Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of anaerobic reactor technology, specifically a dry anaerobic reactor that can improve material flow. Background Technology
[0002] Anaerobic fermentation is classified into two processes based on the solids content of the feed: dry and wet. Wet fermentation uses materials with a solids content of less than 12%. Due to its mature technology, it is widely used. However, its high water content results in large land area requirements, low volumetric gas production, high energy consumption, high investment, and high raw material requirements. It also produces a large amount of biogas slurry that requires secondary treatment, making commercial operation difficult. Dry fermentation, on the other hand, uses materials with a relatively high solids content, reaching 20-45%. Compared to wet fermentation, the lower water content significantly reduces reactor volume and energy consumption, and produces less wastewater, sometimes even achieving zero wastewater. However, the high solids content makes feeding and discharging operations and material mixing more difficult, easily leading to dead zones and material caking at the inlet and outlet. Poor heat transfer during material heating also severely restricts the widespread application of dry fermentation. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dry anaerobic reactor that can improve material flow and solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] Furthermore, the stirrer arm has a wedge-shaped design.
