Hochreiter’s – single tank plant

  • Cost-effective variant for pure slurry/manure plants
  • Expandable at any time
  • lowerable filling level
  • Compact design
  • robust single-screw feeding “Fuada Sepp” for manure entry

Facts

  • Covering the own electricity demand for farm and biogas plants
  • A high manure content even above 80% is no problem, due to our robust technology
  • Little additional workload in the day-to-day operation of the company
  • Produce your own heat and earn additional profit by selling the surplus heat
  • Independent & sustainable energy production from own manure and dung
  • Slurry refinement

Hochreiter’s – PLANT SYSTEMS from 150kW

As a pioneer in the industry, operator and owner of our own biogas plants, we have a lot of experience in the sector. This experience benefits customers in design and construction, and in achieving the highest level of cost-effectiveness.

“There is no such thing as a classic Hochreiter plant, because every plant is different and is individually adapted to each customer – from farmers to industrial customers.”“There is no such thing as a classic Hochreiter plant, because every plant is different and is individually adapted to each customer – from farmers to industrial customers.”

We adapt your future system to your local conditions and wishes,
so that the system runs easily, smoothly and, of course, economically.
That’s why we have developed various concepts.

Ring-in-Ring

A large tank in which fermenter & secondary fermenter can be combined
(outer ring = fermenter, inner ring = secondary fermenter)

From 250kW to 2.5 MW

  • Very space saving & compact
  • Lower heat demand due to insulated concrete ceiling
  • Fluidic optimized
  • Short distances between pipes (overflow, digester/post-digester)
  • Maintenance-friendly due to large inspection openings in the ceiling
  • Low heat loss in the post-digester, as this is located in the inner ring
  • Very good control through sighting devices in the ceiling

Biogas plants for special requirements and waste recycling:

  • Robust and simple stirring technology (BAFA)
  • Energy-saving solid entry (BAFA)
  • Sand rake system, which is used to discharge settling materials, such as sand from laying hen manure, during operation

  • suitable for all waste such as organic waste, bio waste, slaughterhouse waste, etc.

  • Solutions for floating layers of e.g. light plastic, packaging material, etc.

FLEXIBILIZATION

Biogas Flexibilization, more revenue, little effort in everyday life

A lot of new specifications and requirements have to be taken into account, in order to achieve more revenue for less effort on a day-to-day basis. Numerous questions arise for the plant operator.

Questions & Answers

“Flex operation” means shutting down at peak power prices and shutting down at low prices to store valuable biogas. The operator therefore benefits from the increased remuneration during peak electricity periods.

The direct marketer creates a sample schedule that is controlled by the flexible CHP unit according to the electricity price.

Your existing plant must be adapted to the requirement for flexible operation. Typically, this means overbuilding the electrical capacity and increasing the gas storage.

We carry out a free system check and work out your individual, flexible system concept, together with you.

Plant certificate, requirements for approval, acceptance according to §29a BimSchG, statutory order on hazardous incidents

We advise you in detail on questions concerning direct marketing, grid compatibility assessment and grid connection extension, transformer stations, environmental assessment for flexible operation, plant certificate, noise assessment, water law, acceptance in accordance with §29a BimSchG.

BIOMETHANE / LNG

Available quickly and at any time, versatile in use, resource-saving in production

Facts

  • Biomethane is climate and environmentally friendly
  • has a better CO2 balance than fossil fuels
  • advanced fuel that is RED II compliant
  • Can be used as gaseous Bio-CNG or liquid Bio-LNG

Biogas consists mainly of 50-60% methane, the remaining components are CO2 and a small amount of trace gases. The latter are considered impurities and must be separated from the other components before being fed into the natural gas network.

The separation of biogas to high quality biomethane can be done with different methods.

The most common methods are membrane technology or PSA (pressure swing adsorption).

Membrane technology is used to compress the biogas and then filter the methane using modern separation modules. Here, several membrane pipes are usually used at the same time. This process is relatively simple and now technically very well developed, which ensures reliable operation.

In pressure swing adsorption, the biogas undergoes a pressure increase as the first step. Subsequently, the carbon dioxide molecules are adsorbed in special columns by strong and rapid pressure changes. This process is run a few times in several columns, and in the process the biomethane is extracted from the raw biogas.

CO2 is also produced during the production of biomethane. This can be used in greenhouses, chemical plants and for beverage and food production.
