Biogas production

Buffer container for pretreated bio-waste

Bio-waste is produced in private households, commercial enterprises and in the food processing industry. The delivered bio-waste is chopped up in a shredder and mechanically sorted into digestables and solid, non-decomposable components. The digestates are fed into the multistage digestion process via the buffer container. To prevent overfilling in the buffer containers, a very reliable backup detection is required here.

Backup detection with VEGACAP 66

The digestates reach the buffer container via screw or belt conveyors. A fully insulated, capacitive cable measuring probe, VEGACAP 66, reports a possible backup and thus prevents an overfilling of the buffer container.

Depending on the temperature generated by the process, steam may form in the buffer container. VEGACAP 66 is not affected by this and continues to operate reliably.
