Basic research

Every process of methane fermentation is preceded by preliminary studies of biogas performance of input materials, which allow to predict the quantity and quality of biogas, which can be obtained from the given substrates. On the basis of the results it can determined the load on the digester.

Basic research of input materials and pulp digester include:
• Dry matter;
• Dry organic matter;
• CHZT and BZT5;
• Concentration of ammonium nitrogen;
• Concentration of volatile fatty acids pH;
• phosphate concentration.
