Biogas laboratory

• Engineering & Technology

Phone: (+34) 943 212800

A fully equipped laboratory for researching and evaluating all types of technologies related to the production of biogas and/or biomethane: single- or multi-stage anaerobic digestion, in the mesophilic or thermophilic range, under wet conditions or with high solids concentrations, anMBR (membrane bioreactor) technologies and pre-treatment processes (thermal, ultrasonic). It is equipped with small-scale testing systems, pilot plants and process simulators using proprietary software.

Equipment

• Automatic BMP testing system for assessing biogas potential in any type of organic waste
• Pilot biomethanisation plants on various scales (5 L to 1 m³) using conventional, membrane-based, multi-stage and dry digestion technologies
• Anaerobic process simulator for optimising design and operation using different combinations of technologies and organic waste
• Extensive analytical capabilities for characterising organic waste and monitoring anaerobic processes, including chromatographic analysis of volatile fatty acids

• Assessment of the potential for biogas, biomethane and biohydrogen production from any type of organic waste using standardised systems
• Continuous biomethanisation trials at a pilot plant on various scales
• Exploratory analysis of technologies and waste streams using mathematical modelling and in-house simulators
