vergistingsinstallaties
Vergistingsinstallaties, also known as anaerobic digestion plants, are facilities designed to convert organic waste materials into biogas and digestate. This process occurs in the absence of oxygen, where microorganisms break down complex organic matter. The primary components of a typical vergistingsinstallatie include a digester vessel, feedstock intake systems, and biogas collection and processing units. Feedstock, such as animal manure, food waste, and energy crops, is introduced into the sealed digester. Within the digester, a series of microbial reactions, including hydrolysis, acidogenesis, acetogenesis, and methanogenesis, transform the organic material.
The end product of this anaerobic digestion process is biogas, a mixture primarily composed of methane (CH4)
