In addition, the waste produced in the final process is used as a valuable resource, and the apparatus and the treatment method thereof generate almost no waste.

本発明は、上述の課題を解決するための手段を以下のように構成している。すなわち、本発明は、有機物を発酵させるメタン発酵槽と、該メタン発酵槽に接続され、発酵槽内で生成された消化液を貯留する消化液槽と、前記消化液槽に接続され、消化液を密閉容器に収容し、減圧下において所定の温度範囲に加熱しながら撹拌するとともに、微生物を利用して有機物の有機成分を分解させ、減容した乾燥物を得る減圧発酵乾燥装置とを備えていることを特徴とする。 The present invention constitutes means for solving the above-mentioned problems as follows. That is, the present invention is connected to a methane fermenter for fermenting organic matter, a digestive juice tank connected to the methane fermenter and storing digestive juice produced in the fermenter, and a digestive juice tank connected to the digestive juice tank. Is housed in a closed container and stirred while heating to a predetermined temperature range under reduced pressure. It is characterized by being.

本発明によれば、高度な浄化処理施設がなくても、メタン発酵による排出される消化液を処理することができる。また、最終工程で発生する廃棄物は有機肥料として利用できるので、ほとんど廃棄物を発生させないものである。 According to the present invention, the digestive juice discharged by methane fermentation can be treated without an advanced purification treatment facility. Moreover, since the waste generated in the final process can be used as an organic fertilizer, almost no waste is generated.

本発明において、前記減圧発酵乾燥装置は、少なくとも2基以上の一次減圧発酵乾燥機を備え、前記複数基の一次減圧発酵乾燥機に直列に接続され、一次減圧発酵乾燥機の設置基数以下の二次減圧発酵乾燥機と、を備えていることが好ましい。この構成によれば、二次減圧発酵乾燥機の設置基数を減らことが可能であるので、その設置スペースを減らし、またランニングコストも抑えることが可能である。 In the present invention, the vacuum fermentation / drying apparatus is provided with at least two or more primary vacuum fermentation dryers, connected in series to the plurality of primary vacuum fermentation dryers, and has two or less primary vacuum fermentation dryers. It is preferable to have a next vacuum fermentation dryer. According to this configuration, it is possible to reduce the number of installation units of the secondary vacuum fermentation dryer, so that the installation space can be reduced and the running cost can be suppressed.

本発明において、前記二次減圧発酵乾燥機から排出される二次乾燥物に混入している異物を除去する選別装置を備えていることが好ましい。この構成によれば、最終工程で製造される有機肥料から、すでに異物が除去されており、この有機肥料を安心して使用することができる。 In the present invention, it is preferable to have a sorting device for removing foreign substances mixed in the secondary dried product discharged from the secondary vacuum fermentation dryer. According to this configuration, foreign substances have already been removed from the organic fertilizer produced in the final process, and this organic fertilizer can be used with confidence.

本発明において、前記消化液槽に接続された主配管と、前記主配管からそれぞれ分岐した分配管と、前記分配管にそれぞれ接続された複数基の一次減圧発酵乾燥機と、前記分配管に開閉弁をそれぞれ設けることが好ましい。この構成によれば、前記それぞれの開閉弁を調整することで、前記消化液槽から2基以上の一次減圧発酵乾燥機のそれぞれに最適量の消化液を投入することができる。また、前記それぞれの開閉弁の内、少なくともひとつの開閉弁を閉にすることにより、その開閉弁に対応する一次減圧発酵乾燥機を停止させることができ、消化液の排出量が少ない時にランニングコストを抑えることができる。 In the present invention, a main pipe connected to the digestive liquid tank, a branch pipe branched from the main pipe, a plurality of primary vacuum fermentation dryers connected to the branch pipe, and an opening / closing of the branch pipe.

At the same time, it is a method for treating digestive juice in methane fermentation of an organic substance, which comprises a vacuum fermentation drying step of decomposing an organic component of an organic substance using microorganisms to obtain a dried product having a reduced volume. The same effect as the digestive juice processing device in methane fermentation of organic matter can be expected.

本発明に係る有機物のメタン発酵における消化液の処理装置及びその処理方法によれば、高度な浄化処理施設がなくても、メタン発酵による排出される消化液を処理することができる。また、最終工程で発生する廃棄物は有機肥料として利用できるので、ほとんど廃棄物を発生させないものである。 According to the device for treating digestive juice in methane fermentation of organic matter and the treatment method thereof according to the present invention, the digestive juice discharged by methane fermentation can be treated without an advanced purification treatment facility.

以下、本発明の実施形態について図面を参照しながら説明する。図1は、本発明の実施形態に係る有機物のメタン発酵における消化液の処理装置の概略構成を示す図、図2は、メタン発酵槽の概略構成を示す図、図3は、一次減圧発酵乾燥機の概略構成を模式的に示す図、図4は、減圧発酵乾燥装置の正面を示す図である。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of a digestive juice processing apparatus in methane fermentation of an organic substance according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of a methane fermentation tank, and FIG. 3 is a primary vacuum fermentation drying. FIG. 4 is a diagram schematically showing the schematic configuration of the machine, and FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the front of the vacuum fermentation drying device.

