Tech/Engineering - Environment & Ecology / Biogas generation
German term or phrase: Transportboden
Context:

"Transportboden mit Luftdruckdüsen"

This is the floor of the fermenter in a biogas plant. I'm thinking along the lines of "... floor with compressed air nozzles", but can't find anything like "Transport floor".

air cushion transport


Explanation:
Well, this is not exactly what you are looking for, and here it is "Luftkissen" but it sounds like a similar principle. They use a film of air exiting the holder between the holder and the floor to move stuff. Might put you in the ballpark.

Explanation:
No time for sufficient research right now, but try googling:

fermenter biogas nozzles "walking floor"

Could be a red herring, or could be the right answer!
