| farmatic bio-power plants are
highly-efficient, industrial wet-fermentation facilities. Due to support
programs and the income received for electricity, regenerative energy gained
from manure and other organic waste is a highly profitable business. farmatic's operator concept is a unique, one-stop solution covering every aspect of the bio-power plant's operations. Joint operating companies, consisting of local communities, farmers and farmatic, guarantee a high degree of process security and cost efficiency. |
| Some digesters of organic waste from municipalities and
industry also use slurry from livestock operations. These are called co-digestion plants. farmatic is experienced in both types of operation. Biogas plants can be designed for one or two-step processing and with or without pre-hydrolysis. The one-step concept has increased economic feasibility due to the smaller investment cost. Fermentation can be accomplished in the mesophilic range with a reactor temperature of 100 F, or thermophilic at 132 F. Depending upon the local requirements and the type of feedstock to be digested the process is selected for optimum results. |
