Disclosed is a bioreactor in which a supporting wall (100) or a retaining mechanism (100) that represents pressure relief for a gas-tightly embodied flap is provided behind the flap (14) used for filling and emptying the bioreactor while percolate is prevented from accumulating between the gas-tight flap and the retaining mechanism. The gas-tightly closable flap, which has a sufficiently large size, makes it easy to fill biomass into the container and remove the remaining biomass following the methanation process. The biomass applies substantial or at least a certain amount of pressure to the retaining system when the container is closed, whereby the flap is relieved of the load and can be embodied in a light and accurately sealing manner. A device (22) for draining percolating juice or percolate is disposed in the floor and/or the walls of the bioreactor between the flap and the retaining system such that percolating juice is prevented from accumulating in the zone between the flap and the retaining system or percolate located there can be pumped off before the flap is opened.
This application is a United States National Stage Application under 35 U.S.C. §371 of International Patent Application No. PCT/EP2006/008794, filed Sep. 8, 2006, which claims the benefit to German Patent Application No. 20 2005 014 176.3, filed Sep. 8, 2005, each of which is incorporated by reference into this application as if fully set forth herein.
According to a further advantageous configuration of the invention, the digester is constructed in the manner of a prefabricated garage using reinforced concrete. The open side of the “prefabricated garage” is closed in a gas-tight manner by the shutter. This results in a very cost-effective construction.
FIG. 4 c shows a detail of the illustration in FIG. 4 b;
FIG. 4 d shows a detail-form illustration corresponding to FIG. 4 c, but with an alternative configuration of the frame;
FIG. 4 a shows a plan view of the digester 2 with the shutter 14 closed. FIG. 4 b shows a sectional view of the digester as seen along plane A-A in FIG. 4 a, the open shutter 14 being additionally depicted by dashed lines. A sealing hose 130 is fastened all the way round the peripheral region of the shutter 14. In the closed state, the shutter 14 engages in a frame 132—see FIG. 4 c—in relation to which the shutter 14 is sealed by virtue of the sealing hose 130 being pumped up to 6 bar.
4. The bioreactor of claim 1, characterized in that the retaining arrangement extends only over part of the entire width of the digester, said extending width corresponds to a loading opening which can be closed by the shutter.
