Abstract

PURPOSE:To carry out the methane fermentation in high efficiency, using seaweeds mixed with sea water as a raw material, by removing the sulfate ions from the sea water, and subjecting the seaweeds to the biochemical solubilization. CONSTITUTION:Seaweeds 1 containing sea water are roughly crushed and sent to the precipitator 4, in which a calcium compound and an alkaline substance are added to the seaweeds and the precipitated gypsum is separated. The seaweeds are finely crushed (6), and sent to the biochemical solubilization tank 7, in which the seaweeds are slurried by the biochemical solutilization process, and a large amount of organic acids are produced. The solubilized raw material is introduced into the methane fermentation tank 1, and the methane fermentation is carried out. The generated gas is sent to the users 9, a part of the residual liquid or solid is sent through the line 11 to the tank 7 as seed bacteria, and the residual part is sent to the dehydrator 10.

Seaweed 1 mixed with seawater is first crushed 2 and then sent to a sedimentation separator 4. The sedimentation separator 4 contains enough calcium to convert and precipitate sulfate ions in seawater into gypsum, and to neutralize acidic substances that are produced as by-products during gypsum production when the calcium is an acid salt. and an alkaline substance that neutralizes the alkaline calcium salts in unreacted calcium.

In the biochemical solubilization tank 7, the seaweed is biochemically solubilized to form a slurry, and at this time polyphonic organic acids are produced. If the operation in the sedimentation separator 4 is performed after the solubilization tank 70, a large amount of alkaline substance must first be added to neutralize the organic acid generated in the solubilization tank 7. However, since gypsum precipitation begins only after this neutralization, a huge amount of chemicals must be added.

The solubilized raw material is sent to the methane fermentation tank 8 and subjected to methane fermentation. As a starter for methane fermentation, for example, obtain a starter from a human waste anaerobic digestion tank, and acclimatize it with seaweed or its main component, alginic acid, and the salt derived from the above-mentioned sedimentation separator operation. The one that has been carried out will be used. Note that acclimatization to this salt content is performed by increasing the concentration one after another. It goes without saying that the methane-fermenting starter bacteria that has been adapted in this manner may be introduced at the time of starting operation of the methane fermenter 80, and that O supplementation is not necessary thereafter.

This methane fermentation residual liquid and residue contain a large amount of facultative bacteria in addition to methane bacteria, and when these are sent to the biochemical solubilization tank 7, there is a high concentration of organic acids in the tank 7. Because of this, methane bacteria die in a short period of time, while facultative bacteria continue to proliferate. Note that once the operation of the solubilization tank 7 is on track, there is no need to continuously supply seed bacteria, but there is a large amount of soluble salt that cannot be removed by the sedimentation separator 4 (more than the soluble salt of seawater). Therefore, in order to operate and stabilize the solubilization tank 7 under such high salinity conditions, it is necessary to supply seed bacteria even after the operation is on track.
