Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical equipment technology, and in particular to a biogas anaerobic fermentation tank. Background Technology
[0002] In the cold northern regions, biogas production and operation are affected by the climate, which restricts the development of biogas in the north. Biogas is difficult to survive the winter in the cold northern regions. Biogas anaerobic fermentation and low-temperature fermentation processes require a temperature of 35 degrees Celsius inside the fermentation tank, while the outdoor temperature in the north can reach more than -30 degrees Celsius in winter. There is a temperature difference of more than 60 degrees Celsius between the fermentation temperature and the outdoor temperature. Existing technologies make it difficult to solve the problem of constant temperature in biogas fermentation tanks.
[0003] Existing biogas digesters mainly include: indoor anaerobic digesters, underground or semi-underground reinforced concrete digesters, carbon steel digesters, and coil-type heated digesters. However, the applicant has found that all existing technologies suffer from varying degrees of technical problems, such as high production or construction costs and poor insulation. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a biogas anaerobic fermentation tank to solve the technical problem of poor heat preservation in the prior art.
[0005] To solve the above problems, the biogas anaerobic digester involved in this utility model adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model provides a biogas anaerobic digester, including a tank body. A first polyurethane foam layer is provided on the outer periphery of the tank body. A sheath insulation layer is fitted onto the outer periphery of the tank body. A gap is provided between the sheath insulation layer and the first polyurethane foam layer to form a hollow layer. A polystyrene foam layer is provided on the outer wall of the sheath insulation layer. A sealing plate is provided at the top of the hollow layer to seal its top. The two ends of the sealing plate are respectively fixed to the top surface of the sheath insulation layer and the top surface of the digester. A second polyurethane foam layer is provided on the sealing plate and the outer side of the top wall of the tank body.
[0007] Preferably, it also includes an insulation base, on which the tank body is mounted, and the sheath insulation layer is connected to the insulation base.
[0008] Preferably, the tank is a carbon steel fermentation tank or an enamel-lined assembled fermentation tank.
[0009] Preferably, the sealing plate is made of steel plate.
[0010] Preferably, the tank is configured as a semi-underground fermentation tank, and the sheath insulation layer includes a first sheath shell located underground and a second sheath shell located above ground. The second sheath shell is located above the first sheath shell. The first sheath shell is configured as a reinforced concrete structure, and the second sheath shell is configured as a brick-concrete structure.
[0011] Preferably, the tank body is configured as an underground fermentation tank, and the sheath insulation layer is configured as a reinforced concrete structure; alternatively, the tank body is configured as an above-ground fermentation tank, and the sheath insulation layer is configured as a brick-concrete structure.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] This utility model provides a biogas anaerobic digester, including a tank body. Compared with the prior art, the outer layer of the tank body, from the inside out, is provided with a polyurethane foam layer, a hollow structure layer, and a sheath insulation layer. These three layers work together to create a cold-insulating buffer layer between the tank body and the outside environment, avoiding direct contact between the tank body and the outside environment and reducing the temperature difference between the tank body and the external environment. Simultaneously, a steel plate and a polystyrene foam layer are provided on the upper side of the tank body to achieve upper cold-insulating buffer. This device has low cost and good heat insulation and cold-insulating effect. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The top surface of the sheath insulation layer 4 is at the same height as the top surface of the peripheral wall of the tank 1. A sealing plate 8 is provided on the hollow layer 5 to seal its upper end. The two ends of the sealing plate 8 are fixed to the top surface of the sheath insulation layer 4 and the top surface of the fermentation tank, respectively. A second polyurethane foam layer 7 is provided above the sealing plate 8 and on the outer side of the top wall of the tank 1 (the part not covered by the sealing plate 8).
