Bauersachs GbR - Jenbacher
The biogas plant in Meeder is located in the district of Coburg in Upper Franconia. The plant uses pig slurry, grass silage and maize silage to produce valuable biogas. Owner and operator Mr Tobias Bauersachs is proud of the development of his biogas plant. ‘The biogas plant as a sensible addition to the agricultural business was the motivation to build a plant with a 100 kW Scania-Perkins genset back in 2005 as one of the first ‘biogas pioneers’,’ recalls Mr Bauersachs. In the years that followed, the plant was gradually expanded with additional engines. Today, a total of four combined heat and power plants, a SCHNELL-Scania ignition jet engine with 210 kW electrical output, a SCHNELL Liebherr gas engine with 500 kW electrical output, a Jenbacher 312 gas engine with 526 kW and a recently commissioned Jenbacher 416 gas engine with 1,200 kW electrical output are operated at the site.
In recent years, Mr Bauersachs has given a lot of thought to the continuation of his biogas plant. ‘In the early years, the combined heat and power plants were operated continuously, generating electricity 24 hours a day and feeding it into the power grid. However, biogas can do much more. Unlike wind and solar, it can be stored. Today, our engines are only operated as required, i.e. only at times of day when large amounts of electricity are needed,’ explains Tobias Bauers.

Mr Bauersachs has been relying on Emission Partner’s products and service for many years. The continuous NOx and temperature monitoring systems from Emission Partner have already been installed to fulfil the new requirements of the 44th BImSchV. ‘The overall package consisting of the organisation of the emission measurement and catalytic converters, combined with sound advice from the regional field service, ensures that I pass the emission measurement and thus reliably comply with the legal emission requirements,’ says Mr Bauersachs, summing up the cooperation.
The biogas plant is well equipped even after the EEG subsidy expires in four years thanks to the careful planning and sensible management, as well as the flexibilisation by a factor of five.
