At KEPLER we are committed to the generation of EE.RR.

For this reason, we invest heavily every year in our biotechnological laboratory as well as in our pilot plants at different scales to offer our customers a complete assessment (from preliminary tests to semi-industrial trials) of the potential applicability of anaerobic digestion as a biotechnology to valorize their waste.

This month we have started the year with the incorporation of a new equipment within our biogas services portfolio. For this purpose, we had the pleasure of welcoming Mario Rosato, CEO/R&D at Sustainable Technologies SRL, in our laboratory, with whom we have fine-tuned the AMPTS Light equipment and reviewed all the possibilities offered by this technology.

This state-of-the-art equipment is designed to perform biochemical methane potential (BMP) tests, essential to assess the potential profitability of the biogas plant during the treatment of a substrate (or mixture of substrates), specific methanogenic activity (SMA) tests and hydrolytic activity verification (decisive in plant start-up), routine tests in industrial biogas plants to prevent process problems caused by potentially inhibitory substrates, such as animal excrements with antibiotics, slaughterhouse waste, waste from the pharmaceutical industry, etc.

Taking advantage of the occasion, we have visited with Mario our Biogas Pilot Plant, located in the experimental farm of Calidad Pascual in Fuentespina, where we have contrasted opinions about our anaerobic digestion technology of double stage sequential hydrolysis.
