Process Benefits of the AD-Booster Technology Besides the Extra Biogas

AD-Boosted Fibers will not form problematic floating layers after they have been through the AD-Booster process.
The fibers have a more amorphous and soft structure allowing water content to increase and reduces the energy needed to fully mix the reactor producing the biogas.
The concentration of fibers can be significantly increased in the biogas reactors when the fibers have been through the AD-Booster process, thus enabling a significant increase in volumetric productivity of the biogas plant lowering the capital cost of biogas plants.
Overall reduction of operational costs associated with a high concentration of fibers throughout the biogas plant such as cost for mixing.
With an AD-Booster, fibers from manure, straw, and grass can substitute the need for energy crops and organic additives to increase biogas production used today.

Lowering the overall energy consumption associated with fiber handling throughout the Biogas plant.
Enables the production of biogas to be 100% based on agricultural waste materials.
Higher volumetric productivity, giving a better utilization of installed production capacity and lowering of the capital cost of biogas plants.
Enables fractionation of phosphor between different effluent streams, thus enables better fertilizer management for the farmer.
Recover parts of the nitrogen in the raw material as ammonium sulfate, which can be used for designing specific fertilizer fractions or marketed separately.
Excess energy from the AD-Booster provides heat for the biogas process, thus reducing or elimination the need for adding process energy to operate the plants.
