The modular stirred tank reactor (CSTR) from Awite, specially developed for biogas experiments.

Ideal for realistic laboratory simulation of continuous, anaerobic fermentation of organic substrate.

From innovative agitator technology (for solids contents of up to 18%) to automated phase monitoring and precise gas quality measurement.

From self-regulating tank heating to automatic standardisation of measured values and scale-up.
Everything can be adjusted in detail – either conveniently via laptop from your workstation (using special Awite software) or directly on the device using the intuitive graphical touchscreen.
This bioreactor was specially designed for scientists and process engineers to simulate practical fermentation processes on a laboratory and small pilot scale.

The Big Difference

One of the key differences to other stirred tank reactors (CSTR) is that our high-end gas analysis system AwiFLEX – one of Awite’s core competencies – is integrated into our laboratory fermenter, enabling more efficient simulation and a better understanding of the process based on the current gas composition (CH4, CO2, CO, O2, H2S, H2, N2).

In addition, the process can be monitored visually using the two large-format sight glasses – as well as digitally via the measured values of gas flow (including standard volume determination), process temperature, pH value and redox potential determined in the laboratory fermenter.

This data can be read out simultaneously to the external Awite software AwiCharts, where it can be presented in graphical and tabular form.

MASS FLOWMETER FOR BIOGAS - WET GAS COMPONENTRY

• determination of water content, standard flow and energy flow (if applicable)
• simple installation in pipe sizes (nominal widths) from DN 50 to DN 350
• cleaning and replacement of the sensor without loss of gas
• high resistance – even with humid gas containing hydrogen sulfide
• increase of the measuring accuracy through calibration with real gas
• compensation of fluctuating gas composition in conjunction with AwiFLEX & AwiECO
