                                                  …PlanET BIGMix is the ideal insertion technique for you! PlanET BIGMix ensures easy and energy-saving transport of sticky and long-fibre substrates such as manure or finely ground solids. The moving floor technology consists of 12 stainless steel push bars, individually driven by a hydraulic system, which transport the material to the mixing and dosing area where the substrate is decompressed, crushed and mixed by means of a vertical stainless steel mixing screw installed at the front. The substrate is fed into the fermentation pit by means of a feed screw system, which is available in several variants and can also be combined with the introduction of liquid materials.

                                                  The control cabinet for the electric motors, the mixing screw and the ultrasonic sensors are included in the basic model. PlanET BIGMix is the right product when the material is to be mixed directly in the storage and dosing system.

                                                      • Advantages of PlanET BIGMix:

                                                        • Moving floor technique minimizes the formation of substrate agglomerates, a slope prevents undesired adhesion of the materials before the dosing zone
                                                        • Treatment of difficult materials such as e.g. 75% grass silage with fibre lengths

                                                    Our PlanET PreMIX system is a high-performance insertion technique that combines several important steps in the feeding process into one system. Pumpable co-ferments, such as e.g. food leftovers in the form of slurry, slurry or large volumes of dry substrates such as straw or energy plants, are reliably processed and fed into the fermentation process. The advantage of our compact and energy-saving module is that it combines the following steps of the feeding process into one system:
                                                    • Automatic dosing and insertion of liquid and solid substrates
                                                    • Removal of foreign bodies before the pump unit
                                                    • Mixture of liquid and solid phase to form a homogeneous suspension free of disturbing elements and foreign bodies
                                                    • Grinding and decomposition of long-fibre substrates
                                                    • Transport of the prepared substrate to as many fermenters as desired by means of a high-performance pump (possibility of later expansion of the plant capacity)

                                                    PlanET PreMIX is the ideal solution for installations that use very heterogeneous substrates or for installation projects where a change of substrates and/or an expansion of capacity to accommodate new substrates is planned. It can be integrated as a compact element into existing systems.

                                                            The biogas collector is the central element in the demand-responsive production of electricity. The flexible production of electricity with one or more combined heat and power modules requires in particular variable volume flows despite constant biogas production. For this reason it is necessary to use gas collectors with variable storage levels in order to participate in the electricity balancing market. PlanET offers operators two modern technical solutions: PlanET Flexstore XL or PlanET FlexStore XXL. These double membrane collectors cover your fermenter or fermentation tank hermetically and in compliance with the strictest safety standards. For existing installations that do not plan any increase in slurry storage, PlanET offers the PlanET eco® gasakku collector. This gas collector installed on the ground floor ensures a gas valorisation oriented towards financial gains thanks to an additional storage volume.

                                                            The PlanET Flexstore biogas collector has one of the largest storage volumes on the market. The special shape of the dome has been designed to increase volumes but also to fit perfectly into the landscape. Its shape is not the only advantage: the membrane material is designed to be weatherproof and reliable against odour emissions thanks to a new innovative sealing system, which is also easy to maintain.

                                                                • The advantages:

It combines different properties for optimal operation of the biogas plant and is the result of the further development of the desulfurization fleece cover PlanET eco® cover or PlanET eco® cover plus.

                                                                    The basic principle of the PlanET eco® cover roof construction remains intact, but the structure of the plastic mesh fabric has been expanded. In this way, liquids or foam can more easily penetrate through the fabric.

                                                                    Thanks to its structure, it is also possible to spray liquid nutrients during the start-up phase or repeatedly during desulfurization.

                                                                In addition to the power-heat cogeneration module and the biomethane treatment, each installation must have an additional gas combustion device. PlanET offers manual and automatic flares in different sizes. The proven industrial quality automatic flares operate with their own compressor to ensure safe and constant combustion in case of bad weather conditions. An optionally available protective enclosure protects against frost in winter and ensures that the torch is always functional. In the event of a power failure, an emergency generator can also be connected via an EEC socket.
                                                                More economical emergency flares are available as standard as a manual version, but the shut-off valve must be opened manually.
                                                                In the manual version, to start the torch, the operator must light the flame with a propane cylinder. This also allows the torch to operate in the event of a power failure. The manual flare can be automated. Automatic flares can be ignited from an external signal from the gas tank fill level or from a pressure switch in the gas system.
