METHOD OF PROCESSING ORGANIC WASTES AND BIOGAS PLANT THEREFOR Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC C12M1/107 C12M1/36 C02F11/04 

FIELD: biochemistry.

SUBSTANCE: disclosed is a biogas plant and a method of processing organic wastes. Biogas plant comprises a receiving tank, biomass preprocessing unit, feed pipe, drain pipe, gas holder, a compressor, a group of concurrently operating bioreactors. Inlet pipes of bioreactors are connected to feed pipe through a system of distribution pipelines, outlet pipes of bioreactors are connected with drain pipe via a drain pipeline system. Gas discharge pipes of bioreactors are connected to gas holder via gas pipeline system, wherein drain pipe is equipped with a hydraulic pump and is connected to a drain vessel via a hydraulic lock. Each of bioreactors comprises bearing elements with populated microorganisms. Bearing elements are cylindrical frames. Cylindrical frames are maintained at a distance of 3-6 cm from each other. Method involves preparation of biomass, feeding prepared biomass into a group of single-type bioreactors, creating descending partial streams of biomass and maintaining constant level of biomass in bioreactors.

EFFECT: invention increases amount of processed raw materials and increases specific capacity per unit volume of bioreactor.