図1および図2に示すように、1はメタン発酵槽であり、1aの投入口より、下水汚泥、し尿、食品廃棄物、畜産廃棄物などの有機性廃棄物、あるいは資源作物またはその廃棄物などの有機物が発酵槽1b内に投入され、メタン発酵させることができる。その間、減速機付モータ1cに連結した回転軸1dに上下2段に取り付けられた複数枚の回転羽根1e,・・・により撹拌され、有機物のメタン発酵が促進され、メタンガスGが発生する。前記メタン発酵槽1内では発生したメタンガスGは、ガス回収管1fからガスタンク6に回収され、その間に不要な炭酸ガスを排除してガスタンク6に貯留される。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 is a methane fermenter, and from the input port of 1a, organic waste such as sewage sludge, urine, food waste, livestock waste, or resource crop or its waste. Organic substances such as are put into the fermenter 1b and can be fermented with methane. During that time, the mixture is agitated by a plurality of rotary blades 1e, ... Attached to the rotary shaft 1d connected to the motor 1c with a speed reducer in two upper and lower stages, and methane fermentation of the organic substance is promoted to generate methane gas G. The methane gas G generated in the methane fermentation tank 1 is recovered from the gas recovery pipe 1f into the gas tank 6, and during that time, unnecessary carbon dioxide gas is removed and stored in the gas tank 6.

前記ガスタンク6に貯留されたメタンガスGは、ガス発電ボイラー7の燃料として供給され、メタンガスGを燃焼させ、その熱エネルギーをタービンの動力エネルギーに変換して電気エネルギーに変換するものである。また、この熱エネルギーを後述の減圧発酵乾燥装置の加熱用蒸気として利用したりすることができるほか、余剰電気エネルギーは電力会社にも供給することができる。 The methane gas G stored in the gas tank 6 is supplied as fuel for the gas power generation boiler 7, burns the methane gas G, converts the heat energy into the power energy of the turbine, and converts it into electric energy. In addition, this heat energy can be used as steam for heating a vacuum fermentation / drying device described later, and surplus electric energy can also be supplied to an electric power company.

前記メタン発酵槽1でメタン発酵させ続けると、発酵液のpHの濃度が低下するが、pH調整剤としてアルカリ剤を投入すると、pH濃度は回復し、安定的にメタン発酵を続けることができる。これらのことを繰り返してアルカリ剤を投入するが、ひと月が経過するころから、メタンガスG発生効率が落ちてくる。 If methane fermentation is continued in the methane fermentation tank 1, the pH concentration of the fermentation broth decreases, but if an alkaline agent is added as a pH adjuster, the pH concentration is restored and methane fermentation can be continued stably. Alkaline agents are added by repeating these steps, but the efficiency of methane gas G generation decreases after one month has passed.

そこで、前記発酵槽1b内の発酵かすである消化液Lをその下部に設けた排出口1gから、排出管2aを介して消化液槽2に移し替える必要がある。また、前記排出管2aの途中には搬送ポンプ2bと開閉バルブ2cが直列に設けられており、前記搬送ポンプ2bを駆動して開閉バルブ2cを開閉操作することにより、メタン発酵槽1から消化液Lを消化液槽2に移し替えることができる。また、前記投入口1aから再び有機物を投入することなど、前記同様のことを繰り返すことにより、メタンガスGを安定的に連続してガスタンク6に供給することができる。 Therefore, it is necessary to transfer the digestive liquid L, which is the fermentation residue in the fermenter 1b, from the discharge port 1g provided at the lower portion to the digestive liquid tank 2 via the discharge pipe 2a. Further, a transfer pump 2b and an on-off valve 2c are provided in series in the middle of the discharge pipe 2a, and the digestive liquid is digested from the methane fermentation tank 1 by driving the transfer pump 2b to open and close the on-off valve 2c. L can be transferred to the digestive juice tank 2. Further, by repeating the same procedure as described above, such as charging the organic substance again from the charging port 1a, the methane gas G can be stably and continuously supplied to the gas tank 6.

