Putzmeister Piston Pumps Convey Biomass - Putzmeister Solid Pumps GmbH

Handling 20 Years of Experience in Biomass

With increasing energy demand and rising energy costs, the production of methane gas through biomass processing is becoming ever more important, especially through odourtight pipelines. Meanwhile, in cooperation with process engineering partners, the issue of foreign bodies which are disturbing tremendously the process, has been resolved. In addition, besides the different processes for biomass treatment, Putzmeister is specialised in pumping hazardous waste, substitute fuels and sewage sludges.

The core of the Putzmeister plant engineering are robust pump systems with well-proven low life cycle costs. For instance, there are EKO singlepiston pumps that have been in constant operation for more than 60.000 hours. KOS double-piston pumps have also been documented to operate more than 160.000 hours without any significant incident.

Depending on the installations, Putzmeister’s scope of supply includes further different components for the processing and conveyance of organic waste material, such as food remains, and expired foods, animal carcasses and renewable raw materials (silage, straw and green waste).

For instance, a mixing device with one or two screws used to homogenize the material that has to be conveyed. Or metering devices that Putzmeister have developed for feeding the biomass in the fermentation tank.
