  • Publication number: 20140349364
    Abstract: A method for producing biogas by anaerobic digestion of organic matter may involve feeding organic matter suitable for biogas production to a first tank reactor, and in the first tank reactor, contacting the organic matter with biogas producing microorganisms for digestion under anaerobic conditions. The organic matter may be digested in the first tank reactor while producing biogas. The method may further involve providing digested sludge from an anaerobic digestion process in a second tank reactor, which differs from the first tank reactor, the digested sludge containing a desired composition of nutriments. The nutriments may be fed into the first tank reactor.

  • Publication number: 20140011267
    Abstract: A disintegrating system for treatment of organic material may include multiple disintegrating units, each having an inlet for receiving material, and an outlet for outputting treated material. A first inlet of a first disintegrating unit may be configured to receive organic material, and a first feedback pipe may be connected between the outlet of the first disintegrating unit and the inlet of a second disintegrating unit. An outflow of the disintegrating system may be connected to the outlet of at least the first disintegrating unit, wherein the sum of the introduced material is available at the outflow.

  • Patent number: 7947484
    Abstract: A method of producing biogas by anaerobic digestion of organic matter may include adding cobalt, iron, and hydrochloric acid to an organic matter; bringing the organic matter in contact with biogas-producing bacteria; and digesting the organic matter under anaerobic conditions in a reactor while producing biogas and a digested sludge. A device for producing biogas may include a reactor being adapted for containing the organic matter in the form of a sludge while the sludge is digested. The device includes a feeding device for adding cobalt, iron, and hydrochloric acid to the organic matter, and an agitator for mixing the added cobalt, iron and hydrochloric acid with the organic matter. An additive, which is adapted for being added to a device for producing biogas by anaerobic digestion, may include cobalt, iron, and hydrochloric acid in an aqueous solution.

  • Patent number: 7927848
    Abstract: In a method of producing biogas by anaerobic digestion of organic matter, organic matter is dried to a dry solids content of at least 50% by weight TS and pelletized and then mixed with a liquid to form a slurry. The slurry is contacted with biogas-producing bacteria for digestion under anaerobic conditions in a reactor (102) while producing biogas.