前記消化液槽2にはメタン発酵槽1でひと月かけて発酵処理され、そのかすである消化液Lが貯留されている。前記消化液槽2からは減圧発酵乾燥装置Aに消化液Lを供給することができる。本実施例では、前記減圧発酵乾燥装置Aは3基の一次減圧発酵乾燥機3と、一基のみの二次減圧発酵乾燥機3’とで構成されている。前記消化液槽2はその下部に設けた主配管2dからそれぞれ三つに分岐した分配管2eを介して一次減圧発酵乾燥機3に接続されており、また前記それぞれの分配管2eには開閉バルブ2fが設けられている。前記開閉バルブ2fのそれぞれの開度を調整することにより、一次減圧発酵乾燥機3にはそれぞれ最適な量の消化液Lを供給することができる。なお、本実施例では消化液Lを消化液槽2から一次減圧発酵乾燥機3に重力で押し出すようにして供給しているが、ポンプを設けて強制的に供給するようにしてもよい。 The digestive juice tank 2 is fermented in the methane fermenter tank 1 for one month, and the digestive juice L, which is the residue thereof, is stored. The digestive liquid L can be supplied from the digestive liquid tank 2 to the vacuum fermentation drying device A. In this embodiment, the vacuum fermentation / drying apparatus A is composed of three primary vacuum fermentation dryers 3 and only one secondary vacuum fermentation dryer 3'. The digestive liquid tank 2 is connected to the primary decompression fermenter / dryer 3 via a branch pipe 2e branched into three from the main pipe 2d provided at the lower portion thereof, and an open / close valve is attached to each of the split pipes 2e. 2f is provided. By adjusting the opening degree of each of the opening / closing valves 2f, an optimum amount of digestive juice L can be supplied to the primary vacuum fermentation dryer 3. In this embodiment, the digestive liquid L is supplied from the digestive liquid tank 2 to the primary vacuum fermentation dryer 3 by gravity, but a pump may be provided to forcibly supply the digestive liquid L.

前記減圧発酵乾燥装置Aには3基の一次減圧発酵乾燥機3を設けているが、すべて同じ構成であるので、その一つについて説明する。前記一次減圧発酵乾燥機3は、図1及び図3に示すように、主配管2dから分配管2e、さらに投入口30aを経て供給される消化液Lを収容する密閉容器として、内部を大気圧以下に保持するように気密に形成された略円筒状のタンク(耐圧タンク)30を備えている。このタンク30の周壁部には、加熱ジャケット31が設けられ、ガス発電ボイラー7で発生した加熱用蒸気が加熱ジャケット31に供給されるようになっている。なお、ガス発電ボイラー7から供給される蒸気の温度は、例えば140℃程度が好ましい。 The vacuum fermentation / drying apparatus A is provided with three primary vacuum fermentation / dryers 3, but all of them have the same configuration, and one of them will be described. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the primary vacuum fermentation dryer 3 has an atmospheric pressure inside as a closed container for accommodating the digestive liquid L supplied from the main pipe 2d to the branch pipe 2e and further through the inlet 30a. It is provided with a substantially cylindrical tank (pressure resistant tank) 30 which is airtightly formed so as to be held below. A heating jacket 31 is provided on the peripheral wall portion of the tank 30, so that the heating steam generated by the gas power generation boiler 7 is supplied to the heating jacket 31. The temperature of the steam supplied from the gas power generation boiler 7 is preferably, for example, about 140 ° C.

また、前記加熱ジャケット31に取り囲まれるようにして、タンク30の内部にはその長手方向(図3の左右方向)に延びる撹拌シャフト32が設けられている。撹拌シャフト32は、電動モータ32aによって所定の回転速度で回転される。撹拌シャフト32には、その軸方向に離間して複数の撹拌板32bが設けられており、これら撹拌板32bによって、消化液Lが撹拌されるとともに、消化液Lから一次発酵乾燥処理された一次乾燥物がタンク30の長手方向に送られるようになっている。 Further, a stirring shaft 32 extending in the longitudinal direction (left-right direction in FIG. 3) is provided inside the tank 30 so as to be surrounded by the heating jacket 31. The stirring shaft 32 is rotated at a predetermined rotation speed by the electric motor 32a. The stirring shaft 32 is provided with a plurality of stirring plates 32b spaced apart from each other in the axial direction, and the digested liquid L is stirred by these stirring plates 32b, and the primary fermentation and drying treatment is performed from the digested liquid L. The dried product is fed in the longitudinal direction of the tank 30.

前記タンク30の前壁上部には消化液Lの投入口30aが設けられており、この投入口30aから投入された消化液Lが、加熱ジャケット31によって加熱されながら、撹拌シャフト32の回転によって撹拌される。そして、所定時間経過した後、前記一次乾燥物がタンク30の後壁下部に設けられた排出部30bから排出される。なお、電動モータ32aの代わりに、油圧モータを用いてもよい。 An inlet 30a for the digestive juice L is provided on the upper part of the front wall of the tank 30, and the digestive juice L charged from the inlet 30a is agitated by the rotation of the stirring shaft 32 while being heated by the heating jacket 31. Will be done. Then, after a lapse of a predetermined time, the primary dried product is discharged from the discharge portion 30b provided in the lower part of the rear wall of the tank 30. A hydraulic motor may be used instead of the electric motor 32a.

前記一次減圧発酵乾燥機3のそれぞれの排出部30bには排出分配管3aが接続されており、これら三つの排出分配管3aは一つの排出主配管3bに集合されている。なお、これら排出分配管3a及び排出主配管3bには、粘性のある一次乾燥物を排出するために、図4に示すように配管内にはスクリューコンベア3cを設けている。 A discharge pipe 3a is connected to each discharge portion 30b of the primary vacuum fermentation dryer 3, and these three discharge pipes 3a are gathered in one discharge main pipe 3b. As shown in FIG. 4, a screw conveyor 3c is provided in the discharge pipe 3a and the discharge main pipe 3b in order to discharge the viscous primary dried product.

