Biogas

Skilled desulphurisation

One of NECATEC AG's core competencies is its ability to create innovative products enabling efficient desulphurisation. We are able to draw on our vast experience, combining it with our research and development work to create effective products. Our focus is on optimising operating costs and ensuring the secure operation of your biogas plant.

Fine desulphurisation during the gas phase

Whether the situation in question involves highly specialised activated carbon or iron pellets for fine desulphurisation purposes during the gas phase, reducing operating costs as much as possible by using the products in the best possible way is of key importance here. By providing advice tailored to your needs, we are able to determine the right product for your biogas plant.

Doped extruded activated carbon for the desulphurisation of biogas and technical gases

Iron pellets for the fine desulphurisation of biogas

A cost-effective alternative that also enables safe desulphurisation: NECA|feps® iron pellets for the effective removal of hydrogen sulphide from biogas.

  • Outstanding loading
  • Possible without oxygen
  • Easy to use in humid gas streams

Coarse desulphurisation during the liquid phase

The formation of hydrogen sulphide in your biogas plant’s fermenter can be reduced in an efficient manner by feeding in iron hydroxide. The material feed in the fermenter is low thanks to the high iron content. No additional sediment is formed thanks to the purity of the products.

Gas yield increase

The best gas yields in your biogas plant's fermenter are only achieved if the biology involved is working in a stable and reliable manner. In order to achieve this target in a secure and enduring manner, both trace elements and plant carbon can be used, in order to achieve the best possible yield.

Trace elements to increase gas yield

NECA|bacX® MethaMax and NECA|bacX® MethaMax pro are trace elements and micro-organisms developed in the laboratory in liquid form, which increase the methane yield in biogas plants.

  • Rectification of defect-based process disturbances
  • High biological availability
  • More stable and shorter phase for commissioning
  • Accelerated and more stable biogas process
  • Higher and better biogas yields

NECA|bacX® MethaMax / MethaMax pro

Plant carbon as a buffering agent, for structural bonding and for binding pollutants

NECA|bioC® is a high-quality, natural and pure plant carbon. Due to a surface activation by means of water vapour at approx. 920°C, the inner surface is 3-4 times higher than with ordinary wood or plant charcoal. Due to this large inner pore system, positive effects are achieved through a balancing and binding effect in various applications.

  • Plant cultivation and soil production: as a structure improver and buffer material.
  • Animal welfare: as feed additive and bedding
  • Biogas: as a buffering agent to increase methane yield and substrate quality
  • Slurry and manure additive: to bind nutrients and increase fertiliser effect
