Biogas Holder Balloon for a Chicken Litter Biogas Digester: Captures and Stores the Gas Co-product from Poultry Waste Treatment

Biogas Holder Balloon for a Chicken Litter Biogas Digester: Captures and Stores the Gas Co-product from Poultry Waste Treatment

Poultry farming, particularly large-scale operations, generates significant quantities of chicken litter (manure mixed with bedding material). This waste stream is a powerful feedstock for energy recovery through Anaerobic Digestion (AD), which simultaneously provides effective waste treatment and produces valuable biogas. For the chicken farm to leverage this fuel—used for heating coops, generating electricity, or selling as biomethane—the gas must be reliably captured and stored. The digestion of chicken litter is a biological process that yields a variable, low-pressure gas flow, demanding a flexible and highly durable storage solution.

The Biogas Holder Balloon is the essential, integrated solution for this environment. It is the dedicated system that captures and stores the gas co-product from poultry waste treatment. Often forming the integrated roof of the digester, this flexible membrane structure ensures secure, low-pressure containment, maximizes the capture of methane-rich fuel, and stabilizes the gas supply for the farm’s energy utilization equipment.

Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd. (Center Enamel), a global leader in advanced containment solutions, specializes in engineering high-performance storage systems. Our Biogas Holder Balloons are state-of-the-art gas holders designed to integrate seamlessly with agricultural digesters, offering superior containment, pressure regulation, and long-term durability in challenging farm environments.

Product Advantages

Center Enamel’s Biogas Holder Balloons are meticulously engineered for the demanding environment of low-pressure gas storage in agricultural biogas facilities. We leverage advanced materials and design principles to ensure exceptional performance, safety, and a long service life.

Flexible, Low-Pressure Storage Capacity

The balloon's core function is to provide flexible, low-pressure storage capacity. Its specialized membrane allows it to dynamically expand and contract, effortlessly accommodating the natural fluctuations in biogas production inherent in poultry waste digestion. This dynamic buffering capability prevents dangerous pressure variations, ensures a smooth feed rate into the farm’s utilization equipment, and protects the digester structure. Operating at very low pressure makes the system an inherently safe storage solution, minimizing explosion risk.

Resilience Against Corrosive Biogas

Biogas generated from chicken litter is often high in moisture and can contain various corrosive trace elements. The balloon is constructed from specialized, multi-layered composite fabric, typically coated polyester, which is selected for its exceptional durability and resistance to corrosive elements. This resistance ensures the long-term integrity of the hermetic sealing, maximizing the collection of the valuable gas while mitigating fugitive emissions.

Durability and External Protection

The robust, often double-membrane design offers superior structural integrity and protection. The exterior layer is inflated with air pressure, forming a rigid, weather-resistant shell that shields the inner gas-holding membrane from harsh external factors like strong winds, heavy precipitation, and ultraviolet radiation. This proven durability translates to low maintenance requirements, which is crucial for continuous farm operations aiming for energy self-sufficiency.