前記排出主配管3bは、右上がりに傾斜して二次減圧発酵乾燥機3’の投入口30’aに接続されている。このようにして、一次乾燥物は一次減圧発酵乾燥機3から二次減圧発酵乾燥機3’に投入される。そして、所定時間経過した後、図5に示すように二次減圧発酵乾燥機3’の排出部30’bから二次乾燥物を排出することができる。なお、二次減圧発酵乾燥機3’は一次減圧発酵乾燥機3とほぼ同じ構成であるので詳細は省略する。 The discharge main pipe 3b is inclined upward to the right and is connected to the input port 30'a of the secondary vacuum fermentation dryer 3'. In this way, the primary dried product is charged from the primary vacuum fermentation dryer 3 to the secondary vacuum fermentation dryer 3'. Then, after a lapse of a predetermined time, as shown in FIG. 5, the secondary dried product can be discharged from the discharge unit 30'b of the secondary vacuum fermentation dryer 3'. Since the secondary vacuum fermentation dryer 3'has almost the same configuration as the primary vacuum fermentation dryer 3, details are omitted.

図1では1基のクーリングタワー8に対して、3基の一次減圧発酵乾燥機3と1基の二次減圧発酵乾燥機3’を接続しているが、図3では分り易くするために、一次減圧発酵乾燥機3に対して1基のクーリングタワー8を設けていることにして説明する。さらに、前記ガス発電ボイラー7についても、クーリングタワー8と同様である。 In FIG. 1, three primary vacuum fermentation dryers 3 and one secondary vacuum fermentation dryer 3'are connected to one cooling tower 8, but in FIG. 3, for the sake of clarity, the primary is primary. It is assumed that one cooling tower 8 is provided for the vacuum fermentation dryer 3. Further, the gas power generation boiler 7 is the same as the cooling tower 8.

前記タンク30の上部には、加熱された消化液Lから発生する蒸気を凝縮部33へ案内する案内部30cが突設されている。前記案内部33cを介して連通路34に支持された凝縮部33の内部には、1対のヘッド33aによって支持された複数の冷却管33bを備えており、これら複数の冷却管33bと、クーリングタワー8との間には、冷却水経路80が設けられている。本実施形態では、凝縮部33は、タンク30の長手方向に沿って平行に延びており、案内部30cの後方側に凝縮部33が配置されている。 A guide portion 30c for guiding the steam generated from the heated digestive liquid L to the condensing portion 33 is provided above the tank 30. A plurality of cooling pipes 33b supported by a pair of heads 33a are provided inside the condensing portion 33 supported by the communication passage 34 via the guide portion 33c, and the plurality of cooling pipes 33b and the cooling tower are provided. A cooling water path 80 is provided between the 8 and the 8th. In the present embodiment, the condensing portion 33 extends in parallel along the longitudinal direction of the tank 30, and the condensing portion 33 is arranged on the rear side of the guide portion 30c.

そして、凝縮部33において冷却管33b内を流通し、高温の蒸気との熱交換によって温度が上昇した冷却水は、図3に模式的に矢印で示すように冷却水経路80を流通してクーリングタワー8の受水槽81に流入する。クーリングタワー8には、その受水槽81から冷却水を汲み上げる汲み上げポンプ82と、汲み上げた冷却水を噴射するノズル83とが設けられている。このノズル83から噴射された冷却水は、流下部84を流下する間にファン85からの送風を受けて温度が低下し、再び受水槽81に流入するようになっている。 Then, the cooling water that circulates in the cooling pipe 33b in the condensing portion 33 and whose temperature has risen due to heat exchange with the high-temperature steam flows through the cooling water path 80 as schematically shown by an arrow in FIG. 3 and is a cooling tower. It flows into the water receiving tank 81 of 8. The cooling tower 8 is provided with a pump 82 that pumps cooling water from the water receiving tank 81, and a nozzle 83 that injects the pumped cooling water. The cooling water jetted from the nozzle 83 receives air from the fan 85 while flowing down the lower part 84, the temperature drops, and the cooling water flows into the water receiving tank 81 again.

クーリングタワー8で冷却された冷却水は、冷却水ポンプ86によって送水され、冷却水経路80によって凝縮部33に送られて、再び複数の冷却管33b内を流通する。そして、上述のようにタンク30の内部で発生した蒸気との熱交換によって温度が上昇した後に、再び冷却水経路80を流通して、クーリングタワー8の受水槽81に流入する。つまり、冷却水は凝縮部33とクーリングタワー8との間の冷却水経路80を循環する。 The cooling water cooled by the cooling tower 8 is sent by the cooling water pump 86, sent to the condensing portion 33 by the cooling water path 80, and circulates in the plurality of cooling pipes 33b again. Then, after the temperature rises due to heat exchange with the steam generated inside the tank 30 as described above, the water flows through the cooling water path 80 again and flows into the water receiving tank 81 of the cooling tower 8. That is, the cooling water circulates in the cooling water path 80 between the condensing unit 33 and the cooling tower 8.

