\nAt the end of January, BioBANG<\/span> has started up a New unit in southern England!\n<\/p>\n\n

\nSheppey Energy <\/span> is the new plant built by BioConstruct and owned by Farm Renewables<\/span> which will be fed almost exclusively with straw.\n<\/p>\n\n

\nIn 2018, Farm Renewables has already installed BioBANG<\/span> in recirculation on their \u201cBroadley Energy\u201d biogas plant obtaining great results in terms of viscosity reduction and increase in the energy efficiency of straw, only 6 months after starting BioBANG<\/span>. At the following link you <\/span><\/a> can find the Case History.\n<\/p>\n\n

\nGiven the excellent experience and the great results obtained on the first plant, Farm Renewables together with BioConstruct have decided to include a new BioBANG<\/span> unit in the project of a new biomethane plant whose daily feeding almost exclusively involves the use of straw.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

\nTo optimize the use of straw in the plant, Farm Renewables and BioConstruct have integrated a loading line for straw to BioBANG<\/span>, consisting of a bale breaker, straw chopper and extruder to produce pellets to be mixed with the liquid and then sent to the digester. The efficient loading line allows the straw to be loaded into the digester, without using large quantities of liquid, while once it\u2019s load in the digester, the straw is subjected to the cavitation treatment of BioBANG<\/span> which maximizes its efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n

\nBioBANG<\/span> in recirculation on the digester takes the percentage of straw (made up of fibers, cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, etc …) which floats on the surface, treats it and recirculates the cavitated straw in the lower part of the digester, ready to be hydrolyzed and digested.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

\nWith this installation, BioBANG<\/span> doesn\u2019t compete with bacteria for that percentage of material loaded in the digester that is already immediately digestible, thus maximizing its effect with the lowest possible energy consumption.\n<\/p>\n\n
