Anaerobic digester Kompogas®

The heart of every Kompogas® plant is the horizontal plug-flow digester. It is available in modular construction, in either steel or concrete, in a range of sizes from a usable volume of 1,200 m3. The streamlined design of both types facilitates space-saving arrangements. Several digesters can be combined and operated in parallel for plants with a large throughput. Both types meet the stringent water pollution regulations in different countries. The horizontal agitator is structurally designed to withstand very high torque loads and enable smooth restarts after periods of downtime. A plough-shaped paddlehead ensures that the substrate is optimally mixed and degassed. This prevents excessive sedimentation of solids in the digester and thus allows many years of operation without interruption for maintenance. A built-in heating system facilitates the thermophilic process and makes sure that the digestate is completely sanitised, while a specially developed inoculation system ensures a stable biological process.