上述のように循環する冷却水の他に、クーリングタワー8では、加熱された消化液Lから発生する蒸気が凝縮部33において凝縮した凝縮水も注水される。なお、図示しないが凝縮部33の下方に、高温の蒸気と熱交換することによって生成した凝縮水が集められるようになっている。また、凝縮部33には連通路35を介して真空ポンプ36が接続され、タンク30内を減圧するようになっている。 In addition to the cooling water that circulates as described above, in the cooling tower 8, the condensed water in which the steam generated from the heated digestive liquid L is condensed in the condensing portion 33 is also injected. Although not shown, condensed water generated by heat exchange with high-temperature steam is collected below the condensed portion 33. Further, a vacuum pump 36 is connected to the condensing portion 33 via a communication passage 35 to reduce the pressure in the tank 30.

すなわち、真空ポンプ36の作動によって、連通路35を介して凝縮部33から空気および凝縮水が吸い出され、さらに連通路34および案内部30cを介してタンク30内の空気および蒸気が吸い出される。こうして、凝縮部33からは凝縮水が真空ポンプ36に吸い出され、この真空ポンプ36から導水管によって、クーリングタワー8の受水槽81に導かれる。なお、前記連通路34には、開閉バルブ3dが設けられており、一次減圧発酵乾燥機3を停止している際には、その内部から空気などが吸引されないようにしている。 That is, by the operation of the vacuum pump 36, air and condensed water are sucked out from the condensing portion 33 through the communication passage 35, and further, air and steam in the tank 30 are sucked out through the communication passage 34 and the guide portion 30c. .. In this way, the condensed water is sucked out from the condensing portion 33 to the vacuum pump 36, and is guided from the vacuum pump 36 to the water receiving tank 81 of the cooling tower 8 by the water guide pipe. An opening / closing valve 3d is provided in the communication passage 34 so that air or the like is not sucked from the inside of the primary vacuum fermentation dryer 3 when the primary vacuum fermentation dryer 3 is stopped.

こうしてクーリングタワー8の受水槽81に導かれた凝縮水は、冷却水と混ざり合って上述のように汲み上げポンプ82に汲み上げられ、ノズル83から噴射された後に、流下部84を流下しながら冷却される。なお、凝縮水には、タンク30内に添加されたものと同じ微生物が含まれており、この凝縮水に含まれる臭気成分等が分解されているので、臭気はタンク外部へ発散しないようになっている。 The condensed water thus guided to the water receiving tank 81 of the cooling tower 8 is mixed with the cooling water, pumped up by the pumping pump 82 as described above, injected from the nozzle 83, and then cooled while flowing down the lower part 84. .. The condensed water contains the same microorganisms as those added to the tank 30, and the odorous components and the like contained in the condensed water are decomposed, so that the odor does not dissipate to the outside of the tank. ing.

上記構成の一次減圧発酵乾燥機3の作動について説明すると、タンク30内に収容された消化液Lは、加熱ジャケット31に供給される加熱用蒸気によって加熱されながら、撹拌シャフト32の回転に伴い撹拌される。そして、タンク30内を取り囲む加熱ジャケット31による外側からの加熱と、撹拌シャフト32などによる内側からの加熱とを受けて、タンク30内に収容された消化液Lが効果的に昇温されるとともに、撹拌シャフト32によって消化液Lが撹拌される。加えて、真空ポンプ36の作動によって減圧されているため、タンク30内では沸点が低下し、微生物によって消化液Lの有機成分の分解が促進される温度領域で水分が蒸発する。 Explaining the operation of the primary vacuum fermentation dryer 3 having the above configuration, the digestive liquid L contained in the tank 30 is stirred by the rotation of the stirring shaft 32 while being heated by the heating steam supplied to the heating jacket 31. Will be done. Then, the digestive juice L contained in the tank 30 is effectively heated by receiving heating from the outside by the heating jacket 31 surrounding the inside of the tank 30 and heating from the inside by the stirring shaft 32 or the like. , The digestive juice L is stirred by the stirring shaft 32. In addition, since the pressure is reduced by the operation of the vacuum pump 36, the boiling point is lowered in the tank 30, and the water evaporates in the temperature region where the decomposition of the organic component of the digestive juice L is promoted by the microorganism.

なお、一次減圧発酵乾燥機3による減圧発酵乾燥工程では1工程(1サイクル)は、例えば24時間であることが好ましく、まず30分かけて消化液Lが投入され、23時間かけて消化液Lの有機成分を分解させる発酵工程と同時に、消化液を乾燥させる乾燥工程とを設け、さらに30分かけて一次乾燥物(含水率30~40%)を排出している。その間、タンク30内を-0.06~-0.07MPa(ゲージ圧;以下、ゲージ圧は省略する)に減圧すると、タンク30内の水分温度は76~69℃(飽和蒸気温度)に維持される。その結果、消化液Lは、後述する微生物によって、一次発酵分解乾燥が促進される。 In the vacuum fermentation / drying step by the primary vacuum fermentation / drying machine 3, one step (1 cycle) is preferably, for example, 24 hours. First, the digestive juice L is charged over 30 minutes, and then the digestive juice L is charged over 23 hours. At the same time as the fermentation step of decomposing the organic components of the above, a drying step of drying the digestive juice is provided, and the primary dried product (moisture content of 30 to 40%) is discharged over another 30 minutes. During that time, when the inside of the tank 30 is depressurized to −0.06 to −0.07 MPa (gauge pressure; hereinafter, the gauge pressure is omitted), the water temperature in the tank 30 is maintained at 76 to 69 ° C. (saturated steam temperature). To. As a result, the digestive juice L is promoted by the microorganism described later in the primary fermentation, decomposition and drying.

