Sugers and plant proteins on wet biomass are the essence in a bio-based low carbon economy and of a local plant protein production
Outstanding Technology
in the storage of wet biomass based on an additive approved in the processing of food and feed world wide for a high-quality home-grown feed for milk and meat as well as in a bio-based industrial perspective of the production of sugars and plant proteins.
Present-day efforts in the use of wet biomass is crippled by high costs due to the
dependency on a daily harvest limited to a few hours of a day at an immediate use of the bio mass in a short growing season..
This technology deals with the storage of wet biomass
Up to to-day, the storage of wet biomass or the juice fraction thereof can only be realized under anaerobic (airtight) conditions to prevent rot.
The problem under anaerobic conditions
Sugars are largely fermented into organic acids and ethanol at pH´s of 4,5 or less.
The protein complex is broken down into N-components.
Other associated effects of this ensiling process are fermentation losses of 15% or more and a solid biomass which has to be taken out daily with a tractor mounted with specific equipment.
Ensiled either in stack
Or in wrap
New with our technology
Instead of fermentation the preservation
of the sugar species – incl. Sucrose
of the protein-amino-acid complex
improvement of the digestibility
a year-around pumpable biomass mash or juice at a pH of choice
next to zero fermentation losses
maximum logistics and minimum energy use
The solution
is particularly adapted to a large-scale storage of the sugar beet crop (beet + protein rich leaves).
The biomass is mashed and stored anaerobically in a lagoon or circular container.
As a semi-fluid pumpable to live stock, a biogas plant or screw press for the extraction of juice.
