Abstract
The rigid reactor core is intended for an aerobic or anaerobic fermentation reactor such as may be used for treatment of effluent water, sludge, continuous cultures, etc. It comprises a rigid (e.g. tubular) carrier covered and/or filled with open-cell foam material which contains active concn. centres for microorganisms consisting of activated carbon, polyelectrolytes or the like, and is provided with an outlet duct within this material. Arrangement minimises flow resistance and maximises efficiency in terms of chemical oxygen consumption (for biological effluent), volume of methane produced (anaerobic fermentation) or weight of extracellular metabolite per m3 carrier (e.g. enzyme prodn. in continuous fermentation culture).
Description
BESCHRIJVING BEHORENDE BIJ DE UITVINDINGSOCTROOI - 1 -AANVRAAG VAN FRANK VISSERS BETREFFENDE
"STIJF DRAGERELEMENT VERBONDEN MET VAN AKTIEVE
KERNEN VOORZIEN SCHUIMSTOFMATERIAAL, VOOR HET
GEBRUIK ALS REAKTORVULLING IN BIOLOGISCHE PROCESSEN".
De uitvinding heeft betrekking op dragerelementen, aangemaakt uit hard materiaal bekleed en/of opgevuld met schuimstofmateriaal, waarbij in
de betreffende schuimstof aktieve kernen voorkomen bv. aktieve kool, polyelektrolieten e.d. bestemd tot het bevorderen van de fixatie-mogelijkheden van de bio-massa op het dragerelement in de reaktor.
Het is bekend dat, vooral bij de anaerobe vergisting van afvalwaters
of van andere substraten, door de zeer lage aangroei-snelheden van de micro-organismen, een reëel gevaar voor uitwassing van dit aktieve materiaal in de reaktor kan ontstaan.
De klassieke harde dragerelementen welke tot nu toe als reaktorvulling gebruikt worden, hebben een geringe specifieke oppervlakte (m <2> per m3 dragermateriaal) en verkeren daarnaast in de onmogelijkheid tot het aangaan van aktieve bindingen (fysische, fysico-chemische, enz.) met het celmateriaal van het micro-organisme, waardoor de effektieve benutting van het dragermateriaal (kg bio-massa per m drageroppervlak) laag blijf t.
Het is duidelijk dat deze beperktheden resulteren in omvangrijke hoeveelheden dragermateriaal of reaktorvolume en een lage bedrijfszekerheid van de installatie.
Het uitsluitend vullen van de reaktor met schuimstofvlokken heeft als nadeel dat ze tijdens de bedrijfsvoering samengedrukt kunnen geraken en aanleiding kunnen geven tot verstopping, wat een hoge drukval over het reaktorbed teweegbrengt.
Tevens kunnen er zich moeilijkheden voordoen bij de afscheiding der reaktorvloeistof van de schuimstofvlokken en ook is de hanteerbaarheid ervan wat omslachtiger.
Een oplossing voor de problemen ligt vervat in deze uitvinding.
Door het bekleden en/of opvullen van een stijf dragerelement met schuimstofmateriaal dat beschikt over een opencelstruktuur en waarbij de betreffende drager voorzien is van een afvoerkanaal, kan een reaktorbed samengesteld worden met een groot specifiek oppervlak (m <2> per m <3> drager) en een vrij lage drukval.
Bovendien wordt het schuimstofmateriaal voorzien van aktieve kernen bestaande uit bv. aktieve kool, polyelektrolieten e.d. welke als fysische en/of chemische aanhechtingspunten voor de micro-organismen optreden.
De kansen voor aanhechting van de bio-massa op het dragerelement worden zodoende beduidend verhoogd.
Op de aanhechtingspunten van de schuimstofvlok zullen zich kleine haarden van micro-organismen ontwikkelen, welke als kontinue entstof voor het reaktormedium beschouwd kunnen worden.
Het gebruik van dit type dragerelement resulteert in een hoger rendement van de reaktor.
