A deficiency in micronutrients is a common cause of underperformance in anaerobic digestion plants.
Trace elements are essential for maintaining cellular function, enzyme complexes, growth and much more, which is why we offer regular trace elements testing, with supplementation of these micronutrients to enhance your plant’s biological activity and improve gas yields.
Birch BioLab offers a range of trace elements that can be delivered directly to your plant, while our experts are available with advice on the correct product and dosage to meet your plant’s requirements.
