The GUNT Biogas Plant demonstrates biogas production through the biological degradation of organic substrates by anaerobic microorganisms. This two-stage system allows detailed study of biogas generation and control.
Product Features
- Two stirred tank reactors: first for hydrolysis and acidification, second for biogas formation
- Substrate is a suspension of shredded organic solids (e.g., potatoes or maize)
- Microorganisms convert long-chain organic substances into short-chain compounds and biogas (mainly methane and CO₂)
- Separate tanks for digestate collection
- Temperature and pH controlled independently in both reactors
- Biogas dried in a silica gel-filled column
- Measurement of biogas flow rate, humidity, methane content, carbon dioxide content, and temperature
- PLC control with touch screen interface and integrated router for operation via external devices and screen mirroring
- Measured values stored internally with access via WLAN/LAN to customer network
- Supports both continuous and batch (discontinuous) operation modes
- Requires anaerobic biomass as substrate and inert gas (e.g., CO₂) for flushing
Benefits
- Provides hands-on experience with anaerobic digestion and biogas production processes
- Allows optimization of ambient conditions in separate reactors
- Enables detailed biogas quality and quantity monitoring
- Flexible operation modes suitable for various educational and research applications
