Title: Method for the production of a liquid fertiliser and a biogas plant for the implementation of the method
Inventor: LIEBENEINER ROLF
IPC: C12M1/34
Filed: 2014-07-04
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a liquid fertilising agent and a biogas plant for performing the method. Percolate must be sanitised in order that the percolate can be applied to fields as liquid fertiliser. From both GB 2407088 A and EP 2275526 A2, biogas plants having a solids digester and a percolate circuit are known. The process control in the percolate tanks can be thermophilic, so that the percolate is also sanitised in the percolate tank or percolate tanks. However, the percolate tank is part of the percolate circuit, i.e., sanitised percolate is fed back into the digester and is thereby recontaminated. By providing a percolate tank and a sanitising tank that are different components, the sanitising can be performed independently of and in parallel with the percolate circuit, the circulation of percolate between the digester and the percolate tank. That is, whenever excess percolate accumulates, the excess percolate can be transferred to the sanitising tank and sanitised there while separated from the percolate in the percolate circuit. Thus, surplus percolate that accumulates can be sanitised even while biogas is being produced in the digester. Also, the separation between the percolate tank and the sanitising tank prevents percolate that has already been sanitised from becoming recontaminated. Therefore, the sanitising has to be performed only "once".
