- the discharge line is therefore a common discharge line through which fermenter content, which was removed through the first discharge opening, and fermenter content, which was removed through the second discharge opening, are discharged.
- the flexible combination of material removal from the fermenter ensures, on the one hand, that contaminants cannot accumulate in the fermenter (or only to a reduced extent) and, on the other hand, that the contaminant content in combination with a pump and line routing used according to one embodiment does not lead to blockages.
- Interfering substances in the sense of the present disclosure are substances that do not contribute to fermentation.
- Contaminants can be, for example, substances that are not subject to any or no relevant fermentation during the typical residence time in the fermenter.
- disruptive substances are sand, stones, metal parts, stone fruit cores, etc.
- a plug flow fermenter is a fermenter which is designed to ferment fermenter contents that have a dry matter content between 15-45 percent (for example 25-40 percent at input and 15-30 percent at output). For this reason, fermentation in a plug flow fermenter is also known as dry fermentation.
- a discharge port of a plug flow fermenter is an opening provided to remove fermenter contents from the plug flow fermenter.
- a quality of the removed fermenter contents in the discharge line is, for example, a homogeneity of the removed fermenter contents in the discharge line and/or a concentration of impurities in the removed fermenter contents in the discharge line.

- the first discharge opening is arranged below the second discharge opening.
- the term “below” (and analogously also the term “above”) refers to the arrangements at different heights in a direction parallel to the Earth's gravitational field. In this sense, an arrangement of the first discharge opening below the second discharge opening means that the first discharge opening is at a smaller distance from the earth's surface than the second discharge opening.
- the biogas plant has a longitudinal

- the valve arrangement of the pump device has at least one valve, for example one valve for each discharge opening (n valves for n discharge openings, where n is a natural number greater than or equal to 2).
- two or more valves can be implemented by a combined valve.
- the biogas plant has an operating element with which a ratio of fermenter contents removed through the first discharge line to fermenter contents removed through the second discharge opening can be adjusted.
- the ratio is volume-related, i.e. H.
- a ratio of a volume of fermenter contents removed through the first discharge line to a volume of fermenter contents removed through the second discharge opening can be adjusted.
- the ratio can be weight-related.
- the biogas plant further has a sensor device for determining the nature of the removed fermenter contents in the discharge line.
- the sensor device can, for example, comprise a pressure sensor for determining a pressure in the discharge line, for example a pressure sensor of the piston pump. Since the pressure in the discharge line depends on the nature of the fermenter contents in the discharge line, this pressure is a measure of the nature of the fermenter contents in the discharge line.
- the control device is set up to control the removal of fermenter contents through the first discharge opening and through the second discharge opening.
- Controlling the removal of fermenter contents through the first discharge opening and through the second discharge opening can, for example, be control in the sense of an adjustment.

- absolute volumes can be adjustable.
- the biogas plant can be set up (for example, a display element can be provided) in order to display to an operator the quality of the removed fermenter contents in the discharge line determined by the sensor device, for example by displaying a parameter which represents the quality.
- a parameter can be, for example, a pressure in the discharge line, e.g. B. a counterpressure built up by the discharge line (i.e. the fermenter contents therein), which acts on an output of the pump device to which the discharge line is connected.
- controlling the removal of fermenter contents through the first discharge opening and through the second discharge opening can be control in the sense of regulation.
- Control in the sense of regulating can, for example, be an automatic adjustment (eg of the ratio) based on an output from the sensor device, for example an automatic adjustment based on a controlled variable, for example the parameter mentioned above.
- the control device is set up to control the removal of fermenter contents through the first discharge opening and the second discharge opening depending on the nature of the removed fermenter contents in the discharge line, which is determined by the sensor device.
- the control device can be set up to (automatically) if the impurity content in the discharge line is too high ) to reduce the removal of fermenter contents through the first discharge opening relative to the removal of fermenter contents through the second discharge opening.
- the removal of fermenter contents through the first discharge opening and through the second discharge opening is controlled by correspondingly controlling the volumes of fermenter contents that are removed from the fermenter through the first discharge opening and through the second discharge opening.
- the volumes can be achieved, for example, by a corresponding number of piston strokes of a piston pump or by a corresponding proportion of a single piston stroke.
- fermenter contents can be removed through the first discharge opening in a first partial stroke of the piston pump and fermenter contents can be removed through the second discharge opening in a second partial stroke of the piston pump be removed.
- the order of the partial strokes in which fermenter content is removed through the first discharge opening or through the second discharge opening can be chosen arbitrarily become.
- the method can also be operated in reverse, that is, in a first partial stroke of the piston pump, fermenter contents are removed through the second discharge opening and in a second partial stroke of the piston pump, fermenter contents are removed through the first discharge opening.
- the decisive factor for setting the quality of the removed fermenter contents in the discharge line is the corresponding proportion of the fermenter contents which is removed through the first discharge opening relative to the proportion of the fermenter contents which is removed through the second discharge opening.
- Removing fermenter contents with corresponding partial strokes has the advantage that fermenter contents that were removed through different discharge openings are already mixed in the piston pump and thus a high degree of homogeneity of the fermenter contents in the discharge line can be achieved.

Abstract
L'invention concerne une installation de biogaz présentant un fermenteur à écoulement piston doté d'un premier orifice de sortie et d'un second orifice de sortie, un dispositif de pompage destiné à prélever le contenu du fermenteur par le premier orifice de sortie et par le second orifice de sortie, et à distribuer le contenu de fermenteur prélevé dans une conduite de déversement, et un dispositif de commande, lequel est configuré de manière à commander un prélèvement de contenu de fermenteur par le premier orifice de sortie et par le second orifice de sortie dans le dispositif de pompage et régler ainsi la nature du contenu de fermenteur prélevé, dans la conduite de déversement. L'invention concerne en outre un procédé permettant de faire fonctionner une installation de biogaz et un produit programme d'ordinateur correspondant, lesquels permettent de commander le prélèvement du contenu du fermenteur par le premier orifice de sortie et par le second orifice de sortie, de manière à régler ainsi la nature du contenu du fermenteur dans une conduite de déversement.
