The formation of biogas is a complex biological process involving many different microorganisms. The process only functions optimally if the specific microorganisms are sufficiently supplied with micronutrients. It is scientifically approved that methane producing bacteria require special micronutrients for gas production.

Biogas plants with a high renewable crop and low manure rate may show a lack of micronutrients so that the optimal gas production cannot be reached. The fermenter tends to acidification and the acetic acid to propionic acid ratio changes for the benefit of propionic acid. With increasing propionic acid the risk rises that the fermenter overturns and must be started again.

When to use  MiaMethan in the biogas plant?

• The biogas plant is a plant with renewable raw material
• The biogas plant gets no or only small amounts of manure (swine, cow, chicken) as substrate
• The plant does not reach the calculated gas yield
• The biological processes are instable
• The plant tends to acidification

What is the effect of MiaMethan?

MiaMethan is a mixture of different micronutrients ideally adjusted to the biogas production in the fermenter.

First results show:

• MiaMethan stabilises processes in the fermenter and increases biogas production.
• The acidification of the fermenter will be stopped.
• MiaMethan improves the acetic acid-propionic acid ratio.
