Cooperation with practice and science

Experiments are important in order to gain new knowledge and then make appropriate decisions in product development. That's why we work very closely with scientific and practical partners, such as local companies and institutes.

Below you will find a selection of tests that we have successfully carried out over the last 15 years:

Jahr	Institut	Investigation	Result/Note
2004	FIS Wageningen	In vitro fermentation in the rumen	Significantly less ammonia (10%) Higher proportion of volatile fatty acids (5%) Higher methane concentration
2006	Universität Hohenheim	HBT batch process	Increase mining speed by up to 30%
2007	EBA Zentrum, Fachhochschule Triesdorf	Practical trial (1 year)	Substrate savings in an already optimized system (5%)
2008	Fachhochschule Frankfurt	Acetic acid formation in acetogenic archaea	Significantly more acetic acid by influencing energy metabolism (10%)
2007- 2011	Practice facility	Efficiency analyzes according to KTBL and survey of the residual gas potential	40-45% over KTBL gas yields Increase in biogas yield to 240 Nm3/t FM corn Reduction of the oTS content to 3.8% of the FM
2010	BTN Nordhausen	Flow fermenter	Significantly higher biogas yield (22%) 6 g NH4-N/l OS
2012	Hochschule Weihenstephan/ Triesdorf	Discontinuous fermentation experiments	Significantly higher biogas production from whole plant silage under mesophilic conditions
2015	Practice facility	Data evaluations as part of the Biogas Efficiency Info 2015	Reduction of feed quantities by up to 25% Replacing corn with grass and manure Significantly better stirring ability
2017	Energiepark Hahnennest GmbH & Co. KG and Phytobiotics Futterzusatzstoffe GmbH	Fermentability of Danube silphia (Silphium perfoliatum) in flow fermenters	Significantly better gas yield (678 – 840 l/kg oTS) than stated by KTBL (480 l/kg oTS). Further increase achieved by SensoPower Hybrid. Very good degradability of the Danube silphie in the biogas process.
