jbs progas power compact

Highly concentrated trace element powder for biogas plants

Biogas trace elements are now an essential component for sulfur binding and for ensuring stable digester biology. They play a key role, in particular, in methane production.
The general demand for trace elements in a biogas plant is usually known. Through simple analysis, the required supplementation can be estimated. However, one major difference between trace element blends is that prices cannot be objectively compared. Why is that? In most cases, the ingredients are not fully disclosed. We take a different approach. We clearly declare all ingredients and formulations in a transparent and comparable way.

progas power compact (powder, EDTA-chelated, TRGS-compliant)

progas compact provides a precisely balanced mixture of essential trace elements for use in biogas plants with a high share of maize silage. The main required elements are nickel, cobalt, and selenium.
Through highly concentrated EDTA complex binding of the individual trace elements, a safe and application-ready product is created. progas power compact is TRGS-compliant and can be dosed via the solid material intake directly into the digester in compostable 500 g bags. A dosing system is not required. The bags are space-savingly packed and delivered in cartons of 30 units.

Which trace elements are the right choice?

Ideally, an analysis of the digester is the best basis for deciding whether, which, and how many trace elements should be used. However, experience shows that in 90% of cases, the proven progas compact formulation matches the plant’s requirements and supplies the digester with the necessary trace elements.
It is also recommended to check the iron demand to avoid the formation of insoluble compounds between trace elements and sulfur. The additional use of iron hydroxide such as OXIRED BIO 50 is recommended to ensure trace element availability for the biogas process.
