Abstract:
A process for optimizing the operation of a plug-flow fermenter for the anaerobic fermentation of organic wastes, wherein the plug-flow fermenter comprises a horizontally oriented fermenter tank and a stirrer, which stirrer comprises a stirrer shaft which traverses the interior of the fermenter tank in an axial manner and multiple paddles which are arranged on the stirrer shaft and protrude radially and also a drive, and the fermentation material is moved in the fermenter tank by means of the stirrer.

Claim (Index 10):
A plug-flow fermenter for the anaerobic fermentation of organic wastes, wherein the plug-flow fermenter comprises a horizontally oriented fermenter tank and a stirrer, which stirrer comprises a stirrer shaft which traverses the interior of the fermenter tank and multiple paddles which are arranged on the stirrer shaft and protrude radially and also a drive and which stirrer is suited to moving the fermentation material in the fermenter tank, wherein the plug-flow fermenter additionally comprises at least one measurement mechanism for the determination of at least one parameter characteristic of the particular operating state of the plug-flow fermenter as well as adjustment means designed to adjust the rotational speed of the stirrer shaft, the rotational direction of the stirrer shaft and/or the dry-substance portion of the fermentation material on the basis of the measurement value obtained or the deviation of the measurement value from a predefined nominal value.
