Result description
A fully automated biological methanation plant was built, which includes a number of features (full automation, improved heat exchange system, improved feeding strategy, high mixing energy) leading to an improved technology outcome. The plant is located in Solothurn (Switzerland) in the premises of Regio Energie Solothurn, which is the main project partner of Electrochaea for the erection and operation of the site. The developed plant is able to operate unattended and with flexible operational modes and, is the basis for commercial plants and scale-up. The biocatalyst has proven to be extremely robust and the product gas can be injected into most European gas grids directly.
