TECHNOLOGY AREAS OF APPLICATION

TECHNOLOGY AREAS OF APPLICATION

We exploit the potential of organic waste in our biogas technology division. We successfully plan, implement and manage waste management biogas projects both nationally and internationally. All our products are put through their paces in our own [Test]plant at our site in Bernau am Chiemsee. Our machines are designed for a long service life, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. In the case of Finsterwalder pump technology, for example, the areas of application go beyond biogas technology.

Raw materials

Food waste, residues from the food and animal feed industry, organic waste.

Complete system

Biogas production from waste: A success story for years.

Sub-processes

We also offer customized solutions for existing systems.

OUR PRODUCTS CAN BE USED IN A VARIETY OF WAYS

Our components are designed for processing biological waste and food waste, as well as agricultural residues with their different requirements. The residual materials listed here are examples and are not exhaustive.

Municipal waste

and residual materials e.g.

  • Organic waste, brown garbage can
  • Green cuttings and garden waste
  • Household waste
  • Sewage sludge...

Industrial waste

and residues from food and animal feed production e.g.

  • Milk processing
  • Beverage production
  • Pharmaceutical industry
  • Fruit residues and pulp...

Gastronomy

Food waste from commercial kitchens such as canteens, hospitals,...

Wholesale markets

  • Fruit and vegetable scraps (including citrus fruit)
  • Discarded or unsold goods
  • Food with an expired use-by date
  • Complete wheel rims (transport damage, interrupted cold chain, etc.)

Waste from animal husbandry
