Title:
TRANSPORT DEVICE FOR BIOMASS, FOR USE IN A FERMENTER FOR GENERATING BIOGAS AND LARGE-SCALE FERMENTER FOR GENERATING BIOGAS FROM BIOMASS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005085411
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a transport device for biomass (22), in particular for sustainable vegetable products, said device being used in a fermenter (2) for generating biogas, whereby the latter is used to continuously operate the large-scale fermenter (2), according to the principles of the methanation of solid matter. The transport device (20) comprises a plurality of adjacent transport cushions (24-i), which are successively filled with liquid and then emptied. This generates a wave motion that transports the biomass (22) from a charging zone (10) through the fermenter (2) to a discharging zone (14). The invention also relates to a large-scale fermenter comprising a transport device (20) of this type.
