Device for the treatment of biomass for obtaining methane gas. Vorrichtung fuer die Behandlung von Biomasse zur Methangasgewinnung

Abstract

This is a device for the treatment of biomass from all organic materials for obtaining methane gas by anaerobic fermentation, characterized by the fact that a water-cooled internal combustion engine carries out three main functions: it drives the chopper, it drives the stirrer and, together with a rake, it destroys the floating surface and heats the fermentation area, where the device is made as a direct waste gas heating system, is controlled via a thermostat control. It gives the pulse for starting and shutting down the internal combustion engine and the waste heat of the engine and the heat of the waste gas from the internal combustion engine are used to heat the service water heat, characterized by the fact that for large plants with biogas flow, the generator engine with its exhaust gas heat takes over the function of the fermentation area heater, that the exhaust gas heat is also used to heat the service water and that a heating circuit is connected to the water cooling system of the generator engine, also characterized by the fact that an effective layer of insulation made of hard foam surrounds an iron skeleton frame, the fermentation container, fixes the supports of  More>>
