There are many customers who can install medium-scale or small-scale methane fermentation systems. However, for these customers, the amount of funds that can be invested in system equipment costs is relatively small, and it may be difficult to
Since the 1lIII rating and construction costs of the methane fermentation tank itself generally account for a very large proportion of the total cost of the methane fermentation system, the cost performance of the methane fermentation tank holds the key to whether or not the methane fermentation system can be introduced.

In the above methane fermentation tank, the water intake port 3 for circulating fermentation liquid is
3 is pumped up by the stirring pump 29, and is sprayed inside and outside the heating internal hot water coil 31 from the discharge pipe port 34. The sprayed fermentation liquid is heated while passing inside or outside of the heating internal hot water coil 3, and descends again toward the fermentation liquid circulation suction port 33. In this way, stirring and heating are efficiently repeated.

As described above, the present invention provides an insertion port with a removable flange at the top of a cylindrical horizontal tank, and a heater and a stirrer are disposed within a support frame, and a spacer is provided at the top of the support frame. The heating/stirring unit is inserted into the tank through the insertion port, and the spacer is removably attached to the detachable flange, so it is possible to easily adjust the temperature of the fermentation liquid and the climate of cold or warm regions. The number of heating/stirring units can be freely selected depending on various conditions such as conditions.

また、加温・攪拌ユニットは、夕/りに対し取付・取外
