NewGen Technology Algae Additive at the CORE•Biological ion exchange – H₂S + toxin elimination•Unique nutrients for microbes – Oligosaccharides + micro-nutrients•Alginates – protection of microbes
Bio-media •Shelter/housing for microbes•Enhanced filtration
Anaerobic Digestion (AD)•Attributes known
Plant design - Column filtration•Force-feeds microbes•Eliminates need for mixing•Offers self-cleaning mechanisms

Size Comparison:approximately to scale
Size DOES Matter
WHY IS NEWGEN SO EFFICIENT?
Number and health of ‘workers’ – Microbes do the work
In conventional digesters, microbes:
Suspended in water Depend on coagulates for shelter Must ‘wait’ for nutrients Vulnerable to toxins and predators
In NewGen Plant, microbes: Sheltered by porous bio-media Force-fed nutrients (oligosaccharides) Protected from toxins
(alginates + ion exchange) Out-compete predators

Every m³ of bio-media = 1 km² of surface area for microbial “workers”
NEWGEN BIOGAS PLANTSADDITIVE IS AT THE CORE
Providing microbes with:
Unique sugars and nutrients (oligosaccharides)
Protection from toxins (alginates)
Biological ion exchange (immediate and permanent H₂S reduction)
Healthy microbes
More robust proliferation
Out-compete predators
Ion exchange = no H₂S equipment corrosion
