Slurry tanks in biogas plants

Point LevelPressure
Slurry tanks in biogas plants

Overview

Semi-liquid manure, or slurry, in biogas plants is often stored in closed, large-volume slurry tanks. Through fermentation, a valuable energy carrier is extracted from the mixture of organic waste and renewable raw materials. Level and pressure are monitored in the tank, as well as in the delivery and removal systems handling the raw materials and waste.

Operating Conditions

Measuring Range
-1 ... 100 bar
Temperature
-40 ... 150 °C
Pressure
-1 ... 64 bar

Challenges

  • Changing media with varying properties, build up

Benefits

  • Reliable: Reliable operation of the fermenter through overflow protection
  • Cost effective: Universally applicable and modular sensors across the biogas plant, thus very cost-effective spare parts stocking
  • User friendly: Maintenance-free operation using build up-insensitive technologies

Inventory System

VEGA Inventory System (VIS) is a web-based software for real-time data acquisition, visualization, and logistics management of inventory levels in storage tanks and silos. Companies can manage their inventories proactively, ensuring greater flexibility in delivery schedules, expanding optimization options, and reducing stock discrepancies. Precise, real-time visualization of stocks allows deviations to be quickly identified, minimizing financial impact. The system combines reliable VEGA measurement technology for liquids and bulk solids with secure cloud-based or on-premises software, providing the basis for intelligent and strategic decisions for optimal inventory management. VIS supports both internal inventory monitoring and Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) applications, where suppliers manage customer stock replenishment using real-time level data.

  • Real-time inventory monitoring across all connected storage locations via web browser or mobile app
  • Four visualization modes — Chart, Graphic, Map, and Trend — for comprehensive stock visibility
  • Color-coded traffic light status system (green/yellow/red) for instant stock level assessment
