A pre-treatment system, engineered for acetate.
The RNG Accelerator converts organic feedstock into acetate before it enters anaerobic digestion — the same fuel methanogenic bacteria already use, delivered in a form they can consume immediately.
Driving the digestion pathway toward acetate.
Anaerobic digestion proceeds through four sequential stages. Hydrolysis, acetogenesis, and acidogenesis are slow and feedstock-sensitive. The RNG Accelerator moves them upstream and optimizes for acetate output.
Hydrolysis
Complex organics solubilized
Acidogenesis
Soluble organics are converted into volatile fatty acids.
Acetogenesis
Volatile fatty acids are reduced to acetate.
Methanogenesis
Acetate is converted into methane.
Sensor-driven, adaptive, automated.
Vertogen's proprietary process control system continuously monitors biological activity, and process conditions.
The system adapts to changing feedstock composition without manual intervention, supporting variable inputs from municipal sludge to high-strength industrial streams.
