Zeolite for biogas plants
A more stable digester, lower ammonia and H₂S levels, and better digestate — with natural clinoptilolite. Bulk and palletised deliveries, plus technical support from Zeolife.
Indicative values from the scientific literature — dependent on the substrate and conditions.
What zeolite does in the digester
One natural mineral, four functions — all documented. Each card links to an analysis backed by studies.
It binds excess ammonium ions and removes the inhibition of methanogens — less toxicity, more stable production.
Acts as a buffer, reduces volatile fatty acids and the risk of acidification — smoother operation.
Adsorbs hydrogen sulphide and helps upgrade biogas — protects the CHP unit/upgrader and reduces corrosion.
Slow-release nitrogen carrier — enhances the agronomic value of the digested residue.
Zeolite dosage calculator (indicative)
Select a particle size class and a recommended quantity for a pilot trial. This does not replace the jar test.
Per m³ of active volume · co-digestion
Per tonne of feedstock/day · manure, poultry, abattoirs
These ranges are indicative, based on the literature — not a formula
. Before application, a jar test and technical study on your own substrate are required. Please ask us for support.
What we supply
Natural clinoptilolite in a particle size distribution suited to your facility — from powder for adsorption to granules for biofilm carriers.
| Particle size distribution | Typical use |
|---|---|
| Powder ≤0.15 mm | Adsorption of ammonia & H₂S, gas upgrading |
| 0–1 mm | Rapid inhibition action, dosing at the feed point |
| 1–2.5 mm | Biofilm carrier, process stability |
| 2.5–5 mm | Bed / carrier, stabilisation applications |
25 kg sacks and palletised shipments throughout Greece. MSDS, chemical analysis, clinoptilolite content and CEC available for each batch — on request.