次に、二次減圧発酵乾燥機3’による減圧発酵乾燥処理する工程もほぼ上記同様の工程で、30分かけて一次乾燥物をタンク30’内に投入し、前記同様23時間かけて一次乾燥物の未発酵分の有機物を発酵させ、さらに乾燥させることになる。その間、タンク30’内を-0.09~-0.10MPaに減圧すると、タンク30’内の水分温度は46~42℃(飽和蒸気温度)に維持される。その結果、一次乾燥物は、後述する微生物によって、二次発酵分解乾燥が促進される。そして、二次減圧発酵乾燥機3’の排出部30’bから二次乾燥物(含水率10%以下)を排出させることができる。
そして、そのような乾燥処理を行う際に、タンク30,30’内の有機物に添加する微生物としては、例えば特許文献2に記載されているように、複数種類の土着菌をベースとし、これを予め培養した複合有効微生物群が好ましく、通称、SHIMOSE 1/2/3群がコロニーの中心になる。
Next, the step of performing the vacuum fermentation drying process by the secondary vacuum fermentation dryer 3'is almost the same as the above, and the primary dried product is put into the tank 30'over 30 minutes and the primary drying is carried out in the same manner as described above for 23 hours. The unfermented organic matter of the thing is fermented and further dried. During that time, when the pressure inside the tank 30'is reduced to −0.09 to −0.10 MPa, the water temperature in the tank 30'is maintained at 46 to 42 ° C. (saturated steam temperature). As a result, the secondary fermentation decomposition drying of the primary dried product is promoted by the microorganism described later. Then, the secondary dried product (moisture content of 10% or less) can be discharged from the discharge unit 30'b of the secondary vacuum fermentation dryer 3'.
Then, as the microorganism to be added to the organic matter in the tanks 30 and 30'when performing such a drying treatment, for example, as described in Patent Document 2, a plurality of types of indigenous bacteria are used as a base. Pre-cultured complex effective microorganisms are preferable, and the so-called SHIMOSE 1/2/3 group is the center of the colony.

なお、SHIMOSE 1は、FERM BP-7504(経済産業省産業技術総合研究所生命工学工業技術研究所特許微生物寄託センター(日本国茨城県つくば市東1丁目1-3)に、2003年3月14日に国際寄託されたもの)である。また、SHIMOSE 2は、FERM BP-7505(SHIMOSE 1と同様に国際寄託されたもの)、塩に耐性を有するピチアファリノサ(Pichiafarinosa)に属する微生物であり、SHIMOSE 3は、FERM BP-7506(SHIMOSE 1と同様に国際寄託されたもの)、スタフィロコッカス(Staphylococcus)に属する微生物である。 SHIMOSE 1 was sent to FERM BP-7504 (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Patent Microorganisms Depositary Center (1-1-3, Higashi, Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan), March 14, 2003. It was deposited internationally in Japan). In addition, SHIMOSE 2 is a microorganism belonging to FERM BP-7505 (which was deposited internationally like SHIMOSE 1) and Pichiafarinosa, which has resistance to salt, and SHIMOSE 3 is a microorganism belonging to FERM BP-7506 (SHIMOSE 1). Similarly, it is a microorganism belonging to Staphylococcus (which was deposited internationally).

ここで、前記一次減圧発酵乾燥機3による有機物の減圧発酵乾燥処理の手順について説明する。まず、前記消化液槽2に収容された消化液Lを一次減圧発酵乾燥機3のタンク30の投入口30aからに投入する。そして、開閉バルブ2fを閉じて、タンク30内を大気圧状態で密閉する。 Here, the procedure of the vacuum fermentation drying treatment of the organic substance by the primary vacuum fermentation dryer 3 will be described. First, the digestive liquid L contained in the digestive liquid tank 2 is charged into the charging port 30a of the tank 30 of the primary vacuum fermentation dryer 3. Then, the on-off valve 2f is closed to seal the inside of the tank 30 in an atmospheric pressure state.

