Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fermentation, in particular to a straw microaerobic-anaerobic integrated biogas fermentation device. Background Art

[0002] In agricultural production, after crop harvest, a large amount of straw waste is generated. Proper straw disposal poses a major challenge. Both direct burning and crushing and returning to the field have significant drawbacks. Anaerobic straw fermentation, through microbial decomposition and metabolism, ultimately produces combustible gases. This not only avoids environmental pollution but also generates economic benefits. Furthermore, micro-aerobic treatment during the straw hydrolysis and acidification process can effectively increase the hydrolysis rate and biogas production.

[0003] Patent CN117887560A describes a straw anaerobic fermentation device, which relates to the field of straw processing technology. It includes a straw crushing component, a processing component, and an insulated fermentation tank. It can process the original straw into small pieces of straw and then into a paste-like straw, thereby improving the fermentation speed and efficiency of straw, shortening the fermentation cycle, and having a good treatment effect on straw. Patent CN213570455U describes a straw biogas fermentation device. A hot stewing tank is added before the fermentation tank. The hot stewing tank includes a hot stewing sealed chamber and a stirring device to achieve hot stewing of the straw fragments. Before fermentation, it can accelerate the destruction of the wood structure of the plant straw cell wall, which is conducive to increasing the fermentation rate. Patent CN116216924A describes an anaerobic digestion system with side stream micro-aeration coupled with mainstream electric drive, which relates to the field of anaerobic digestion treatment technology. It includes a side stream micro-aeration reactor and a mainstream MEC reactor.
