Eggersmann converts composting plant into modern energy facility

Eggersmann Group has converted its composting plant in Nieheim into an integrated energy facility. The core element is BEKON's new continuous dry fermentation process.

New continuous dry fermentation system in Nieheim

Eggersmann Group has completed the conversion of its composting plant in Nieheim into an energy facility. The core element of the plant is the first continuous plug-flow fermenter developed by BEKON GmbH. Designed for an annual throughput of 56,000 tonnes of organic waste, the 56-metre fermenter achieved a biogas yield of 126 Nm³/t during regular operations.

Biomethane upgrading and CO2 utilisation

The produced biogas is upgraded on site to grid-quality biomethane for injection into the public gas network. The biogenic CO2 separated during the upgrading process is converted locally into high-purity dry ice for industrial and logistics applications. The remaining digestate is separated into solid and liquid fractions, with the solid component processed into certified RAL quality compost and the liquid fraction used as agricultural fertiliser.

Self-sufficient energy supply and AI-based management

To power the facility, existing photovoltaic installations were expanded up to 3.4 MWp alongside a new wind turbine providing up to 5.56 MWh. An AI-based energy management system optimizes plant operation, while gas storage cushions production when renewable self-generated electricity is unavailable. A battery storage unit is also planned.

This time, the Eggersmann ROKTEC JC 900 jaw crusher was presented. At the same time, the Eggersmann IMPAKTOR 1000 was also added to the range. Jaw crusher for efficient primary treatment ”We already sell twin shaft shredders that can also be used as crushers and, since October 2025, an impact crusher, so adding a jaw crusher was our next strategic aim,” explains Managing Director Pascal Petermann. ”After all, we wanted to offer our customers a machine for the professional processing of minerals above 250 MPa as well.” The machine weighs 30 tonnes and, depending on the application, promises a throughput of up to 170 tonnes per hour, whereby the typical principle with one vibrating and one fixed jaw guarantees processing with low wear. This makes the ROKTEC JC 900 particularly…
