Seminar Details
Introducing CES and Citadel Biocat+
Citadel Biocat+ can transform the performance of anaerobic digestion plants, increasing biogas production whilst improving stability and reducing both cycle time and odours. In other applications in agriculture and horticulture, augmentation of irrigation, fertigation and feed water delivers significant increases in plant and livestock yields. The range of products also includes applications for the removal of complex hydrocarbons in effluents including coke oven sludge, waste water and lagoons at food processing plants.
Citadel BioCat+ is a bioactive solution produced by the process of fermentation of natural plant material including marine organisms developed from years of experimentation and field trials. The compact, unique generation and dispense plant is simple and low maintenance.
Field trial biogas volume increase of 30% at Kompogas thermophilic digester in Switzerland
The Germanier SA plant in Lavigny, Switzerland was regarded as one of the best performing among anaerobic digestion plants run by Kompogas. Six months since the introduction of Citadel Biocat+ has shown:
>biogas output increased by 30% from 5545m3/day to 7201m3/day.
>annual load increased from 12000 to 18000 tonnes, increasing potential gate fees
>organic content of waste liquid reduced by 70%
The results of the field trial clearly demonstrate the effect of Citadel Biocat+ on enhancing the performance of indiginous micro-organisms by elevating their metabolic performance.
A summary of the benefits achieved is:
-Biogas output up 30%
-Annual load potential increased by 50%
-Organic content of residual liquid reduced by 70%
-Greater stability achieved by reduction in daily variations of gas output
-Reduced odours
