Progressing Cavity Pumps for Biogas Plants
Progressing cavity pumps are essential to the safe, efficient operation of a modern biogas plant. With potentially compressible, explosive gases combined with abrasive siloxanes, pump design demands real care - which is why Sydex builds purpose-designed equipment for the sector.
The Bio-G range uses an optimised hopper and auger system in tough, wear-resistant materials, conveying biogas fluids efficiently while eliminating the risk of hazardous compression. Sydex is ATEX and ISO 9001 (TUV Nord) certified. For dewatered and high-density feedstocks, the hopper-fed G range keeps dense material moving without a bridge-breaker, and the Defender grinder protects downstream pumps by reducing solids before they enter the pumping element.
The challenge
A biogas plant is a demanding place for a pump. Potentially compressible, explosive gases combine with abrasive siloxanes and dense, dewatered feedstock, so a poorly chosen pump is both a wear problem and a safety risk.
Sydex designs specifically for the sector. The ATEX and ISO 9001 (TÜV Nord) certified Bio-G range uses a purpose-built hopper and auger in tough, wear-resistant materials to convey difficult feedstock efficiently while eliminating hazardous compression, the hopper-fed G range keeps dense material moving without a bridge-breaker, and the Defender grinder protects downstream equipment by reducing solids before they reach the pump.
