This tank construction is controlled fromthe ground up – as th automated formingmachin

The limited requirement for scaffolding also means that the containers can be installed in operational process environments, where available build space is at a premium. In addition the minimised need for high level scaffolding means that health and safety risks during construction are greatly reduced. Lipp’s container sy stems are

key aspect of the systems’ longevity. In addition to pure crop storage, the two systems are also used as substrate storage for agricultural or industrial biogas plants, and are installed before the fermenter for appropriate substrate supply. They allow largely automated control of a biogas plant, as there is no need for a regular manual substrate transfer. The sugar beet silo is suitable for optimal year-rou nd storage of suga r beets and other root crops, which produce high biogas yields per hectare of cultivated land. After


the stored media can give rise to very mashing, the beets are pumped chemically aggressive juices and gases. The use of high quality stainless steel materials that are resistant to the corrosive internal
