ALGEAZYM Homogen - When technology reaches its limits.
The climatic conditions of recent years are reflected in the quality of the harvested crop. Drought stress is a common issue in the cultivation of energy crops and renewable raw materials. High dry matter content and fiber content make efficient and continuous plant operation difficult and put a strain on technology. Floating or layered substrate must be stirred by external agitators and restricts the activity of microorganisms. This results in increased power consumption and a reduced gas yield due to reduced degradation.
To make the substrate accessible to microorganisms again and to reduce the viscosity in the long term, stratification, clumping and phase separation must be solved and avoided. ALGEAZYM Homogen can homogenize the fermenter contents again and make them more flowable. Due to its high proportion of alginates, it forms a 3D structure on which fiber-rich substrate is arranged so that it is evenly distributed and does not segregate again after stirring. In addition, the messenger substances contained in the algae activate cell growth and enzyme production for improved substrate degradation.
Most important facts:
- dissolves and prevents stratification, phase separation and clumping
- ensures homogeneous fermenter content
- increases substrate degradation by enzymes
- stimulates the fermenter biology through messenger substances from the algae
- reduces power consumption and wear on the agitator technology
- improves gas yields
