The German RITTER Biogas Batch Fermentation System is a biogas batch fermentation system that can simultaneously control up to 18 batch fermentation bottles.

In the field of biogas research, the RITTER MilliGascounter has become the core component of a system that enables the simultaneous examination of up to 18 fermentation bottles within a heating oven.

This RITTER Biogas Batch Fermentation System enables real-time data collection and automatic measurement.

The main advantage of the RITTER Biogas Batch Fermentation System is that all fermentation bottles are uniformly temperature-controlled within the heating oven.

Unlike when fermentation bottles are temperature-controlled in a water bath, there is no unexpected cooling of the bottle tops due to air or airflow. In addition, fermentation bottles can be easily removed from the top of the heating oven for visual inspection even while fermentation is in progress.

Application

Biogas Production Research: Analysis of gas production composition and BMP (Biochemical Methane Potential) evaluation of various substrates
Fermentation Process Optimization: Comparison of fermentation efficiency under different conditions such as temperature, pH, and pretreatment
Waste Resource Utilization Evaluation: Analysis of the energy conversion potential of waste resources and mixing effects
Microbial Research: Analysis of the correlation between microbial community changes and gas production
Verification of New Technologies and Additives: Testing the effects of enzymes, catalysts, and pretreatment technologies
Commercialization Verification: Securing data for plant design, policy certification, and economic analysis

Advantages

Multiple Parallel Testing: Easy comparison of conditions and data acquisition with simultaneous operation of up to 18 fermenters
Precision Gas Measurement: Accuracy within ±1% through MilliGascounter and FermAlyzer
Real-Time Monitoring: Real-time recording and analysis of CH₄ and CO₂ concentrations and production volumes
Flexible Substrate Application: Enables testing of various organic waste, feed, and residues
Modular Scalability: Analysis equipment, sensors, and software can be expanded as needed
Verified Quality: Individual calibration in accordance with German PTB standards and stability assurance
