Agricultural and food processing waste as a valuable mix with energy crops

Agraferm built this biogas plant for a Czech Republic energy company in Číčov, in the Plzeň region of the Czech Republic.

The AD plant, which consists of a digester, a post or secondary digester with a liquid digestate storage tank, uses pig slurry and brewers spent grain, together with grass and maize silage.

Agraferm was the general contractor for the plant and delivered on a turnkey basis.

As all Agraferm AD plants this plant is also characterised by its optimum output relative to the space the AD plant takes up. This is made possible by the high dry matter organic loading rate of the AD plant and at the same time high degradation of the feedstock used.
