Analysis of problems with dry fermentation process for biogas production

Abstract

The technology of dry anaerobic fermentation is still meeting with some scepticism, and therefore in most biogas plants are used wet fermentation technology. Fermentation process would be not complete without an optimal controlled condition: dry matter content, density, pH, and in particular the reaction temperature. If is distrust of dry fermentation eligible it was on the workplace of the Department of Power Engineering at University of Zilina built an experimental small-scale biogas station that allows analysis of optimal parameters of the dry anaerobic fermentation, in particular, however, affect the reaction temperature on yield and quality of biogas.

Design of a Heat Exchanger Made of Gravity Heat Pipes with an Enlarged Heat Exchange Surface for Heat Dissipation from the Electrical Cabinet

“…Measuring unit is used in experimental measurements for converting signal of measuring sensors [8,9]. For the accurate measurement in experimental measurements is necessary sensors calibration [10,11,12].The output of the measuring unit is connected to a laptop, which wrote all measured values from the experimental device every 15 s via measuring software.…”

Influence of Selected Parameters on the Rate Nucleation of Methane Hydrates

“…This unconventional energy source is currently destined for the distant path to energy efficiency. Storing energy in a suitable form for safe storage and its subsequent release is a current challenge in processes that use the need to store energy [1].…”
