Abstract
AbstractA biogas plant is fed with agricultural substrates at an average organic loading rate of 6 kgVS per m3 fermenter volume per day and substrates with relatively high nitrogen content. This situation results in a below‐average methane yield, so the aim is to increase the substrate efficiency. An analysis of the actual condition of the plant was performed and compared with reference values. A dynamic simulation model of the biogas plant was created and adjusted with data over an operating year. The model adjustment provided a good approximation of the simulation results to the key operating variables and thus allows the evaluation of different operating variations. The effect of various measures was analyzed by simulation and it showed a potential increase in substrate efficiency of up to 15 %.
