Biomass

Renewable energy (NaWaRo) at the


Jger & Walz Plant; Bruchsal/Germany
The renewable material has a particle
size of approx. max. 50 mm. This is
sufficient surface for the next
treatment step of Methanisation

A transportation belt is moving the


NaWaRo to the dosing device. This
dosing device is putting the Biomass
into the pump feeding screw.
Together with manure in the ratio of
1:1 the material is going into the
piston pump. The piston pump is
pumping the mixture to a thermopressure Hydrolyse for reducing of
the retention time of the biomass to
produce Methane Gas.

Conclusion I
Benefit of using Piston Pumps to feed Biomass into the fermentation for
energy production

All different kinds of material with a certain organic content could be


prepared and pumped. The material can be liquid as well as bulky

With a piston pump it is possible to adjust the flow of material into the
fermenter to have always the correct feed for the digesting process

Pipe line are hermetically closed and have no environmental impact of


smell or leakage

Conclusion II
Benefit of using Piston Pumps to feed Biomass into the fermentation for
energy production

With the a single cylinder piston pump or a double cylinder piston pump
it is possible to pump also material with a very percentage of dry solid
and also containing large particles

With the special single cylinder piston pump it is possible to separate


inorganic foreign particles from the material and guarantee a trouble
free production of Methane gas in the fermenter

Due to the heavy duty design and the long experience with the
PUTZMEISTER equipment it is possible to operate the Bio
Methanisation Process and the production of Energy at 24 h/d for years
