PROCEDE D'ACCELERATION DE FERMENTATION ANAEROBIE EN CONTINU EVITANT
TOUTE FORMATION DE CROUTE
L'invention actuelle concerne un procédé de brassage des matières contenues dans un digesteur anaérobie afin de réduire le délai de rétention et d'eviter toute formation de croûte résultant de la fermentation.METHOD OF ACCELERATING ANAEROBIC FERMENTATION IN CONTINUOUS AVOIDING
ANY TRAINING OF CRUTE
The present invention relates to a method of stirring materials contained in an anaerobic digester to reduce the retention time and avoid any crust formation resulting from fermentation.
Le brassage des matieres contenues dans les digesteurs n'a été effectué jusqu'ici qu'aux fins d'éviter ou de réduire toute formation de croûte,
En effet, dans toute fermentation én continu, il est nécessaire de travailler avec de forts pourcentages d'humidité, 88, 90, 94 %. Le faible pourcentage de matieres sèches contenu par ces fluides a tendance à venir s agglomérer en suface sous l'effet de la flottaison et forme à ce moment là une croûte très compacte pouvant atteindre plusieurs mètres de hauteur.The mixing of the materials contained in the digesters has been carried out so far only to prevent or reduce any formation of crust,
Indeed, in any continuous fermentation, it is necessary to work with high percentages of moisture, 88, 90, 94%. The low percentage of dry matter contained by these fluids tends to agglomerate in suface under the effect of flotation and at that time forms a very compact crust that can reach several meters in height.
Cette croûte représente donc un des inconvénients essentiel de tout procédé de fermentation anaérobie en continu, Diverses techniques sont actuellement utilisées afin d'eviter cette formation de croûte.This crust therefore represents one of the essential drawbacks of any continuous anaerobic fermentation process. Various techniques are currently used in order to avoid this crust formation.
La station d'Achères utilise notamment l'insufflation du gaz produit parla fermentation, sous pression, à la base du digesteur. Les bulles de gaz remontant viennent alors assurer le brassage de la matiere tout en venant crever la surface, empêchant ainsi la formation de croûte. I7 est à noter que les boues résiduaires de la station d'Achères excèdent rarement 6 t de matières sèches;
D'autres utilisateurs, à une échelle nettement moins importante, utilisent soit le brassage par vis sans fin avec prise de la matiere au fond du digesteur et arrosage en surface ; soit, toujours à une échelle moins importante, en utilisant des bras de brassage en surface, assurant par rotation la non formation de croûte ou bien un brassage par aspiration et refoulement.The Achères station uses, in particular, the insufflation of the gas produced by the fermentation, under pressure, at the base of the digester. The upstream gas bubbles then ensure the mixing of the material while coming to burst the surface, thus preventing the formation of crust. It should be noted that the waste sludge at the Achères station rarely exceeds 6% of dry matter;
Other users, on a much smaller scale, use either auger stirring with material intake at the bottom of the digester and surface watering; or, still on a smaller scale, by using surface brewing arms, rotating non-crust formation or suction and discharge mixing.
Une autre technique consiste à brasser l'ensemble de la matière dans des digesteurs de forme longitudinale, I1 résulte de toutes ces techniques, une non formation de croûte, et lton peut se rendre compte que lorsqu'il s'agit de digesteurs tres importants de type 2 000 à 6 000 m3, il est impossible de pouvoir utiliser un brassage mécanique. En effet la dimension des cuves interdit d'elle même ce genre de procédé qu'il soit par bras ou par vis sans fin,
Les efforts demandes à la mécanique ne seraient pas supportables.Another technique consists in stirring all the material in longitudinal digesters. As a result of all these techniques, non-crust formation can occur and it can be seen that in the case of very important digesters of type 2 000 to 6000 m3, it is impossible to use a mechanical stirring. Indeed the size of the tanks prohibits itself this kind of process whether by arm or endless screw,
The demands on the mechanics would not be bearable.
Si l'on désire exploiter les déchets agro-alimentaires à une grande échelle, on s'aperçoit rapidement qu'il est indispensable de travailler avec de gros digesteurs, compte tenu des déchets disponibles sur un tres court rayon. Pour des raisons de transport, et du fait de la qualité des résidus actuels, on est amené à augmenter très sensiblement le pourcentage des matières sèches, ce qui interdit donc l'utilisation du procédé d'insufflation de gaz, ainsi que tout brassage mécanique.If you want to exploit agro-food waste on a large scale, you quickly realize that it is essential to work with large digesters, given the waste available on a very short radius. For reasons of transport, and because of the quality of the current residues, it is necessary to increase very significantly the percentage of solids, which therefore prohibits the use of the gas blowing process, as well as any mechanical mixing.
Afin d'éviter la construction de monstrueux digesteurs il devient donc nécessaire d'accélérer le processus de fermentation. Hors les colonies de bactéries assurant la fermentation des matières vivent agglomérées autour des particules de matières carbonées remontant à la surface.In order to avoid the construction of monstrous digesters, it becomes necessary to accelerate the fermentation process. Apart from the colonies of bacteria that ferment the material live agglomerated around particles of carbonaceous material rising to the surface.
L'invention actuelle vise donc 10 - à accélérer le processus de fermentation par reprise en suface des matieres sèches et des bactéries agglomérées autour de ces dernières, et leur réinjection à la base du digesteur, ce qui aura pour effet de réactiver ces bactéries et de permettre une meilleure fermentation de la matière, donc de réduire le delai de rétention, 2* Le fait d'aspirer la matière à un niveau inférieur au niveau de la matière contenue dans le digesteur créera un effet Vortex qui sera amplifié par la rotation de la masse en digestion ; cette rotation étant elle-mème obtenue par réinjection de la matière à la base du digesteur parallèlement aux parois avec un effet de lames ; l'ensemble de l'aspiration et de la réinjection étant assuré par pompage (pompes à gros débit).The present invention therefore aims to accelerate the fermentation process by resuming dry matter and agglomerated bacteria around the latter, and their reinjection at the base of the digester, which will have the effect of reactivating these bacteria and to allow a better fermentation of the material, thus to reduce the retention time, 2 * To suck the material to a level lower than the level of the matter contained in the digester will create a Vortex effect which will be amplified by the rotation of the mass in digestion; this rotation being itself obtained by reinjection of the material at the base of the digester parallel to the walls with a blade effect; all suction and reinjection being provided by pumping (pumps with large flow).
L'ensemble de ce procédé permet de plus une bonne homogénéisation de la matière évitant toute stratification.The whole of this process also allows a good homogenization of the material avoiding any stratification.
I1 est à noter que notre procédé évite toute installation mécanique à l'intérieur des digesteurs, ce qui evite d'interrompre la fermentation afin de pallier une panne des installations mécaniques En effet, toutes nos installations d'aspiration et de refoulement sont obtenues par des installations extérieures aux digesteurs,
BRASSAGE DES METIERES CONTENUES DANS UN DIGESTEUR ANAEROBIE
L'invention concerne un procéde de brassage des matières contenues dans un digesteur anaérobie en continu avec un fort pourcentage de matières sèches (13 %) afin d'accélérer le processus de fermentation et d'éviter toute formation de croûte.It should be noted that our process avoids any mechanical installation inside the digesters, which avoids interrupting the fermentation in order to compensate for a breakdown of the mechanical installations. Indeed, all our suction and discharge installations are obtained by facilities outside the digesters,
