Description

In the framework of the collaborative project an innovative biogas production technique (AG-HiPreFer) will be developed. This new technique allows biogas production at high pressure and thus the direct injection in the natural gas grid. The main objective of the AG-HiPreFer project is to drive the high pressure biogas production technology towards a marketable product.

Main tasks of the DVGW-research center at the Chair for Water Chemistry and Water Technology include:

  1. Application of a new method for solid-liquid-separation through membrane filtration after the hydrolysis reactor.
  2. Supporting the development process of the high pressure methane reactor.
