Challenge: sa Ve bi og as fermenter fr om Collaps ING during the start-up phase, this plant ran to a problem that is quite common in the early phases of starting up a biogas process. too much acidic leachate water from sugar beets got into the plant’s digester. t he methane-producing bacteria could not handle this load, which
