Batch fermenter
ISF SCHAUMANN Research has long been investing in the optimisation of fermentation processes.
Field test biogas plant
Field test biogas plant
The ISF SCHAUMANN research team decided to build a 776 kW field test biogas plant at Gut Hülsenberg.
776-kW field test biogas plant
526 kW electrical output and 250 kW via satellite CHP unit
ISF Schaumann Research decided to build a 776 kW field test biogas plant on Huelsenberg Estate in order to be able to test whether the results of model trials can be applied to practical biogas production.
Two identical fermentation streams allow one trial variant each to be compared with a control variant on a practically viable scale.
75 kW liquid manure biogas plant
For the exclusive fermentation of cattle manure
The second biogas research plant on Huelsenberg Estate was commissioned in December 2013. The 75 kW biogas is solely used to ferment liquid cattle manure.
The key features of this plant include a system for recovering heat from spent slurry and the installation of special non-woven mats in the fermenter’s gas holder to implement a desulphurisation system.
Micro biogas plants
There are 24 continuously operated small-scale biogas plants at the ISF Schaumann Research Technical Centre.
