Abstract
Methane is produced by intensively comminuting and homogenizing town garbage to form a mass having a moisture content lower than 60 per cent and which is porous enough to admit of having gases passed therethrough and heating the mass in a closed silo to a temperature at which methane fermentation commences. The comminution and homogenization may be carried out by rotation in drums. In an example, intensively comminuted and homogenized town garbage is introduced into a closed silo which has a take-off pipe for methane. The silo is heated to about 30 DEG C. when fermentation commences to form methane. When fermentation is substantially complete the mass is removed from the silo and the greater part used as an agricultural compost whilst a smaller part is used to inoculate a fresh mass introduced into the silo. The efficiency of the method may be increased by passing hydrogen gas and/or carbonic oxides (CO or CO2), e.g. coke-oven gas, through the fermenting mass. The upper portion of the silo may be re-filled with a further mass of intensively comminuted and homogenized town garbage while partially emptying the lower portion thereof.ALSO:An organic fertiliser is formed during the production of methane by intensively comminuting and homogenising town garbage to form a mass having a moisture content lower than 60 per cent. and which is porous enough of having gases passed therethrough and heating the mass in a closed silo to a temperature at which methane fermentation commences, (see Group IV (b)). The commination and homogenisation may be carried out by rotation in drums. In an example intensively comminuted and homogenised town garbage is introduced into a closed silo which has a take off pipe for methane. The silo is heated to about 30 DEG C. when fermentation commences to form methane. When fermentation is substantially complete the mass is removed from the silo and the greater part used as an agricultural compost whilst a smaller part is used to inoculate a fresh mass introduced into the silo. The efficiency of the method is increased by passing hydrogen gas and/or carbonic oxides (CO or CO2), e.g. coke-oven gas, through the fermenting mass. The upper portion of the silo may be refilled with a further mass of intensively comminuted and homogenised town garbage while partially emptying the lower portion thereof.
