AR059111A1 - SILO DIGESTOR-BAG TUBE TO PRODUCE METHANE - Google Patents

Abstract

A ruminant manure biodigester that is added organic materials that can be solid or liquid such as human sewers, pig manure, refrigerator waste, chopped plant and animal remains, household organic waste etc. In general, any organic product that can be digested by methanophilic bacteria. In any mixture that is intended to obtain methane, there must be methaneophyll bacteria that is added with the ruminant manure, mixing it. The equipment consists of the bag or silo-bag of an easel or support scaffold for material entry, methane exhaust outlets, exit at the end of the bag of the digestion product and this can be attached to other bags for make the transformation of waste into methane and digested materials more efficient. The easel or scaffold is a sturdy support that allows the material provided its entry and does not allow its exit (siphon type). The walls of the support is the same bag that folds and is shaped as a siphon with the support making it follow the movement that is determined by the input support. The bag is supported on the floor that has been chosen for the biodigester, trying to make the floor flat and with almost no inclination, allowing the material to flow slowly. This digester is designed to prevent damage by fire or explosion by its thin wall, the explosion is void. It allows to enter bulky organic materials and by not entering the light the metabolic bacteria develop in their fullness. With this methodology, the aim is to eliminate as much as possible the organic pollutant residues, making them a product that benefits like methane, a source of energy at a very low cost.
