A Fixed Dome Portable (FDP) design refers to the structural configuration of the biogas plant. The gas collector is a crucial component where biogas accumulates. In a portable setting, this design allows for easy transportation and installation of the biogas plant at various locations. Despite being portable, the fixed dome ensures durability and a consistent space for gas collection, reducing the need for moving parts and thus, minimizing maintenance requirements.
High-Pressure Biogas (HPB) capability means that the biogas plant is designed to compress and store biogas at higher pressures than standard biogas digesters. This feature is highly beneficial as it increases the energy density of the gas, making it more efficient for storage and transport. High-pressure biogas can also be used to power more demanding applications, such as cooking appliances and high-pressure boilers or engines.
Automatic Slurry Mixing (ASM) is a feature that enhances the digestion process within the biogas plant. By automatically mixing the slurry (the mixture of organic waste and water), the system ensures that the presence of microorganisms responsible for biogas production are evenly available throughout the digester. This process helps to prevent the formation of scum to an extent and ensures a more efficient breakdown of organic material, resulting in higher biogas yields.
A Detachable Gas Collector (DGC) allows for the collection and storage of the biogas. The gas collector can be easily separated from the main digester body as and when required. This feature simplifies maintenance and cleaning tasks, as well as assists in transport and installation.
The Discharge Control System (DCS) gives operators precise control over the removal of digested slurry from the biogas plant. Proper management of the digested output is essential for maintaining the efficiency of the digestion process and for the handling of by-products. The DCS can help ensure that the digester remains at optimal levels for continuous biogas production and can also aid in the hygienization of the digested slurry, making it safer for use as a fertilizer.
Centralized Feeding Provision (CFP) refers to a design aspect that allows for the easy and centralized addition of organic waste into the biogas plant. This feature makes the feeding process more efficient .
An Automatic Pressure Regulator (APR) is an essential safety and efficiency feature in a high-pressure biogas system. It automatically controls the pressure of the biogas within the plant, ensuring that it remains within safe and optimal operating levels. This not only protects the system from overpressure situations but also ensures consistent biogas quality and flow to the utilization point.
