A100 contains enzymes which degrade pectins, beta-glucans, pentosanes, hemicellulose, and cellulose. In nature, these are comprised among others from microorganisms that degrade a plant’s cell wall. In the process of anaerobic digestion, A100 boosts the degradation of long-chain and water retaining polysaccharides into short-chain and water-soluble saccharides to optimize the flowability of the fermentor content.

Cost benefits of higher flowability of fermentor content:
• Better agitation (reduced floating layer)
• Less technical problems with stirring unit and pumps
• Less domestic energy consumption
• Improved utilization of the substrate and biogas yield

Use of A100 enables more flexibility in substrate management:
• Replacement of maize silage by WCCS without reducing the methane yield
• Cultivation of WCCS on maize-inappropriate sites
• Balance out the crop rotation
• Equalization of peak workload

These enzymes enable dissolution of the floating layers and reduce substrate viscosity in biogas reactors. They are used only periodically, for example, when maize is harvested late and contains a high fiber content.
