OPTIMASH AD-100 represents DuPont Industrial Biosciences’ entry into the growing biogas sector, with an enzyme that has been shown to produce up to a 13% increase in biogas yields in anaerobic digesters. The enzyme breaks down organic matter—such as food, paper, animal and farm wastes—resulting in sugars more suitable for biogas-producing microorganisms.

The addition of this enzyme into the biomethane process improves the profitability for customers and operators by reducing feedstock requirements and increasing biogas production.

Methane biogas is primarily used to generate electricity or is compressed and inserted into the pipeline gas grid.