その後、タンク30内の消化液Lに所定の微生物を添加した後に、真空ポンプ36近傍に設けた大気開放バルブ36aを閉じてタンク30内を密閉する。そして、タンク30内を減圧下で加熱し、その内部に収容した消化液Lの有機成分を一次発酵乾燥させる。すなわち、ガス発電ボイラー7から加熱用蒸気を供給し、タンク30内を加熱する。 Then, after adding a predetermined microorganism to the digestive juice L in the tank 30, the atmosphere opening valve 36a provided in the vicinity of the vacuum pump 36 is closed to seal the inside of the tank 30. Then, the inside of the tank 30 is heated under reduced pressure, and the organic component of the digestive juice L contained therein is first fermented and dried. That is, heating steam is supplied from the gas power generation boiler 7 to heat the inside of the tank 30.

そうして加熱用蒸気によってタンク30内を加熱するとともに、撹拌シャフト32を所定の回転速度(例えば、8rpm程度)で回転させ、さらに、真空ポンプ36の作動によってタンク30内を減圧し、これにより、タンク30内の温度が微生物の活動至適環境となり、微生物による有機物の有機成分の分解が好適に促進される。なお、撹拌シャフト32の回転速度(8rpm)は一例であって、有機物の有機成分の分解が可能であれば他の値であってもよい。 Then, the inside of the tank 30 is heated by the heating steam, the stirring shaft 32 is rotated at a predetermined rotation speed (for example, about 8 rpm), and the inside of the tank 30 is depressurized by the operation of the vacuum pump 36. The temperature inside the tank 30 becomes the optimum environment for the activity of microorganisms, and the decomposition of organic components of organic substances by microorganisms is suitably promoted. The rotation speed (8 rpm) of the stirring shaft 32 is an example, and may be another value as long as the organic component of the organic substance can be decomposed.

このようにしてタンク30内の温度および圧力を維持しつつ、所定の時間が経過した場合、真空ポンプ36およびガス発電ボイラー7からの加熱蒸気の供給を停止し、大気開放バルブ36aを開放して大気圧状態とする。一方、撹拌シャフト32を逆回転させ、タンク30の排出部30bの蓋を開いて、タンク30から一次乾燥物を排出する。このとき、タンク30から排出される一次乾燥物は減容されている。 When a predetermined time elapses while maintaining the temperature and pressure in the tank 30 in this way, the supply of heated steam from the vacuum pump 36 and the gas power generation boiler 7 is stopped, and the atmosphere release valve 36a is opened. It is in an atmospheric pressure state. On the other hand, the stirring shaft 32 is rotated in the reverse direction, the lid of the discharge portion 30b of the tank 30 is opened, and the primary dried product is discharged from the tank 30. At this time, the volume of the primary dried product discharged from the tank 30 is reduced.

次に、前記二次減圧発酵乾燥機3’に一次乾燥物が投入され、その一次乾燥物の二次減圧発酵乾燥処理の手順は、ほぼ一次減圧発酵乾燥処理と同じであるので、その詳細については省略する。このようにして、前記二次減圧発酵乾燥機3’の排出部30’bから二次乾燥物を排出することができる。 Next, the primary dried product is put into the secondary vacuum fermentation dryer 3', and the procedure for the secondary vacuum fermentation drying process of the primary dried product is almost the same as that for the primary vacuum fermentation drying process. Is omitted. In this way, the secondary dried product can be discharged from the discharge unit 30'b of the secondary vacuum fermentation dryer 3'.

そして、図5に示すように前記二次減圧発酵乾燥機3’によって二次減圧発酵乾燥処理された二次乾燥物は、排出コンベア41によって、選別装置4へ向けて搬送される。つまり、排出コンベア41によって、二次減圧発酵乾燥機3’のタンク30’下部の排出部30’bから排出される二次乾燥物を、排出部30bよりも高い位置に設けられた選別装置4まで搬送する。選別装置4によって、減圧発酵乾燥装置Aによる減圧発酵乾燥処理では分解されない異物、具体的には、プラスチックや金属等を取り除くようにしている。 Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the secondary dried product subjected to the secondary vacuum fermentation drying process by the secondary vacuum fermentation dryer 3'is conveyed to the sorting device 4 by the discharge conveyor 41. That is, the sorting device 4 provided by the discharge conveyor 41 at a position higher than the discharge unit 30b for the secondary dried material discharged from the discharge unit 30'b at the lower part of the tank 30'of the secondary vacuum fermentation dryer 3'. Transport to. The sorting device 4 removes foreign substances, specifically plastics and metals, which are not decomposed by the vacuum fermentation and drying treatment by the vacuum fermentation and drying apparatus A.

選別装置4は、図6に概略を示すように、磁選機42と振動ふるい機43とを備えている。磁選機42は、例えば吊り下げ式のもので、排出コンベア41上に吊り下げられている。磁選機42は、排出コンベア41によって搬送される乾燥物の中から金具や、鉄片等の磁性物(黒丸で示す)を磁石によって吸着し、プーリ42a間を移動するベルト42bによって連続的に排出容器42cへ排出するように構成されている。磁選機42によって、乾燥物に混入している金具や、鉄片等の金属が除去される。 The sorting device 4 includes a magnetic separator 42 and a vibration sieving machine 43, as outlined in FIG. The magnetic separator 42 is, for example, a hanging type, and is suspended on a discharge conveyor 41. The magnetic separator 42 attracts a metal fitting, a magnetic material such as an iron piece (indicated by a black circle) from the dried material conveyed by the discharge conveyor 41 by a magnet, and continuously discharges the container by a belt 42b moving between the pulleys 42a. It is configured to discharge to 42c. The magnetic separator 42 removes metal fittings and metals such as iron pieces mixed in the dried product.

