of fossil fuels for heating.

4. A single technology to maximise the efficiency of your biomethane plant
The combination of these advantages offers a substantial increase in overall efficiency and cost savings for biomethane plant operators. By taking advantage of BioBANG‘s controlled cavitation, biomethane plants can maximise their yield, keep viscosity under control at all times, reduce energy self-consumption and at the same time generate free heating. These advantages contribute to the overall sustainability of the plant and ensure its long-term profitability.

In conclusion, the integration of BioBANG into the cogenerator via a gearbox is an innovative solution that offers unique advantages to biomethane plant operators. It maximises the potential of waste biomass, optimises hydraulic management, reduces energy consumption and generates free heating.

This integration is therefore a significant evolutionary step towards complete self-efficiency, sustainability and long-term profitability of biomethane plants.
