- Preferred effects of the invention are the increase of the efficiency of biogas production by 10-30% and obtaining a few percentage points higher methane content in biogas.
- Other beneficial effects are better attenuation, reduced content of undegraded dry fraction in a product, which makes the use of a solid fraction separator unnecessary, moreover the fermentation time is significantly shortened from 75-50 days for typical type installations NaWaRo up to 15-22 days.
- there were applied working parameters and the composition of the consortium of microorganisms allows to obtain sanitation effect - due to the low pH in the accelerator, most of the pathogens are destroyed (pathogenic bacteria like coli, salmonella, parasites eggs, etc.).
- the method according to the invention will be explained in details in first and second example.
- a consortium according to the invention will be presented in more detail by means of third and fourth example of implementation.
- silage maize is taken directly from the tray and fed into the macerator, where it is mixed with the liquid material, which is slurry, and mechanically shredded, and in cases of temporary lack of its availability, the liquid material is supplemented with liquid fraction of digestate pulp.
- the obtained mixture is transferred to the biotechnological accelerator in portions every 2 hours with a 24-hour cycle of active volume exchange, where the temperature is maintained at 39 °C.
- the accelerator maintains an acidic environment with a pH of approx. 3.9, supporting the occurrence of biochemical transformations in the fermentation process, in particular hydrolysis and acidogenesis processes, preferably also acetateogenesis.
- Acidification process in the accelerator is achieved by overloading the accelerator chamber with dry organic mass of the substrate within 55 kg ⁇ m 3 ⁇ d '1 maintaining the content of dry matter in the stock at the level of 16%.
- the mentioned consortium of microorganisms has a structure at the class level expressed by the following percentage of individual microorganisms: Clostridia ⁇ 30%, Bacteroidia ⁇ 30%, Bacilli 5-50%, Alphaproteobacteria 2-10%, Gammaproteobacteria 2-8%, Betaprotobacteria 2-5%, Acinobacteria 5-25%, Flavobacteria 1-3%, Cloacamonae ⁇ 1%, Verrucomicrobiae ⁇ 1%.

- Biotechnological transformations (hydrolysis, acidogenesis and preferably acetateogenesis) are carried out in a very dynamic way through unique consortium of microorganisms.
- the use of the accelerator allows creation very favorable conditions for the occurrence of the combined hydrolysis and acidogenesis so very prominently allows to shorten HRT (hydraulic retention time) up to 40%. This allows to reduce the size of installation, or increase in biogas and biomethane efficiency of each installation due to the greater number of the substrates that can be processed by a particular installation.
- the use of the accelerator allows to obtain a post-fermentation pulp with a higher of processing degree with lower dry content mass on the level below 3%, lower level of COD and BOD.
- liquid material instead of liquid manure will be whey, digestate liquid fraction or water.

- Inhibiting methanogenesis - and thus no processing acetic acid to methane contributes to the further acidification of the reactor, which promotes hydrolysis and acidogenesis.
- Carbon dioxide and hydrogen (in small amount) emitted in the accelerator during the biochemical changes of the hydrolysis process are administered to the main fermentation tank.
- Obtaining the optimal conditions for the course of the silage pre-treatment method is to keep in the pulp from the accelerator a consortium of microorganisms whose structure at the type level is expressed by the following percentage of individual microorganisms: Firmicutes 50-65%, Actinobacteria 5-25%, Proteobacteria 2-20%, Bacterioidetes ⁇ 30%.