Dit kan men bv. uitdrukken als :
- kg C Z V (<1>) verwijderd per m<3> drager
(biologische afvalwaterbehandeling)
- m<3> afgas (<2>) geproduceerd per m drager
(anaerobe vergisting)
- kg extra-cellulair (<3>) metaboliet per m <3> drager
(fermentatie, kontinue kulturen)
waarbij (1) C Z V = chemisch zuurstof verbruik
(2) afgas = methaan produktie
(3) extra-cellulair metaboliet = bijvoorbeeld enzymen
produktie In figuur 1 wordt het ontwikkelde dragerelement met zijn samenstellende komponenten voorgesteld :
a aktieve punten
b harde dragerwand
c afvoerkanaal
d schuimstof
OCTROOIEIS
Het aanmaken van een stijf dragerelement bekleed en/of opgevuld met schuimstof dat een opencelstruktuur vertoont, waarbij het betreffende schuimstofmateriaal voorzien is van aktieve kernen en waarbij een uitsparings-afvoerkanaal aanwezig is.
Het dragerelement is bestemd als reaktorvulling in biologische processen, met name : anaerobe en aerobe biologische afvalwaterbehandeling, slibgisting, kontinue kulturen en andere fermentatieprocessen, waarbij de specifieke opbouw zorgt voor een
- minimale drukval
- optimaal rendement.
Hierbij bestaat geen beperking in verband met de grootte, onderlinge maatverhoudingen, materiaalsoorten van het dragerelement.
DESCRIPTION FOR THE INVENTION PATTERN - 1 APPLICATION FROM FRANK FISHERIES ON
"RIGID CARRIER ELEMENT CONNECTED WITH OF ACTIVE
NUCLEAR FACES PROVIDED FOR FOAMING MATERIAL, FOR THE
USE AS REACTOR FILLING IN BIOLOGICAL PROCESSES ".
The invention relates to carrier elements made of hard material coated and / or filled with foam material, wherein in
the respective foam active cores prevent, for example, active carbon, polyelectrolytes, etc. intended to promote the fixing possibilities of the biomass on the support element in the reactor.
It is known that, especially in the anaerobic digestion of waste waters
or of other substrates, due to the very low growth rates of the micro-organisms, a real risk of washing out of this active material in the reactor may arise.
The classic hard support elements that have been used up to now as a reactor filling have a small specific surface area (m <2> per m3 of support material) and are also unable to form active bonds (physical, physico-chemical, etc.) with the cell material of the microorganism, so that the effective utilization of the carrier material (kg biomass per m carrier surface) remains low.
It is clear that these limitations result in sizeable amounts of support material or reactor volume and low plant reliability.
The only disadvantage of filling the reactor with foam flakes is that they can become compressed during operation and can lead to blockage, which causes a high pressure drop over the reactor bed.
Difficulties can also arise with the separation of the reactor liquid from the foam flakes and the handling thereof is also somewhat more cumbersome.
A solution to the problems is contained in this invention.
By covering and / or filling a rigid support element with foam material that has an open-cell structure and in which the relevant support is provided with a discharge channel, a reactor bed can be assembled with a large specific surface area (m <2> per m <3> support ) and a fairly low pressure drop.
In addition, the foam material is provided with active cores consisting of, for example, active carbon, polyelectrolytes, etc., which act as physical and / or chemical attachment points for the micro-organisms.
The chances of adhesion of the biomass to the carrier element are thus significantly increased.
Small fireplaces of microorganisms will develop at the points of attachment of the foam flake, which can be regarded as a continuous inoculum for the reactor medium.
The use of this type of support element results in a higher efficiency of the reactor.
This can be expressed, for example, if:
- kg C Z V (<1>) removed per m <3> carrier
(biological wastewater treatment)
- m <3> waste gas (<2>) produced per m carrier
(anaerobic digestion)
- kg extra-cellular (<3>) metabolite per m <3> carrier
(fermentation, continuous cultures)
where (1) C Z V = chemical oxygen consumption
(2) waste gas = methane production
(3) extracellular metabolite = e.g. enzymes
production In figure 1 the developed carrier element with its constituent components is represented:
a active points
b hard carrier wall
c drain
d foam
PATENT
The preparation of a rigid carrier element coated and / or filled with foam which exhibits an open-cell structure, wherein the foam material concerned is provided with active cores and in which a recess discharge channel is present.
The carrier element is intended as a reactor filling in biological processes, in particular: anaerobic and aerobic biological wastewater treatment, sludge fermentation, continuous cultures and other fermentation processes, whereby the specific structure ensures a
- minimal pressure drop
- optimal return.
There is no limitation here with regard to the size, mutual dimensional ratios, material types of the carrier element.
