Description

Technical field

The solution relates to an organic waste treatment plant and a method for treating non-consumable organic waste into an ecologically renewable energy source or a secondary source of nutrients for agricultural production.

Prior art

In Slovakia, the activities of agricultural, food, pharmaceutical and water companies generate waste characterized in accordance with the Waste Act 79/2015 Coll. As (O) "other".

These are the following types of waste:

02 Wastes from agriculture, horticulture, forestry, hunting and fishing, aquaculture and food production and processing 03 Wastes from wood processing and from the production of paper, cardboard, pulp, lumber and furniture 18 Wastes from health or veterinary care or related research, except kitchen and restaurant wastes not arising from direct health care 19 Wastes from off-site treatment plants, off-site waste water treatment plants and drinking water and industrial water treatment plants 20 Municipal wastes (household wastes and similar wastes from trade, industry and institutions) including their components from separate collection

The basic part of these wastes are organic components making up 30-90% of their composition.

Various solutions for the treatment of organic waste are known from practice.

Solid waste is usually disposed of in four ways:

1. Managed landfill:

- Although it is the least suitable way of disposing of waste, it disposes of about 70-90% of the world's waste by suction.

2. Combustion:

- the most modern method of disposal.

3. Composting:

- can replace industrial fertilizers.

4. Waste treatment:

- allows to use waste as a secondary raw material (recycling), the condition for reuse of waste is its sorting.

Many ways and technologies of waste processing god presented at the conference Industrial Emissions 2018, which took place in Bratislava in October 2018. At the conference, for example, prof. Ing. Igor Bodík, PhD., Department of Environmental Engineering FCFT STU, with a presentation on the topic "Removal of priority substances and micropollutants from wastewater by degradation processes" or prof. Ing. Ján Derco, DrSc., Department of Environmental Engineering FCFT STU, with the topic "Strategies for anaerobic treatment of biodegradable waste with a high content of nitrogen and sulfur".

The most common way of processing organic waste is its storage and composting, based on the gradual decomposition of waste.

Due to the high proportion of organic matter, such wastes are a product with a very unpleasant accompanying odor, especially in the process of landfilling or composting, where the organic part of the waste is decomposed for a long time by natural organic decomposition (digestion), followed by waste gases. These gases usually escape freely into the air, which has an annoying impact on the environment, especially on populated residential areas. In addition to odor, such gases also increase the content of harmful greenhouse gases in the air.

A significant part of organic waste also contains other harmful substances, the so-called ..micropollutants. which enter organic waste by excretion from the digestive tract of animals, humans (eg steroid and antibiotic drugs), but also from agricultural production (eg herbicides, pesticide spray}). These substances are harmful to the environment and highly problematic, as they are non-degradable by conventional methods, and thus become part of the water cycle.

The essence of the technical solution

The aim of the presented technical solution is to ensure such processing of organic waste, which removes the odor during storage and processing of waste and at the same time will be ecological.

The basis of the processing of organic waste according to this solution is the maximum possible biodegradation of waste into gas in a short time interval and in a spatially controlled processing process. Enzymes are used to process waste.

The organic waste treatment plant has three separate stainless steel chambers located inside it, each of the chambers having its own pressure relief valve and internal heating pipe coils for heating the chambers. The chambers are interconnected by piping, and this is further connected to the mixing parts of the device driven by a compressor

The mixing parts of the device are connected via a valve and a hose system subsequently placed to the external sealing path for discharging the cured nut of the treated waste, the device being connected at the outlet to an external fermenter, dofermentor or to an external biogas plant.

In the first step of waste treatment, pre-preparation is performed: first waste samples are taken from the whole waste generation process in the waste producer's plant, and based on them the basic waste parameters are evaluated: PH, dry matter content, nitrogen content as total N, phosphorus content as total P, content of hazardous substances in the sense of the Waste Act and values of micropollutants.

In the second step, a waste test is performed and its subsequent biodegradation under laboratory conditions, where the exact effective dose of enzymes and the exact composition and proportions of enzymes for the given waste samples are determined.

In the third step, a set dose of enzymes is delivered to the waste producer. In each waste producer's waste generation process, the ratio and dosage of the enzyme mixture is determined. The dose of enzymes thus determined is then added daily by the producer to the processes in which the waste is generated. After the time of waste retention in the producer's production in the interval from 24 hours to 30 days, the cnzy mother of the treated waste is discharged into the built-in stationary or mobile mixing device.

The treatment of the treated waste matrix is performed immediately to avoid an uncontrolled gas generation process. The device is connected to the producer's route for discharging the enzymatically treated waste through a hose system through a subsequently located valve on the chamber system by suction suction into the first two chambers. Simultaneously with the suction process, the process of heating the chambers is started, this process lasts until the filling of both chambers and until the operating temperature of 65 ° C is reached. This is followed by the opening of chamber number three and the start of the circulation process. Chamber number three contains the enzyme ready to be mixed into two full chambers. Subsequent mixing and circulation of all three chambers makes the mixture ready for transfer to the biogas of the new plant.

Stirring of the mixture takes 10 hours, with constant heating of the chambers and maintaining maximum operating conditions to ensure enzyme activity. During the mixing process, gases are formed, which are balanced in all pressure chambers by a relief valve. During the mixing process, a slight foam is formed in the total height above the level of up to approx. 10 cm.

In the next step, the pH of the prepared mixture is measured. A sample was taken from the mixture, cooled to 20 ° C and the pH was measured. The required pH should be in the range of 6.5 ± 0.2. In case of sapH deviation, it is treated with ferric chloride or 24 wt. ammonia water.

