Agitator technology for reliable mixing processes

Agitator technology for biogas plants

The right agitator technology for biogas plants ensures uniform mixing of the digester contents, prevents floating and settling layers and supports stable biological processes. We plan, supply, install and optimize agitator solutions for digesters, secondary digesters, digestate storage tanks and other areas of the plant. In doing so, we take into account tank geometry, substrate characteristics, dry matter content and the individual operating conditions of your plant.

Every biogas plant is individual. That is why we assess the overall plant situation before recommending an agitator solution

Submersible Agitator for example mixing provesses

Submersible agitators are among the most commonly used agitators in biogas plants. They can be positioned flexibly within the tank and provide high mixing performance for a wide range of substrates.

  • Flexible alignment of the mixing flow
  • High-performance mixing
  • Robust design
  • Easy retrofitting of existing plants

Suitable for

Tanks with membrane roofs

Tanks with concrete roofs

Paddle Agitators for Large Tanks and Special Geometries

Paddle agitators are frequently used when tank geometries or process conditions require a specific flow pattern. Their design allows them to efficiently cover even larger areas of the tank.

  • Targeted Airflow
  • Energy-efficient operation
  • High operational reliability
  • Durable design

Suitable for

Tanks with membrane roofs

Tanks with concrete roofs

Paddle agitators for challenging substrates

Paddle agitators are particularly well-suited for fiber-rich substrates or those that are difficult to mix. They operate at relatively low speeds and ensure uniform and gentle mixing.

  • Uniform Mixing
  • Rugged technology
  • Low stress from substrates
  • Reduced risk of clogging

Suitable for

Tanks with membrane roofs

Tanks with concrete roofs

Which agitation technology is suitable for my biogas plant?

The type of agitator technology suitable for your biogas plant depends on the tank size and geometry, the substrates used, and the requirements of the mixing process. Depending on the application, submersible motor agitators, rod agitators, or paddle agitators are used. We assess the conditions of your plant on a case-by-case basis and help you select the right mixing solution.

Submersible motorized mixers operate directly within the substrate and offer flexible application options. Rod mixers are particularly well-suited for larger tanks or tanks with specialized geometries and enable targeted mixing. Paddle mixers operate more slowly and cover a large area, ensuring uniform movement of the substrate. The appropriate design depends on the requirements of your biogas plant.

To select the right agitation solution, we primarily need information about the tank and the substrate being used. Important factors include, for example, the vessel size and geometry, fill level, substrate composition, and information about the existing agitation system. The more precise the information provided, the more accurately we can determine the appropriate technical solution.

An agitator should be inspected if mixing performance declines, malfunctions occur repeatedly, wear increases, or repairs are no longer cost-effective. Changes in substrates, new process conditions, or a modernization project may also necessitate replacement. An early inspection helps prevent unplanned downtime.

The right agitation technology ensures uniform mixing of the substrate and supports stable processes in the biogas plant. A solution tailored to the tank, substrate, and process conditions can reduce deposits and floating layers, improve plant reliability, and enable energy use that is tailored to actual needs.