振動ふるい機43は、二次減圧発酵乾燥機3’から排出され、排出コンベア41によって搬送された二次乾燥物から、大き目の異物をふるい分けるものである。振動ふるい機43には、所定の大きさの網目(開口部)を有する金網43aと、金網43aを振動させる振動モータ43bとを備えている。振動ふるい機43は、複数(例えば4つ)のコイルばね43cによって下台43dに支持されている。また、金網43aが斜め下方に向けて傾斜した状態で設けられており、金網43aの一端側(図6の左端側)が、他端側(図6の右端側)よりも低い位置に設けられている。本実施形態では、金網43aの網目が、5mm×5mmの大きさに設定されている。なお、網目のサイズは一例であって、他の値であってもよい。振動ふるい機43によって、二次乾燥物に混入しているプラスチック等の異物が選別される。 The vibrating sieving machine 43 sifts a large foreign substance from the secondary dried material discharged from the secondary vacuum fermentation dryer 3'and conveyed by the discharge conveyor 41. The vibration sieving machine 43 includes a wire mesh 43a having a mesh (opening) of a predetermined size, and a vibration motor 43b that vibrates the wire mesh 43a. The vibration sieving machine 43 is supported on the lower base 43d by a plurality of (for example, four) coil springs 43c. Further, the wire mesh 43a is provided in a state of being inclined diagonally downward, and one end side (left end side in FIG. 6) of the wire mesh 43a is provided at a position lower than the other end side (right end side in FIG. 6). ing. In the present embodiment, the mesh of the wire mesh 43a is set to a size of 5 mm × 5 mm. The mesh size is an example and may be another value. The vibrating sieving machine 43 sorts out foreign substances such as plastic mixed in the secondary dried product.

このように、振動ふるい機43は、コイルばね43cによって下台43dに対しフローティング支持されているので、振動モータ43bの駆動により、排出コンベア41から金網43aに供給された乾燥物がふるい分けられる。具体的には、二次乾燥物は、金網43aの網目を通過して、下方に落下し、振動ふるい機43の下方に配置された貯留容器44に貯留される。一方、プラスチック等の大き目の異物は、金網43aの網目を通過できないため、金網43aの傾斜面に沿って滑り落ちたり、転がり落ちたりしながら一端側(前方側)へ移動し、振動ふるい機43の前方下方に配置された排出容器43eに排出される。このように、上述したように、減圧発酵乾燥装置Aにより発酵乾燥され、減容されることによって乾燥物は、ふるい分けに適したものになっており、異物以外の乾燥物がほとんど金網43aの網目を通過して、貯留容器44に貯留されるようになっている。 As described above, since the vibration sieving machine 43 is floatingly supported by the coil spring 43c with respect to the lower base 43d, the dried material supplied from the discharge conveyor 41 to the wire mesh 43a is sieved by the driving of the vibration motor 43b. Specifically, the secondary dried product passes through the mesh of the wire mesh 43a, falls downward, and is stored in the storage container 44 arranged below the vibrating sieve 43. On the other hand, since a large foreign substance such as plastic cannot pass through the mesh of the wire mesh 43a, it slides down or rolls down along the inclined surface of the wire mesh 43a and moves to one end side (front side), and the vibration sieving machine 43. It is discharged to the discharge container 43e arranged in the front lower part of the above. As described above, as described above, the dried product is fermented and dried by the vacuum fermentation drying device A and the volume is reduced, so that the dried product is suitable for sieving, and most of the dried products other than foreign substances are the mesh of the wire mesh 43a. Is to be stored in the storage container 44 after passing through.

このように、二次乾燥物から金属片やプラスチックなどの異物が除去され、貯留容器44には良質な有機肥料が貯留される。なお、本発明の実施例では最終工程で製造される廃棄物を有価物としての有機肥料として利用しているが、添加物を配合することにより、廃棄物を有価物である家畜用の有機飼料や、養殖用の有機飼料として利用してもよい。 In this way, foreign substances such as metal pieces and plastics are removed from the secondary dried product, and high-quality organic fertilizer is stored in the storage container 44. In the embodiment of the present invention, the waste produced in the final process is used as an organic fertilizer as a valuable resource, but by adding an additive, the waste is an organic feed for livestock which is a valuable resource. Or, it may be used as an organic feed for cultivation.

今回、開示した実施形態は全ての点で例示であって、限定的な解釈の根拠となるものではない。本発明の技術的範囲は、前記した実施形態のみによって解釈されるものではなく、特許請求の範囲の記載に基づいて画定される。また、本発明の技術的範囲には、特許請求の範囲と均等の意味および範囲内での全ての変更が含まれる。 The embodiments disclosed this time are exemplary in all respects and are not grounds for limited interpretation.