The mixing process is then stopped, the mixing parts of the device are connected via a valve and a hose to the pipeline of the producer, followed by a slow discharge from the chambers to the fermenter. The discharge takes several hours to regulate the pressure so that the foam does not exceed the permissible level value up to 10 cm. This is followed by the gasification phase of the mixture. The residence time of the mixture in the recipient's fermenter is 20-30 days with constant stirring.

In the next step, the mixture is transferred to the recipient's dofermentor or to the final storage of the external biogas plant. This is followed by a residence time of 60-90 days. Then it is necessary to ensure the drainage of water.

In the last step, a sample of the residual mass is taken for analysis and evaluation of its parameters in accordance with the Act on Fertilizers - as a secondary source of nutrients.

In this technical solution, the processing of waste will create an ecologically renewable source of nutrients with primary energy consumption and subsequent secondary consumption of nutrients in agriculture.

Organic waste treatment facilities can be mobile.

Before the start of the processing process, waste samples are taken from the entire waste generation process at the waste producer's plant, the basic waste parameters are evaluated: PH, dry matter content, nitrogen content as total N, phosphorus content as total P, hazardous substances content such as arsenic , calcium, cadmium, chromium, copper, mercury, potassium, K2O, magnesium, nickel, lead, selenium, wetting, values of micropollutants.

This is followed by a test of the waste and its biodegradation under laboratory conditions by discontinuous mesophilic anaerobic digestion without agitation (BMP - Biochemical Methane Potential test) using bank bioreactors. The procedure is based on the ČSN EN ISO 11734 standard, or on the methodological instructions of RNDr. Drummer. The reactors are located in an aqueous medium at a temperature of 40 ° C ± 0.5 ° C. Two bio reactors are used to determine endogenous biogas and methane production. During 40 days, the temperature (biogas temperature), barometric pressure and biogas volume increase are recorded. With a sufficient amount of biogas in the burette (above 150 nu), the measurement of methane content is performed by a portable biogas analyzer Geotechnical Instruments (UK) Ltd. "Biogas5000" with dual infrared sensors CH4 (0 - 70% ± 0.5%) and CO2 (0 - 60% ± 0.5%) and electrochemical sensors 02 (0 - 25% ± 1.0%), H2 ( 0 - 2000 ppm ± 2.0% FS) and H2S (0 - 5000 ppm ± 2.0% FS) with a Geotech Biogas5000 analyzer (CH4 0 - 70% ± 0.5%). The pH was measured with a WTW 340i with a SenTix41 probe, a KERN DLB 160 3A moisture analyzer with a halogen lamp was used for drying, and annealing was performed with a LEČO TGA 701 thermogravimetric analyzer. The enzyme dose was determined in relation to gas formation and dry matter content.

Table 1 Composition of the enzyme mixture, example

In the third step, the set dose of the mixture is transferred to the waste producer. The dose of enzymes thus determined is added daily to the waste generation processes, with the ratio and dosage of the enzyme mixture being determined in each waste generation process. The retention time of the waste in the producer's production from 24 hours to 30 days is followed by the discharge of the treated waste into the attached organic waste treatment plant. The device can be mobile. The mobile mixing device has a mixing capacity of 30 m ^{3 of} waste per day divided into three separate stainless steel chambers. By gradual suction, the waste is sucked into the first two chambers with a total suction capacity of 5 m ³ / hour.

The treatment of organic waste is carried out by connecting the mixing device 5 to the external pipeline 7 of the producer, from where the treated waste 8 is introduced into the device via an external hose system 9 and a first valve 10, the waste 8 being sucked into the first two chambers by successive suction. into the first chamber 1a of the small enzyme chamber 1b, and in parallel with the suction process, the process of heating the chambers 1a, 1b is started, this process lasting a total of 3-5 hours until both chambers are completely filled and reach their operating temperature of 65 ° C. Then the third chamber 1c is opened and the process of circulating the mixture in all chambers begins, the third chamber 1c containing the enzymatic mixing into two full chambers 1a, 1b. The waste 8 is further processed by stirring, circulating in all three chambers, the stirring lasting 10 hours with constant heating of the chambers in which the operating conditions are maintained to maintain the activity of the enzyme. The gases formed during mixing are equilibrated in all pressure chambers through their relief valve 2. After mixing, a sample is taken from the mixture, cooled to 20 ° C and its pH is measured, if the measured pH of the mixture is not within 6,5 ± 0, 2, the pH is adjusted by adding ferric chloride or 24 wt. ammonia water. The mixing process is then stopped and the mixing parts 5 of the device are connected via a first valve 10 and subsequently an external hose system 9 to the external pipeline 7 of the producer and slowly discharges the treated waste mixture 8 from the chambers to the fermenter 14, 3 hours with controlled process pressure. . This is followed by the gasification phase of the mixture, the residence time of the mixture in the fermenter 14 of the recipient being 20-30 days. Subsequently, the mixture is transferred to an external dofermentor 13 or to the final external storage of the biogas plant 14, where there is still a residence time of 60-90 days. This time is followed by the pumping of water and then a sample of the residual mass is taken for analysis and evaluation of the parameters of the sample as a secondary source of nutrients.

LIGNO KAL, for example, is used as the waste treatment enzyme. The activity of the anaerobic environment of the LIGNO KAL enzyme is such that it processes 1.38% of organic matter per day with constant stirring. In this case, the waste 8 contained in the chambers 1a, 1b is mixed with the enzyme of constant mixing of the mixture and the mixed gases are balanced by the relief valve 2 in all pressure chambers 1a, 1b, 1c so that the amount of gases formed is kept between 250 m ³ to 550 m ³ / m ^{3 of} mixture.
