UltraSweep – simply solves problems!
In order to operate biogas plants economically, substrates are increasingly being used that are selected on the basis of cost reduction, sustainability and long-term availability.
These include, for example, material from landscape conservation, fiber-rich manure and residues from the grain harvest, as well as fruit and vegetable cultivation. However, from the point of view of efficient fermentability, these are high-risk substrates, as they impair the stirring ability, tend to form
floating layers and – depending on their composition – contain an increased proportion of foam-active substances. These include proteins and certain mucilages. Foam reduces the useful volume in the digester and thus has a negative effect on the performance of the biogas plant. Due to the many different causes of foam formation, it must be combated depending on the situation. Certain material (molecular) components of substrates, such as manure, pectin-rich and protein-rich plant substrates, are often partly responsible for foam formation.
Prevents floating and accelerates degradation of fiber components
As a special product for slightly floating problem substrates, UltraSweep C4 uses the synergistic effects of fiber-dissolving enzymes and surface-active substances.
The special effect of the innovative formula C4 ensures accelerated wetting of floating substrate particles and, as a result, rapid settling in the fermenter. This facilitates the enzymatic primary degradation of the plant fiber.
This effect of UltraSweep C4 has been documented in the laboratory and confirmed in practice.
The formulation against foam and deposits
Consisting of surface-active substances and an enzyme, the innovative formula of UltraSweep E2 facilitates the decomposition of dead microbial biomass and reduces the surface tension of the liquid phase. This not only makes it more difficult for biofilms to accumulate, but also effectively prevents the formation of foams, particularly those containing protein.
As the formation of foam can have various causes and foam can be of a very different material nature, we recommend individual advice from our technical specialists before using UltraSweep E2 to combat foam.
UltraSweep E2 for cleaning system components Practical experience shows that UltraSweep E2 is highly effective in preventing and removing deposits and biofilms:

If you have any questions about our products or would like individual advice on optimizing your biogas plant, please do not hesitate to contact us.
With our biogas calculator, we can evaluate the performance of your system by analyzing the data. If required, we check the optimization of the flowability / viscosity by means of an inclined channel test, in addition to the process parameters (TS, oTS, pH, FOS/TAC, acid profile), as well as an analytical evaluation of the substrates. With these findings, we provide you with a solution tailored to your system.
