Processes & Products
Application-ready processes and products
Our processes and products are our own development and are “ready to use”. We would like to introduce you to our processes and products, which can be used directly in practice.
Digestate treatment with the FaserPlus process
With the FiberPlus process, we can produce mineral fertilizers and valuable materials from fermentation residues. The recovery of plant nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus from fermentation residues from agricultural biogas plants and waste fermentation plants or sewage treatment plants is important in order to close material cycles and reduce negative environmental impacts such as nitrate pollution in groundwater. The treatment of fermentation residues using the FiberPlus process reduces emissions and produces valuable materials.
The procedure
Modified stripping process in which the ammonium nitrogen is removed from fermentation residues using CHP waste heat without any use of alkalis, acids, other chemicals or external stripping media. Binding of the nitrogen preferably with inexpensive FGD gypsum to produce ammonium sulfate solution and calcium carbonate as approved mineral fertilizers.
The advantages
chemical-free
Robust and low-maintenance
Low operating costs

Catalysts for thermal and thermochemical processes
The catalysts developed by GNS are used for the targeted control of thermal and thermochemical processes. This increases the efficiency of the conversion and reduces environmental pollution through emissions and waste. In particular, we have specialized in the use of inexpensive and heavy metal-free consumption catalysts.
biomass gasification with GNS catalysis
In order to make the potential of biomass gasification for decentralized heat and power generation more usable on the market, the advantages must be realized through higher efficiencies and lower emissions. By controlling the reaction catalytically, we can reduce tar formation and lower the threshold temperature in biomass gasification, as well as speed up the gasification reactions. The result is an energetically optimal utilization of the chemical energy of the biomass with reduced partial combustion and the use of internal heat sources (partially allothermal process).

Natural catalysts for fast and smoke-free grilling. The Grillspeed catalyst is a product of our many years of experience with catalysts in thermo-chemical processes. Its effectiveness has been proven in numerous scientific studies and tested in practice in the B2B sector.
The mineral-based Grillspeed catalyst promotes a quick and even glow of the charcoal with minimal smoke development. You can start putting the food on the grill much sooner after lighting it. The food is cooked faster and more evenly. This leads to a particularly good grilling result. The Grillspeed catalyst is non-toxic and does not harm the environment. We also offer the use and application completely under license.

The individual planning concept was created in 2007, taking into account the specifics on site and using existing containers and units. The technical implementation was carried out by the plant operator himself. The large-scale functionality of the process was demonstrated in practical operation on the fully automated digestate treatment plant.

Digestate treatment system GNS at a biogas plant (3 MW electricity equivalent) with biomethane production (2011-2012)
After the ammonium nitrogen has been removed, 70% of the liquid fermentation residues are returned to the biogas plant. The high proportion of nitrogen that enters the biogas plant with the poultry manure can thus be almost completely removed from the process and converted into mineral fertilizers. Heat recovery from the fermentation residue treatment can also supply the neighboring chicken fattening farm with heat.
