Microbial Analyses for Biogas Digesters

Microorganisms are essential for biogas production: Some digest the substrate ingredients, others generate Methane.

With our analysis of the microbiology of the digester it is possible to optimize the microbial composition and thus enhance performance and robustness of biogas production.

More information about microorganisms in biogas digesters, and how microbial analysis and the C4S rule help to control biogas digesters may be found here.

Molecular Characterisation of Biogas Digesters

This service offers a screening analysis of Methanogens including their Shannon index and DNA concentration.

Detailed Molecular Characterisation of Biogas Digesters

This is an extension of the simple molecular characterisation. This service adds the bacteria to the picture.

Full Molecular Characterisation of Biogas Digesters

This service extends the detailed molecular characterisation with the so-called “ASG-Syntrophics”. These special bacteria are key players for the hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis.

Absolute Quantification of Syntrophic and Methanogenic Microorganisms

Measuring the DNA concentration for two groups of microorganisms, which play a major role in methane formation: the group of so-called “ASG-Syntrophics” and the methanogenic microorganisms. These markers indicate a malfunction before other indicators even give a hint.
