Biogest is an international biogas plant manufacturer with two offices in

Austria and one each in the Czech Republic, Italy, Serbia and United
Kingdom. The biogas plants are installed in the well-established Biogest
PowerRing technology. PowerRing has advantages because of its unique
space-saving construction and specially designed stirring technique. The
low electricity consumption and heating energy demand, the high
reliability and availability makes the solid PowerRing technology a good
choice to produce biogas from agricultural products and other wastes
especially in the target markets. The core capabilities of Biogest range
from project development, planning and financing through to the turnkey
plant construction and technical and biological services. In addition to
plant engineering activities, the Own Plant Operations business builds and
operates facilities which are owned or part-owned by Biogest. To date,
more than 90 biogas plant projects have been realized worldwide.

BTA International GmbH is the leading specialist for the hydromechanical
pre-treatment of different kinds of waste and the subsequent anaerobic
digestion of the cleaned organic fraction according to the BTA Process for
the production of biogas.
The efficient removal of impurities upfront the digestion is the key for the
successful digestion of biowaste, food waste, commercial waste and the
organic fraction from municipal solid waste. BTA Hydromechanical Pretreatment characterizes itself by its substrate flexibility and its high
efficiency in the removal of impurities out of the organic suspension. This
allows for high operation reliability, minimizes the disposal costs of the
rejects, maximizes the biogas yield and ensures the highest quality of the
digestate and thus the final compost material.
