General information
- Short Summary
- A Spanish biotechnology company offers a dry microbial inoculant designed to start, reactivate or reinforce anaerobic digestion without changes to existing plant infrastructure. The product is already on the market and targets biogas and biomethane plants treating manure, fibrous residues and agro-industrial by-products. The company seeks plant operators, engineering firms and distributors under commercial or supplier agreements.
- Full Description
-
A Spanish biotechnology company develops and produces a proprietary dry microbial inoculant for anaerobic digestion. The product is intended for initial inoculation and periodic reinforcement of the biological process, including start-up, restart after instability and performance support when treating complex organic feedstocks.
It can be added directly to existing digesters without process shutdown or infrastructure modification. Its main target applications are agricultural and industrial biogas and biomethane plants, livestock operations, co-digestion systems and installations treating manure, fibrous residues, agro-food by-products or wastewater-related organic streams.
The company combines supply of the inoculant with technical support. Before application, it can review key operating data, including digester volume, temperature, pH, hydraulic retention time, feedstock mix, total and volatile solids, organic loading and current stability issues. This allows the application protocol and monitoring indicators to be adapted to the plant.
Controlled biochemical methane potential tests performed under VDI 4630 principles showed substrate-dependent improvements in methane production compared with an untreated control. Final reported results included increases of 76.8% for cellulose and 69.4% for cattle manure under the tested conditions. The company treats these values as experimental evidence rather than guaranteed industrial outcomes and therefore proposes monitored applications to confirm performance for each plant and feedstock.
The desired outcome is an international commercial or supplier agreement. Potential partners may purchase and apply the product in their own installations, integrate it into their technical service portfolio or distribute it in defined markets. The Spanish company would provide product, application guidance and technical follow-up, while the partner would provide access to the target market, operational coordination and feedback from applications. - Advantages and Innovations
-
The product is a biological inoculant rather than a conventional continuously dosed chemical additive. It is designed for direct application to existing anaerobic digesters and does not require plant shutdown or infrastructure modification.
Its formulation and production know-how are proprietary. The underlying scientific work is registered, and product development and production are carried out by the Spanish company. The product is already on the market.
The offer combines the product with a diagnosis-based application protocol and technical follow-up. Controlled tests under VDI 4630 principles provide initial evidence for lignocellulosic and manure-based feedstocks, while the company uses monitored industrial applications to avoid unsupported performance guarantees. - Stage of Development

Partner Sought
- Expected Role of a Partner
-
Under a commercial agreement, a biogas or biomethane plant operator would implement a monitored application in an operating digester. The partner should appoint a technical contact, provide a representative baseline and share agreed operating data such as feedstock, temperature, pH, loading, biogas volume, methane concentration and relevant stability indicators. The Spanish company would supply the inoculant, define the application and monitoring protocol and interpret the results jointly with the operator.
Under a supplier agreement, an engineering company, plant service provider or distributor would introduce the product to suitable customers in an agreed territory or segment. The partner would support local market access, customer qualification and commercial coordination. The Spanish company would provide product supply, technical documentation, application guidance and training.
Partners with access to agricultural, agro-industrial, wastewater or co-digestion plants are of particular interest. The preferred relationship is long term and should support repeat applications, structured feedback and responsible technical communication. - Type and Size of Partner
