Abstract
Biogas technologies which are based on anaerobic fermentation, have to face several problems today. The general opinion of research institutes is that primary utilization of biogas plants would be a reasonable waste management and the energy produced should be seen as a secondary benefit. However, with targeted research and development a significant increase can be achieved in gas yield due to pretreatment technologies and process optimizations, i.e. biogas technologies have still too many reserves. In this paper, two pieces of mechanical equipment will be discussed, which are suitable for certain lignocellulose substrate pretreatment before anaerobic fermentation. As the effect of pretreatment the carbon/nitrogen ratio of the fermenter and the quantity of the biogas produced during the same time can be increased and also an improvement can be achieved in the context of problems arising from floating substrate.
