Tailor-made additives for your digester

At BIOGEA we take conventional additives further through biotechnological disruption. We develop tailor-made additives, with capabilities adapted to each client's needs.

Next-generation enzyme additives

We master the biology of the digester to anticipate its imbalances. Our high-efficiency enzyme additives accelerate hydrolysis and boost your digester's microbiota, ensuring a stable, continuous process with greater energy conversion of your substrates.

  1. Maximise energy yield

    Unlock the full potential of your substrates and raise biomethane output per tonne.

  2. Speed up digester start-up and stabilisation

    Cut the months of waiting before your digester reaches optimal performance.

  3. Make the process biology visible

    Monitor and understand the state of the microbiota in real time to anticipate any imbalance.

Tailor-made additives: why BIOGEA?

Our additives are not generic: they are designed, tested and validated specifically for your plant.

How we develop your additive

Each product is designed for a specific digester, and it never reaches your plant without first being tested in ours.

  1. 01

    Diagnosis

    We characterise your digester's microbiota and the methane potential of your substrates.

  2. 02

    Lab design

    We formulate the additive for your digester's profile and your substrates and co-substrates.

  3. 03

    Validation in METHABRIDGE

    We test it in our 50 to 1,000 L pilot digesters, operated semi-continuously.

  4. 04

    Supply and adjustment

    Regular supply, continuously adjusted if operating conditions change.

  5. 05

    Monitoring

    Biological monitoring and predictive AI to anticipate imbalances.

+10%

cumulative biomethane

Enzyme additive designed for lignocellulosic biomass

The challenge
Increase biomethane production from an agricultural by-product that is hard to digest.
The BIOGEA solution
Design of a tailor-made additive that increases cumulative biomethane by more than 10%.
METHABRIDGE pilot plant: anaerobic digesters from 50 to 1,000 litres with their instrumentation.
The METHABRIDGE pilot plant, where every additive is validated before it reaches a plant.

All in a single service

Alongside the additive, we put at your disposal the capabilities that make it possible.

  • BMP tests

    Measuring the biochemical methane potential of your substrates and co-substrates.

  • Molecular identification

    DNA sequencing to find out which microorganisms are at work in your digester.

  • Bioaugmentation

    Reinforcing the digester's microbiota when the process needs it.

  • Industrial validation

    Pilot-scale tests in METHABRIDGE before each solution is implemented.

  • Funding advice

    Guidance to identify funding routes for your project.
