Distillery Slop-Based Biogas Plant
Distillery slop is the main byproduct of the alcohol production process. It contains a large
number of proteins which characterizes it as a perfect energy source for biogas production.
A special feature of our biogas plants is that they are standardized. This reduces the design
therefore capital expenditures significantly. In order to do primary calculations of a distillery
slop-based biogas plant, you should know:
- type and moisture
- quantity.
content of distillery slop;
If it is difficult to determine the moisture content, you can use some statistical data:
There are the following types of distillery slop.
