GT-BIO-01
This training platform turns biomass and organic waste into a complete learning pathway covering feedstock preparation, anaerobic digestion, biogas measurement, treatment, energy recovery and digestate management. Combined with GT-PROD-01, it connects bioenergy production to pumping, irrigation, cooling and agro-processing. The module may be ordered separately or with GT-PROD-01 as the Bioenergy & Productive Uses Skills Pack. Recommended training is 70 hours for groups of 8 to 12 learners.
Characteristics
- Additional training module of the GENIE TECHNICS renewable-energy programme — 10 modules in total, 9 sellable
- Internal GT-RE-BASE (not sold alone) · solar/hybrid foundation GT-RE-01 to GT-RE-04 · GT-HYD-01 hydro · GT-GRID-01 grid · GT-PROD-01 productive uses · GT-BIO-01 biomass/biogas · GT-OPS-01 O&M option
- Core path with GT-BIO-01 (70 h): 406 h (336 h + 70 h); GT-OPS-01 remains outside the trainer-of-trainers / O&M option
- Primary commercial attachment: GT-PROD-01 — Productive-use energy platform
- Commercial chain: biomass and organic waste → biogas, heat, electricity and digestate → pumping, irrigation, cooling, productive motors and processing
- Recommended combined offer: Bioenergy & Productive Uses Skills Pack (GT-BIO-01 + GT-PROD-01); separate order possible
- Associated products: GT-PROD-01 (primary), GT-RE-04 (microgrid), GT-OPS-01 (operations and maintenance)
- Does not replace GT-RE-05 (energy efficiency and intelligent buildings)
- Two instrumented comparative micro-digesters; batch and semi-continuous operation
- Target useful volume: 5 to 15 litres per reactor, to confirm at design freeze
- Biomass preparation and characterisation; work surface, balances, pH, conductivity, temperature
- Anaerobic digestion and methanisation (hydrolysis, acidogenesis, acetogenesis, methanogenesis)
- Monitoring of temperature, pH, very-low gas pressure and gas flow; CH₄, CO₂, O₂ and H₂S analysis
- Condensate separation; primary treatment and pedagogical biogas desulphurisation
- Digestate collection and characterisation; mass and energy balances
- Industrial PLC at 24 V DC, touch HMI 10 inch minimum, data acquisition
- Comparison of both digesters; trends, alarms, recipes, CSV export and PDF reports
- Modbus RTU/TCP, Ethernet and local MQTT; full local operation without Internet
- GT Interconnect to GT-RE-04, GT-PROD-01 and GT-OPS-01
- At least 30 fault scenarios (process, instrumentation, auxiliaries; safety faults fully simulated)
- 25 practicals; recommended duration 70 hours; groups of 8 to 12
- Mode 1: full simulation with no real gas
- Mode 2: limited real digestion, closed chain, validated external extraction
- Mode 3: optional outdoor pilot (not part of the standard indoor bench)
