Biogas escaping from your digester means lost energy and a potential safety risk. That is why Jongia has developed a new generation of its proven Hydro-Lock sealing system: designed for even greater reliability, with zero routine maintenance.
“With the Jongia Hydro-Lock, we guarantee zero biogas escape without adding any maintenance burden.”
How does it work?
Biogas digesters operate under slight overpressure, which makes reliable shaft sealing essential. The Hydro-Lock uses a smart and simple principle: water as a pressure barrier.
A compact reservoir is mounted directly onto the mixer flange and filled with a layer of water. The weight of the water physically prevents biogas from escaping along the rotating shaft. A built-in sensor continuously monitors the water level and triggers an alert when replenishment is needed.
Thanks to the water connection on top of the housing, a clean water supply can easily be connected and kept in place.
Key benefits
- Zero biogas loss: guaranteed sealing performance at all times
- No routine maintenance: no greasing, no part replacement, no downtime
- Compact design: fits neatly onto the mixer flange
- Automated monitoring: integrated sensor provides continuous peace of mind
Reliable sealing, without intervention
Once connected to a water supply, the Hydro-Lock runs autonomously. No interventions, no surprises, just consistent sealing performance that keeps every cubic metre of biogas where it belongs: inside your reactor.
The Hydro-Lock is part of Jongia’s broader expertise in efficient mixing solutions for the biogas industry, including technologies such as the BioFoil.
The result: improved biogas yield, enhanced safety and reliable, low-maintenance biogas mixer technology built on Jongia’s proven expertise in the biogas sector.
