The key members of the Renergon group are looking back on a longstanding professional experience in various areas of biogas, which even go back to the early days of biogas technology in Germany .
Findings from wet fermentation, combined with long lasting experience in waste management mainly from municipality green leftovers and the hereto related composting were the triggers for the entrance and the successful development of solid-state digestion plants.
The plant on the Biomassehof Langenau (Germany), designed and constructed by our engineers and bio-experts shows impressively the different steps towards today’s state-of-the-art. This plant gives the unique opportunity for further improvements on a large-scale base.
process & technology
At the first glance, production of energy out of biomass by means of digestion seems to be established in western European countries. In fact most of the biomass for this purpose is produced as energy crops in competition to food production.
Biomass out of waste is still not used efficient in relation to its huge potential. If you consider the typically used technology this is not astonishing. Wet digestion technology shows a lot of restrictions for biomass with a high dry matter content. Actually biomass out of (household) waste is existing in large quantities and proper use of it could make a substantial contribution to the move towards green energy and climate protection.
This is exactly the starting point of Renergon technology. Generally most of the existing biomass in the waste sector is found as solid (stackable) state. The different consistencies, as well as the different occurring impurities are serious problems for the existing technologies especially in economic terms.
