Stabilization of the pH value in this range is predominantly (> 85 %) is achieved by the large quantities of bicarbonate (= buffer substance) released during anaerobic decomposition. Process disturbances regularly lead to increased concentrations of free fatty acids (FFA) or to decreasing bicarbonate contents, as the acids consume bicarbonate. However, the buffering effect of the bicarbonate means that the pH value is hardly reduced at first. Only if the disturbance lasts for a long time and the supply of bicarbonate is largely exhausted does a rapid drop in the pH value occur and subsequently a reduction or, in extreme cases, a failure of biogas production. Advantages of process control with the bicarbonate analyzer Fully automatic monitoring of the bicarbonate content with the Bicarbonate Analyzer Process Monitor allows process faults to be detected much earlier than with pH monitoring alone. There is more time to avert economic losses. The high data density of the automatic measurement enables a close temporal assignment to changed operating conditions. This makes it much easier to identify the causes of process faults, which is often difficult. The automated measurement enables the biology to be monitored remotely and independently of people. BA42 measurement technology therefore increases the overall availability of biogas plants and thus their economic success.

Sediment separator Functional principle In the FINSTERWALDER sediment separator, the fermentation sludge-sediment mixture discharged by the soil scraper (more information can be found here) is temporarily stored. Heavy substances have time to sediment there. The sediment-free supernatant is decanted from the separator back into the fermenter. The separator can hold up to 4 m³ of sediment before it is emptied with a screw discharge. Technical data Maximum sediment content: 4.0 m³ Container dimensions (L x W x H): 5.7 m x 1.5 m x 3.6 m All wetted parts are made of stainless steel Gear motor power: 5.5 kW Unladen weight: approx. 3,200 kg

Patented FINSTERWALDER floor cleaning system - Reliable clearing of containers during operation After processing, many organic wastes still contain substances that settle in the digester (e.g. stones, sand, bone fragments, pieces of glass, eggshells, etc.). In order for digesters to fulfill their function in the long term, these sediments must be removed regularly. The soil cleaning system is used to continuously remove sediment from the fermenter. The system consists of the patented mechanical soil scraper, the sediment discharge pump and the sediment separator . This system avoids the otherwise regularly required and costly cleaning out of the digester (= interruption of operation). Functional principle of the floor scraper Thanks to the patented geometry of the scraper arms, sediments are transported from the digester floor to a discharge opening that is embedded in the digester floor. From there, the sediment discharge pump extracts the sediment and conveys it to the sediment separator. Technical data floor scraper Installation of the drive on the tank top (RM13, digester with reinforced concrete top) or on the tank bottom (RM10, steel tank) Retrofitting possible for containers without center column Driven by slow-running planetary or cycloidal gears Suitable for digesters without center column up to 17 m diameter and 20 m height Gas-tight shaft feed-through via water cup up to 20 mbar Suitable for operation in Ex zone 2 Connected load: 0.55 kW, 50 Hz

The little powerhouse - the KP10 piston pump The KP10 piston pump is designed for the toughest and most wear-intensive applications. It is used when hot slurries or highly abrasive materials such as sand, stones, glass and metal splinters need to be pumped. The pumping process takes place by alternately opening the valves. As the hydraulically driven delivery cylinder moves forwards and backwards, the substrate is sucked into the pump through the inlet valve and pushed out through the outlet valve. This small powerhouse is ideal for sludges produced during the recovery and recycling of organic materials after pre-treatment, e.g. separated organic materials as well as biosolids and various other substrates and sludges. In addition to the pump, the scope of delivery includes a hydraulic unit and a control cabinet. The piston pump KP10 is available in the version as: Non-return valve pump Closed system Variable slurries Ball passage up to 40 mm and as Slide valve pump Diffuser up to 80 mm Hydraulically driven gate valves DN100 PN10/16 Web visualization Like every other machine from Finsterwalder Umwelttechnik, the small KP10 gate valve pump has a touch panel on the control cabinet and web visualization. The machine can be easily controlled and settings can be made via the web HMI using any internet-enabled device. This interface can also be used to monitor the pumping process, ensuring process reliability. Technical data piston pump KP10 Connection on the suction side: DN100 Connection on the discharge side: DN100 Flow rate: 5.2 m³/h Fluid/semifluid material, typical dry matter content 7-25% Delivery pressure: 8 bar Power requirement 5.5 kWel Substrate temperature: 95 °C Dimensions (LXW) 2,100 x 610 mm Special feature: completely sealed housing of the non-return valve Hydraulic power unit 70 l oil tank made of aluminum and stainless steel Including temperature and level sensor Accumulator for smooth-running pistons Economic efficiency Low wear part costs Low operating costs Also conveys large particles Virtually no downtime and high availability Our pumps are used in the process areas of treatment and hygienization . They can also be used flexibly in other areas of application.

The robust way to pump Finsterwalder hydraulically operated KV20 ball valve pumps, suitable for all types of free-flowing and largely homogeneous slurries, are extremely low-wear and insensitive to abrasion. Various drive modules are available, which are selected according to customer specifications. The low-wear alternative Ball valve pumps are characterized by a very simple design and are therefore less susceptible to faults. This applies in particular to media containing sand, as ball valve pumps do not contain any rotating parts. The KV20 is hydraulically driven and available with one or two ball valves, depending on the required flow rate. Main features of the KV20 ball valve pump No rotating parts, i.e. an extremely robust and low-wear pump that is resistant to hard particles such as metal, bone and glass Max. Particle size up to 20 mm Delivery rate up to 35 m3/h Pressures up to 40 bar Options Single ball valve - High pressure option Slower, even pumping processes, e.g. for feeding the FINSTERWALDER double-tube heat exchanger Double ball valve - High flow rate at medium pressure Fast, large-volume pumping for applications such as feeding fermenters or loading pre-treated food waste sludge into trucks. Web visualization Like every other machine from Finsterwalder Umwelttechnik, the KV20 ball valve pump has a touch panel on the control cabinet and a web visualization. The machine can be easily controlled and settings can be made via the web HMI using any internet-enabled device. The process can also be monitored via this interface, which ensures process reliability.
