Roof-mounted agitators for the digester
No sedimentation, no floating layers - constant substrate circulation

Practical Experience: BGP Steinfurt / Hollich, Germany
- Typical FARMATIC digester made from enamelled steel sheets

- Digester was opened for review after seven years of operation
- No corrosion effect noticeable after 7 years of operation.
No maintenance of the digester needed to be performed.
Roof construction for digesters
• The crown ring is fitted to the size of the agitator rotor blades
• Allows easy access and removal of the agitators with a filled digester
• Self-supporting construction can bear heavy loads from weather
and the mixer

Digester advantages summed up:
• Minimized heat loss
during biogas production thanks to the superior
design of vertically stirred digesters
• Reduced maintenance cost
because externally installed equipment such as heat exchangers
and agitator drives/gearboxes can easily be accessed
• Minimized power consumption
thanks to optimized agitator design and slow but continuous
drive speeds, parasitic energy consumption is reduced
• Prevention of floating layers and sediments
in our digesters tanks to optimized agitators and
continuous mixing
• Custom design
each digester is custom designed according to the requirements of
the biological process
