New separator improves operations at BioCirc Biogas
BioCirc in Nørre Nebel has replaced a worn separator with a new solution from Højgaards, reducing processing time from two days to half a day and ensuring stable, low-maintenance operation. An upgrade that now enables the plant to handle up to 365,000 m³ of biomass per year.
The solution from Højgaards
Dennis began his search for a reliable and efficient separator. After considering several offers, he found the best solution at Højgaards.
“They had just helped us with another project, so it was natural for us to ask them as well.”

Efficiency and time saving
The new separator from Højgaards was installed quickly, and the results were impressive. What previously required two full days to separate the digestate can now be completed in just half a day.
“It has helped us tremendously. Previously, we could spend two days separating the digestate — now it can be done in half a day.”

This has freed up time and resources for other important tasks at the plant.
Stable operation without issues
Reliability is always a key concern when investing in new equipment. In this case, the Højgaards separator has proven to be a stable and trouble-free solution.
“In addition to the time savings, we have not had to deal with repairs or maintenance. It perfectly matches our needs.”

This level of stability means less downtime and fewer unexpected repair costs.
Long-term benefits and future readiness
With the new separator, BioCirc can now handle up to 365,000 cubic metres of biomass annually. For farmers and plant managers in the biogas sector, this serves as a reminder of how significant the right equipment can be — not only in completing the task, but in doing so more efficiently and with fewer operational challenges.
Dennis and his team now look forward to a more efficient and streamlined operation. With the new technology in place, they can focus on optimising production and contributing to a more sustainable future. The investment has not only improved daily operations at BioCirc, but has also strengthened the team’s confidence in meeting future demands.
A recommendation for plant managers
The BioCirc case demonstrates how investing in the right technology can make a measurable difference. For farmers and biogas plant managers, upgrading to a more efficient separator may not only save time, but also ensure a more stable and cost-effective operation.
This case shows that the right choices can lead to significant improvements in productivity and operational efficiency at a biogas plant.
