Biogas plant that is better in every way
Our patented technology can process 4x more solid waste than traditional plants without the need to add fresh water. This improves efficiency and cuts costs. Welcome to the new industry standard.
Biogas from straw, MSW and other difficult materials
Our ingenious biogas digester can handle all kinds of waste, including traditionally difficult-to-utilize municipal solid waste and other complex raw materials such as straw.
Our reliable robust technology is an attractive solution for biogas plant manufacturers who are looking to ensure a broader scope, higher ROI, low operations costs, and sustainable practices.
Finnish innovation meets localisation
Build your biogas plant utilizing modern Finnish innovations. Partnering with Arciplug offers an extraordinary opportunity to build biogas plants using locally available expertise and production facilities.
We believe a cost-effective biogas technology solution can be achieved by combining Finnish patented design and local manufacturing know-how. Our partners will benefit, starting from the planning phase of the biogas plant all the way to the maximum revenue generation.
Maintenance without interruption, productivity without pause
Continuous gas production is now an option. Say goodbye to operational delays with Arciplug’s maintenance-friendly reactor design.
Keeping your biogas plant running continuously, allows you to make biogas and money without interruptions.
Dry technology saves fresh water
Our digester technology doesn’t require any additional water – even for municipal solid waste or complex straw waste. Save precious water resources while achieving superior biogas production.
High organic loading rate
A high OLR means you can operate a smaller digester and reduce your footprint. Arciplug’s digesters organic loading rate is 3-5 times higher than traditional systems. This leap in OLR efficiency increases waste turnover and biogas output.
Ability to build smaller biogas plants without compromising on the energy yield unlocks new opportunities to build in dense urban areas.
How to get the most out of your Arciplug biogas digester
Suitable feedstocks
Municipal solid waste (MSW)
Agricultural residue, food waste, animal manure, sewage sludge, press mud and energy crops like maize or napier grass

Any kind of organic waste
Ideal scope for biogas plant operation
Municipalities producing around 50+ tons a day of solid waste
Biogas plants looking for advanced biogas technology to boost gas and high-quality organic fertilizer yields
Agricultural biomass, food waste, animal manure, and energy crops or their combination of around30+ tons a day
Rice or paddy straw of around 30+ tons a day

FAQ
Arciplug is a plug flow digester that can be fed daily. This gives a stable, high gas yield.
Dry and semi dry organic materials, municipal solid waste (we separate it mechanically), straw, napier grass, manure. For other feedstocks, please consult Arciplug experts.
Depends on the feedstock, but for example MSW 100 tons per day, napier 60 tons per day.
Depends on the feedstock and usage of the biogas and how much feedstock is needed to pretreat.
The digester needs one person to oversee the plant onsite or remotely if this is facilitated properly. Digester maintenance requires 1 to 2 hours of daily work.
Pre-treatment, biogas upgrading and fertilizer production may need 1 to 5 workers per shift.
Depends on the feedstock and usage of the biogas. Operation costs depend on the plant power usage and electricity price. The digester uses 1-3 % of the energy produced by the biogas plant.
There is no need for shutdowns. All maintenance can be done from outside the reactor.
The plant needs a road connection for operations, stable electricity connection 400V (or generator), mobile internet for remote control and water for normal cleaning.
Depends on the feedstock and how the output is post-treated. For example, MSW requires an area for separation.
Generally Arciplug biogas plants require less space than traditional solutions. The maximum plant dimensions range between 25 and 100 meters. Contact us for more information.
The process generates biogas and digestate which is then further separated into methane and fertilizer. Other end products include carbon dioxide and RDF from MSW. Biogas can be injected to the gas grid, used as fuel for vehicles and in electricity production or used for cooking.
Depends on the feedstock but generally it can be used as either organic fertilizer or as soil improvement material.
