Electric energy consumption related to the energy production of BGP I+II and the produced electrical power per ton of substrate
sponsible for the highest electricity requirement. The measurements show an electricity consumption of 10.17kWh/t FM
for the entire system. The substrate pre-treatment unit consumed, with 32.6 t input at 7.29 kWh/t FM, a considerable
proportion of electric energy. Detailed observation showed
that the solid substrate feeding system with a conveyor component, a feeder unit and a feeding screw, used to supply the
pre-treatment unit, has a very low electricity requirement of
0.72 kWh/t FM. The pump system contributed to the electricity consumption of the feeding machinery unit with a usage of
2.16 kWh/t FM. The electricity requirement for the agitator
system at BGP II (566kWh) is twice as much as at BGP II (202
kWh). The higher consumption can be explained by the larger
container volumes of BGP I, but also by the higher number of
installed agitators.
Regarding the agitation systems, measurements show the
incline shaft agitators at both biogas plants required the least
electricity. The central and submersible agitators, in comparison, have higher electricity requirements. The incline shaft
agitators consume on average 6.3 kWh/100 m3 digester volume per day. The central agitator system in BGP I consumes
14kWh/100 m3 digester volume per day. All incline shaft agitators are controlled via frequency converters, resulting in low
propeller speed, causing less electrical energy consumption.
The electricity requirement of the CHP units, at 230 kWh d
with the BGP I and 176 kWh d with BGP II, represent in each
case 1 % of the produced electrical energy. The ORC process
at BGP I enables year-round heat utilisation and contributes
to an 8 % higher total plant efficiency. In order to power this
aggregate, 210 kWh/d of electrical energy must be used. The
high cooling requirement for the ORC process is the reason for
Conclusions
The study demonstrates that every biogas plant is different in
its respective details and that, depending on plant design, units
differ in their electrical energy consumption. Identical components from specific manufacturers showed variations in consumption at the tested BGPs.
The agitator equipment at BGP I and the feeding system
at BGP II are the main drivers of electricity consumption. The
electricity consumption is a relevant factor in BGP efficiency;
although this must always be seen within the plant-individual
concept.
