We provide solutions to boost and stabilize biogas production in anaerobic digesters of all types (CSTR - PFR Plug Flow Reactors - Covered Lagoons). Our ADDITIVES are designed to supplement reactor biology with all the micronutrients needed to increase biogas production and anaerobic system stability. BIOIMPEC´s micronutrient blends are 100% bioavailable (chelated which prevents precipitation) to enhance anaerobic digester biology. Available in liquid and powder form. increase and stabilize biogas production in anaerobic systems.
Our Trace Element aditives are designed to supplement the reactor biology with all the micronutrients necessary for increased biogas production and system stability.
We have the capacity to formulate customized products for each particular digester and anaerobic system.
Our micronutrient formulations are chelated, i.e. 100% bioavailable to microorganisms. Increased system stability and resilience. Increased methane production.

ESSENTIAL IMPORTANCE OF TRACE ELEMENTS IN BIOGAS – Methane Plus additive
Micronutrients (also know as trace elements or trace metals) are essential for maintaining stable microbial populations and for efficient enzymatic activities throughout the four stages (hydrolysis, acidogenesis, acetogenesis, and methanogenesis) of ANAEROBIC DIGESTION. Certain trace elements, such as iron and selenium are also useful in combating the toxic effects from H2S, volatile fatty acids (VFAs), and ammonia. Trace elements can also help in increasing the organic loading by increasing the overall kinetics of anaerobic digestion.
Each element has its role in microbial metabolism during anaerobic digestion and limitation of even a single element can cause process imbalances and decreases in process efficiency. Trace elements limitations can be mostly seen by VFAs accumulation and reduced biogas production.
Lack of trace elements usually occurs in mono-digestion, but can also occur in digesters processing multiple feedstocks (co-digestion). Testing for trace-elements in the feedstock and the digester can indicate which elements are lacking and can allow for a strategy where supplementing with these limited trace elements will improve the process stability and efficiency.
Bioavailability is a key parameter to consider while designing the mix of trace elements. They should be soluble and should not form precipitates such as sulphides and carbonates. Also, the amount of chlorides and sulphates added to the digester in the form of trace element salts should be controlled carefully.
Methane Plus and MethaneMaxx are carefully blended liquid trace element additives for biogas production which uses any kind of feedstock (manure, dairy residues, food waste, crop waste and others).
