Abstract

A biogas plant has at least one fermenter (1) and a first gas store (3) and a second gas store (5) for storing biogas. The gas store (3) is connectable to a first biogas conduit (4) that is connectable to a gas outlet (7) of at least one fermenter (1) while the second gas store (5) is connectable to a second biogas conduit (6) that is connectable to a gas outlet (7) of the at least one fermenter (1). A biogas utilization appliance (2) is connectable to the first biogas store (3) and/or to the first biogas conduit (4) and to the second biogas store (5) and/or to the second biogas conduit (6). The biogas plant has a control appliance (8) for controlling the quantitative ratios of the biogas streams conducted from the biogas conduits (4, 6) and/or the biogas stores (3, 5) to the biogas utilization appliance (2).

Dependent claims

Biogas plant having at least one fermenter (1) for producing biogas to be provided to a biogas utilization appliance (2), said biogas plant comprising:

a first biogas store (3) for storing biogas, said first biogas store (3) configured for being connected via a first biogas conduit (4) to a biogas outlet (7) of the at least one fermenter (1) by means of a first selectively operable valve (18), said first biogas store (3) having a biogas store outlet;
a second biogas store (5) for storing biogas, said second biogas store (5) configured for being connected via a second biogas conduit (6) to a biogas outlet (7) of the at least one fermenter (1) by means of a second selectively operable valve (18), said second biogas store (5) having a biogas store outlet;
a control appliance (8), coupled to said first biogas conduit (4), said second biogas conduit (6) and said biogas store outlets of both said first (3) and second (5) biogas stores, for controlling the quantitative ratio of biogas streams exiting from the biogas conduits (4, 6) and/or the outlets of the biogas stores (3, 5) for use by a biogas utilization appliance.
