Manure biogas plants
All types of manure
Manure digesters can efficiently process various types of manure, including cow manure, pig manure, poultry litter, and more. The key requirement is that the manure should have sufficient organic matter content for efficient digestion. Through the anaerobic digestion of manure, agricultural and farm industries can lower their CI-score (carbon intensity score), create additional revenue streams, and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Manure digesters
If managed properly, manure is a valuable resource – manure digesters effectively manage and recycle the manure, reduce odors, and produce biogas from manure. Our manure biogas plant are highly efficient due to the heat recovery system, patented double membrane roofs, mixer configuration, and our high priority on research and development. Our 30+ years of research and development ensure optimal performance of the biogas plant.
Renewable energy and byproducts
Manure biogas plants provide a sustainable method of producing renewable energy for the agricultural and farming sectors. The generated renewable energy can be used on-site or injected into the national grid, creating an extra revenue stream. Additionally, the byproduct of the anaerobic digestion process is a nutrient-rich bio-fertilizer. This bio-fertilizer can be used to enhance soil fertility and reduce the need for chemical fertilizers – further cutting down expenses. Contact us to request more information on manure biogas plants.
Biomethane from manure
Biomethane production at a dairy farm in Koudum – located in the northern Friesland region of the Netherlands. The manure biogas plant produces biomethane from manure via anaerobic digestion and biogas upgrading, this generates additional income for the dairy farmer while increasing sustainability. The biogas upgrading system produces up to 40 Nm3/hr (25 SCFM) of biomethane with an efficiency of 99.5%.
Frequently asked questions
Which types of manure can be digested?
All common manures work, including cattle slurry, pig manure and poultry litter, whether liquid or solid. The key requirement is enough organic matter for the micro-organisms to convert; very dilute or heavily bedded manure yields less gas. A feedstock check shows the realistic output for your herd. More information.
Is manure enough on its own, or should we add other feedstock?
Manure digests reliably on its own, which is the basis of the Microferm concept, but adding an energy-rich co-substrate such as food residues or fats lifts gas output considerably. Many farms start with manure only and add co-digestion later as offtake grows. More information.
Is my farm the right size for a manure biogas plant?
Manure digesters scale from single farms upward, so it comes down to a steady supply of manure and a use for the energy and heat rather than a minimum size. A farm-scale plant suits businesses that want to cut emissions, manage slurry and add a revenue stream. More information.
What does a manure biogas plant deliver?
Beyond renewable energy, digesting manure lowers your carbon intensity score, which raises the value of the gas under many incentive schemes, and it yields a more consistent biofertiliser. Together that turns a disposal cost into income. More information.
What happens to the slurry after digestion?
Digestion keeps the nutrients and returns them as digestate, a biofertiliser with nitrogen in a more plant-available form than raw slurry. It is also more homogeneous and lower in odour, which makes spreading easier and more predictable. More information.
