Informations about Microorganisms in Biogas Digesters

Here you will find technical informations and procedures as the “C4S Rule” or remarks for sample collection and shipment of biogas samples.

If you have further questions please get in contact.

Technical Background: Microorganisms in Biogas Digesters

Granted: Biogas is the result of a chemical process, but these chemical reactions are catalysed by microorganisms.

Analyses of Microorganisms in Biogas Digesters

An optimal gas yield from the fed substrate requires an optimal composition of the microorganisms. These may be different in any biogas digester. It is important to know this microbial state in order to compare it with measured deviations.

The 'C4S Rule'

This is a procedure to achieve a post-error analysis with a minimum of effort and costs.
