In most of the biogas plants liquid substrates are being used or solid substrates are liquefied.
For this reason pumps are of major importance. The range of pumping tasks varies a lot. The charging of separators and heat exchangers only needs low performance. Concerning tank truck loading, however, biogas plant operators are demanding for an extremely high performance.
At times, gas-emitting liquids have to be pumped. Another challenge for the applicable technology is the extremely acidic seepage liquor from clamp silos.
Here are some basic recommendations, but this information cannot replace expert professional advice.
