Farmers and operators
Farmers and other operators have little time and need simple, robust solutions for everything related to their biogas installations and their reliable, efficient operation. That’s why SILOXA not only offers high-quality technical solutions, but will also make things easy, with straightforward processes —from planning, to ensuring the efficient operation of your biogas plant. With our comprehensive service and suitable activated carbon, we ensure your plant always functions optimally.
OEM’s and technical installers
OEM’s and technical installers of biogas plants require experienced partners and efficient solutions, to meet the high demands of the plants they are placing. The engineers at SILOXA provide comprehensive support to help overcome the challenges of efficient plant operation. Our products meet, and quite often exceed all the requirements of OEM’s and technical installers, and our expert teams are always happy to provide any further advice and support.
Distributors
Our high-quality solutions for biogas cleaning and conditioning are easy to use, in whatever market. Distributors who resell our products and systems nationally and internationally, benefit from our broad product range, excellent service, flexible agreements, and attractive pricing models. With our support, distributors can offer their customers innovative and reliable solutions, that meet the highest quality standards.
Biogas
In biogas plants, the anaerobic (without oxygen) breakdown of organic matter by microorganisms (fermentation) takes place in so-called digesters. Various raw materials such as animal manure, corn silage, or organic waste materials are used here for biogas production. The methane content in biogas is approximately 50-60%.
Generally speaking, Biogas is contaminated with hydrogen sulfide (H2S). In plants using renewable resources (NAWARO), this is also the primary impurity. When using other biomass, such as organic waste (co-fermentation), additional volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in biogas should also be expected.
Our activated carbon solutions:
- NAWARO: ACO S, ACO BS, and ACO KOH
- Co-fermentation: ACO DUO varieties
Sewage gas
During the treatment process, organic contaminants are removed from wastewater, together with the sewage sludge. In digesters, the anaerobic (oxygen-free) breakdown of organic matter—here, sewage sludge—occurs through microorganisms. Therefore, sewage gas is often referred to as digester gas. The methane content in sewage gas is approximately 55-65%.
Sewage gas is typically contaminated with hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and siloxanes. In some cases, significant amounts of VOCs can also be found. The contamination of sewage gas with hydrogen sulfide is very low when iron compounds are used in the wastewater treatment process for sludge precipitation, as this also leads to a significant reduction of sulfur in the aqueous phase.
Our activated carbon solutions:
- ACO DUO varieties
- ACO SI varieties
Landfill gas
Landfill gas is produced in landfills as microorganisms break down the stored organic waste. The methane content in landfill gas is approximately 55-60%, but it can be significantly lower as a result of the technical extraction of the gas.
The impurities in landfill gas can vary greatly from one landfill to another, depending on the types of waste stored. VOCs — including siloxanes — are always present as impurities. Hydrogen sulfide is typically also found in landfill gas, but it is usually not the dominant impurity.
Our activated carbon solutions:
- ACO SI varieties
- ACO SIRP varieties
