Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing biogas from biomass using a microorganism of the species Paenibacillus macerans.
  • Biogas plants produce methane through a microbial decomposition process of organic substances.
  • the biogas is produced in a multi-stage process of fermentation or digestion by the activity of anaerobic microorganisms, i. in the absence of air.
  • the organic material used as fermentation substrate has a high molecular structure from a chemical point of view, which is degraded in the individual process steps of a biogas plant by metabolic activity of microorganisms to low molecular weight building blocks.
  • the populations of microorganisms which are active in the fermentation of the organic fermentation substrate have hitherto been insufficiently characterized.
  • exoenzymes eg cellulases, amylases, proteases, lipases
  • soluble fission products For example, fats are broken down into fatty acids, carbohydrates, such as polysaccharides, into oligo- and monosaccharides and proteins into oligopeptides or amino acids.

  • short-chain alcohols such as ethanol
  • acetogenesis such as acetic acid but also other substrates such as methanol and formate are converted by methane-forming organisms in the obligate anaerobic methanogenesis to methane and CO 2 .
  • Increasing the yield of end products from a given amount of starting materials, as in any chemical reaction, is an urgent goal of process control even in the case of biogas production.
  • biogas production from biomass this means that from a given amount of organic fermentation substrate a large amount of methane should be formed.
  • the highest possible space load of the fermenter should be achieved.
  • the volume loading of a fermenter is the amount of substrate fed to the fermenter, expressed in kilograms of dry organic matter per cubic meter of fermenter volume and per day.
  • the amount of biogas produced depends strongly on the volume load of the fermenter, with increasing space load an increasingly larger amount of biogas is generated.
  • a high space load makes the process of biogas production increasingly economically viable, but on the other hand leads to an increasing destabilization of the biological processes of fermentation.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method for the production of biogas, which allows a comparison with the prior art increased space load of the fermentation reactor.
  • the present invention provides a method for producing biogas from biomass in a fermentation reactor.
  • the biomass is added to a microorganism of the species Paenibacillus macerans.
  • the addition of a microorganism of the species Paenibacillus macerans causes an increase in the space load of a fermenter by more than 50%, without any instability of the fermentation process would occur. Parallel to the increased volume of space, the amount of biogas produced is more than doubled. In addition, the specific yield of biogas increases, since significantly more of the organic dry matter is degraded than in the absence of addition of microorganisms of the species Paenibacillus macerans. Due to the increased degree of degradation, a significantly increased specific gas yield can be achieved with improved substrate utilization.
  • the residence time of the fermentation substrate in the fermenter can be significantly shortened with constant gas yield, which makes it possible to increase the volume load.
  • the use of microorganisms of the species Paenibacillus macerans therefore leads to a dramatic improvement in the efficiency and efficiency of biogas plants.
  • Fermentation for the purposes of the present invention includes both anaerobic and aerobic material conversions by the action of microorganisms that lead to the production of biogas. This explanation of the term “fermentation” is given under the heading "fermentation in the Römpp Chemistry Lexicon in the 9th, extended edition, published by Georg Thieme Verlag on page 1306, to which reference is hereby made in full.
  • the specific yield of biogas produced is calculated from the amount of biogas produced divided by the amount of organic dry matter.
  • the amount of biogas produced depends strongly on the amount of substrate supplied, ie on the amount of organic dry matter, which is given in kilograms of organic dry matter. If instabilities of the fermentation process occur, the specific gas yield decreases.

By the raised Degradation can be achieved a significantly increased specific gas yield with improved substrate utilization.
