Goal.

Sandcatch Solution has develop a (mobile) sand removal unit that can be used on biogas reactors without reducing capacity and biogas production. This will increase the utilization of energy in organic waste, as well as the reuse of sludge products in agriculture. Furthermore, it will result in lower general operating and maintenance costs in biogas plants.

Overall, the project will contribute to increased gas production and profitability in biogas plants, and lower total environmental emissions from organic waste in society.

Background.

The production of biogas provides major environmental benefits in the form of reduced emissions and reuse of energy in organic waste. However, operators of biogas plants experience that sand accumulates in the reactors and reduces capacity and production. At regular intervals, the biogas tanks must be shut down and emptied of sand. This is both expensive and time-consuming
