BIOTECHNOLOGY LABORATORY

Biogas

Biogas neither begins nor ends with pipes, pumps and tanks. On the contrary, biology plays a fundamental role in the success or failure of a project. That is why our laboratory is integrated and supports all phases of the project: promotion and business plan, engineering, construction and operation.

POTENTIAL TESTS (BMP)
THE PROJECT'S POTENTIAL
Estimation of potential

Estimation of the biomethane production potential of a substrate, a key first step in assessing the technical and economic feasibility of a biomethane plant.

DIET DESIGN
DIETARY ASSESSMENT
Diet design

Advice on diet design to maximize biomethane production, facilitate future plant operation and digestate quality.

INOCULUM SELECTION
ACCELERATES START-UP
Selection of inoculum

Advice on the selection of the inoculum to maximize methane production. It is a fundamental test to plan the start-up of the biogas plant, since it evaluates the suitability of an inoculum to transform the diet foreseen in the anaerobic digester into methane.

SEMI-CONTINUOUS TESTING
HOLISTIC SIMULATIONS
Simulation of conditions

Simulation of plant operating conditions under steady-state conditions to determine different design parameters

DIGESTATE CHARACTERIZATION AND APPLICATION
KNOW ITS PROPERTIES
Digestate

Analysis of the composition, destination and application of digestate as a source of nutrients and/or organic matter according to:

  • Royal Decree 840/2024, of August 27, amending Royal Decree 1051/2022, of December 27, establishing standards for sustainable nutrition in agricultural soils.
  • Royal Decree 1051/2022, of December 27, establishing standards for sustainable nutrition in agricultural soils.
  • Law 7/2022, of April 8, on waste and contaminated soils for a circular economy.
  • Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2019 laying down provisions on the making available on the market of EU fertilizer products.
