A Full Check-Up is a comprehensive test designed to analyze the levels of critical trace elements within your feedstock. By identifying any imbalances, this initial stage test helps in determining potential remedies. Even a single imbalanced element can significantly hinder methane yield potential. Positive increases ranging from 20% to 400% in biogas production have been observed by optimizing the concentrations of various trace elements.

The process involves screening over 20 different trace elements, including:

• • Arsenic: Toxic to anaerobic organisms
  • Iron: Stimulates biogas production
  • Manganese: Activates enzymes
  • Cobalt and Nickel: Essential for the reproduction of Methanogenic organisms

The concentrations of these elements are assessed against predetermined optimal levels for production, determining whether they are deficient, prohibitive, or toxic to your digester. Additionally, interactions between elements are considered as they can vary based on their concentrations.

Upon completion of the study, you will receive a comprehensive report detailing:

• Current levels of tested elements and whether they are optimal, deficient, prohibitive, or toxic
• Impact analysis of corrective actions on anaerobic digestion for elements found deficient, prohibitive, or toxic
• Recommendations for corrective actions or further testing as necessary.

To initiate the process, reach out to our team via email or phone call. Our sales representative will discuss your unique needs and concerns to determine the extent of testing required. Once scheduled, you’ll receive detailed instructions on sampling and sending your feedstock for testing. The testing process typically takes less than two weeks. Following completion, we’ll schedule a call to review the results with you.
