At the laboratory biogas plant started the first experiment

At the laboratory biogas plant Belgorod Institute of alternative energy is put first experiment - with samples of raw materials, employing biogas plant.

The object of the experiments were waste meat processing plant (kishkomplekt crushed), silage from four different trenches, as well as whey. Biogas plant (including "Lucky", located in the district of Prokhorovka, Belgorod region, the largest in the country), are processed into fertilizer and biomethane almost any waste, but does not allow mixed load to determine the accuracy of biogas per kilogram of organic component of a other raw materials. Not to mention the subtle dimensions such as differences in production of silage is stored in several different conditions. Laboratory biogas plant will provide the most reliable answers.

For each experimental sample of raw materials necessary to use nine minifermentatorov. In the three put the seed material (bacteria that can develop during the life of biogas), three - the seed material and cellulose, which is taken as a standard value needed for benchmarking biogas. And three minifermentatorah - actual sample material. Thus, at the present time in the laboratory biogas plant experiment is conducted in 54 of the 120 minifermentatorov. To evaluate the results of this experiment will be possible after the completion of the cycle of anaerobic digestion of samples, which can last from 25 to 90 days.

Developed by a laboratory setting solutions will be used to improve the efficiency and reduce the cost of operation of biogas plants.
