The Analysis of a Prototype Installation for Biogas Production from Chosen Agricultural Substrates

Methane production by fermentation is a complex biochemical process, in which micromolecular organic substances are broken down anaerobic bacteria into simple stabilized chemicals—mainly methane CH4 and carbon dioxide CO2. The matter of the slurry consists mainly fats, proteins carbohydrates. As result changes process decomposition, some this mineralized to chemical compounds. Cattle pig husbandry offers enormous potential for useable biogas plant substrates. constantly increasing amounts animal products, increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements aimed at reusing natural fertilizers, it necessary look alternative processing methods. need efficiency obtaining from substrates (e.g., manure) was met laboratory stand presented article, Polish patent No. 232200 obtained. new technology also allows leaching liquid, e.g., manure, subjecting fermentation. solution individual elements technological line that determine be tested under conditions. It testing terms fermentation, their physical characteristics, then characterize quality quantity resulting post-fermentation residues. Compressing local distribution proposed. part research, using stand, leached purpose production. In addition, yield manure varying degrees maturity assessed. best properties forecasting were demonstrated composted 4–8 weeks.
