Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of biomass energy, and particularly relates to an integrated anaerobic fermentation self-heating system and method for producing biomethane. Background Art
[0002] Anaerobic fermentation technology is a process of using microorganisms to decompose organic substances under anaerobic conditions to produce biogas. The main components of biogas are methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), and it also contains a small amount of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), nitrogen (N2) and other trace gases. After purification and refinement, biogas can obtain high-purity biomethane, whose composition is similar to that of fossil natural gas and can be directly used for power generation, heating or as vehicle fuel. Anaerobic fermentation technology can not only effectively treat organic waste, but also produce clean energy. Therefore, it has been widely used in the fields of agricultural, industrial and municipal waste treatment.
[0003] Anaerobic fermentation is a complex biochemical process of urban and rural organic waste, which is usually divided into four stages: hydrolysis, acidification, acetification and methanation. In the hydrolysis stage, urban and rural organic waste is decomposed by microorganisms into simple soluble substances; in the acidification stage, these soluble substances are further converted into volatile fatty acids (such as acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid); in the acetification stage, volatile fatty acids are converted into acetic acid, hydrogen and carbon dioxide; finally, in the methanation stage, acetic acid and hydrogen are converted into methane and carbon dioxide by methanogens. The efficiency of anaerobic fermentation is affected by various factors, including temperature, pH value, organic load, stirring intensity and the design of the fermentation tank, etc. Among them, temperature is one of the key factors affecting fermentation efficiency. According to the suitable growth temperature of microorganisms, anaerobic fermentation can be divided into mesophilic fermentation (30 - 40 °C) and thermophilic fermentation (50 - 60 °C). In order to maintain the suitable temperature in the fermentation tank, external energy supply is usually required, which increases the operating cost of the system.
[0004] Although anaerobic fermentation technology plays an important role in biogas production, there are still some limitations in its practical application: 1) High energy consumption: Traditional anaerobic fermentation tanks require external energy supply to maintain the temperature and stirring operation inside the fermentation tank. Especially in cold regions, the heat supply energy consumption is high, resulting in increased production costs; 2) Waste of waste heat: A large amount of waste heat is generated during the biogas purification and biogas compression processes, but this waste heat is usually not effectively utilized and is directly discharged into the environment, causing energy waste; 3) Low system integration: Existing biogas purification and biogas compression systems mostly operate independently, lacking system integration, resulting in large equipment floor areas and low operating efficiency; 4) Carbon dioxide emission problem: Biogas contains a large amount of carbon dioxide, and traditional purification and purification systems usually directly discharge carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, increasing greenhouse gas emissions; 5) Complex equipment and high costs: The equipment of traditional anaerobic fermentation systems is complex, and the installation and maintenance costs are relatively high, restricting the popularization and application of the technology.
[0005] To overcome the limitations of traditional anaerobic fermentation technology, some technologies in the current industry have made various improvement attempts, mainly including the following aspects: 1) Cogeneration technology: Cogeneration technology is a technology that uses the waste heat generated during the power generation process for heating, and has been applied in some anaerobic fermentation systems. For example, while using a gas generator to generate electricity, the waste heat generated is recovered for heating the fermentation tank. However, this technology usually relies on fossil fuels and fails to fully realize the utilization of clean energy; 2) Waste heat recovery technology: Some studies have tried to recover the waste heat generated during the biogas purification and natural gas compression processes through heat exchangers and use it for heating the fermentation tank. However, these technologies usually only target the waste heat recovery of a single link and fail to achieve the overall optimization of the system; 3) Carbon dioxide capture and utilization technology: In order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, some studies have tried to capture and convert the carbon dioxide in biogas into high-value products, such as liquid carbon dioxide or chemicals. However, these technologies usually require additional equipment and energy input, increasing the complexity and cost of the system; 4) System integration technology: Some enterprises have tried to integrate the biogas purification system and the natural gas compression system for integrated design to reduce the equipment floor area and improve the operating efficiency. However, these integrated designs usually lack a comprehensive consideration of waste heat recovery and carbon dioxide utilization. Summary of the Invention
