Patent ID: 11085058

Abstract:
This invention is about a process of increased Biogas (9) production, with high methane content, in anaerobic biodigestion plants, with production of electric (11) and thermal energy. The process is based upon biotechnologies, hardware and software specifically developed for this aim. One or more Devices for the Acceleration (4) of autochthon methanogenic bacteria multiplication, originally contained in the Organic Wastes (1), collect a portion of the biological material from the Anaerobic Biodigester (3) and, successively, gives it back at a higher rate, with its methanogenic bacteria population remarkably multiplied. The increase and stabilization of the reproduction and nutrition of these bacterial strains allows the increase of the biogas produced in the Anaerobic Biodigester (3) along with the percentage of methane contained in this very Biogas (9). The process is managed by an automation Expert System (5) which controls the biological, chemical and physical variables and that supervises the Automation and Control System (6) of the plant, providing commands and recipes also for the Compost (7) production system and for the Waste Water Treatment and Slurry Separation (8).
