In the village of Pipriac in France HoSt has built a farm scale biogas plant with a capacity of 8,300 ton per year and a large variety of input materials. The input is mainly based on the input of pig manure, fruit and vegetable waste and other agricultural waste by-products such as straw and grass.
This state-of-the-art digester exists of a digester in combination with an after-digester to reach the maximum conversion of ingoing material. The plant is provided with a 250 kWe CHP and a flue gas cooler that is able to recover a maximum amount of heat. The heat is used for greenhouses in the area.
The plant is also provided with an innovative screw press separator in order to treat the digestate. With the separator liquid material can be separated from solids.
