Address ammonia NH3 toxicity in biogas plants
NH3END aims to develop an innovative and effective integrated technology, improving the competitiveness of biogas plants in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way.
Bioaugmentation as a solution for solving ammonia toxicity in Biogas Plants.
Benefits for the participating companies
Methology of implementation of the project
Detailed information about the project
Acetic acid & methane
CH4 is produced by two metabolic pathways during the methanogenic stage.
Acetoclastic methanogenesis
Hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis
Where acetic acid is converted to methane CH4 and carbon dioxide CO2.
Where CH4 is produced by hydrogenotrophic microorganisms that consume H2 and CO2.
Economic and commercial exploitation of results
Completing the business plan of the NH3end project gives the kick-off for the following steps:
Q-METHANE
A spin off company is established with QLAB and AUTh as main shareholders and for the purpose of commercial utilization of the capital developed.
EXTENDED ACTIVITY
Q-methane will promote its product to all interested parties (such as biogas plant units, investors, etc.). Furthermore, its activity will expand to Cyprus and the Balkan countries.
FRIENDLY PHILOSOPHY
An on-site study of the characteristics of the unit, the power supply and the other parameters it will give a report which will detail the financial benefit that the unit will have with the use of its services on an annual basis.
