Biology testing provided invaluable insights that can significantly reduce risk and help optimize production and feeding rates in an AD. It can characterize the quality of solids being fed, reveal elemental deficiencies, screen for contamination, and asses H2S treatment efficiency.
Hi Natalia,
Biology testing is essential for maximizing methane production in digesters, and BMP (Biochemical Methane Potential) tests are the key. They show the maximum methane a substrate can produce and reveal any inhibitory effects, like phenols or lignin, that could slow digestion.
At GazEoL Renouvelable, our BMP Analysis software makes this process simple and actionable. It automatically handles replicates, calculates yields and production rates, and visualizes results with clear charts. Error bars show variability, helping you spot issues early. You can also export summaries for process control or historical tracking.
In short, combining BMP testing with this software turns lab data into practical insights—so you know which feedstocks perform best, avoid inhibition, and keep methane production at its peak.
Thanks
