[0002] With the trend of large-scale livestock and poultry farming, centralized treatment of livestock and poultry manure has become a necessary measure. If it is discharged without effective treatment, it will pollute water bodies, air and soil, and at the same time pose risks of breeding bacteria, spreading diseases and endangering people's health.

[0003] Biogas fermentation is a common method for treating livestock and poultry manure. Also known as anaerobic digestion or anaerobic fermentation, it refers to the process by which organic matter (such as human and livestock manure, straw, weeds, etc.) is decomposed and metabolized by various microorganisms under certain moisture, temperature and anaerobic conditions, ultimately forming biogas. Biogas fermentation requires a special fermentation tank for treatment.

[0004] Existing biogas fermentation equipment mostly uses fermentation tanks to store and ferment organic raw materials. The fermentation tanks have limited volume and high construction costs, which is not conducive to their widespread application. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention addresses the technical problems of limited volume and high construction cost of existing biogas fermentation equipment by proposing a large-volume, non-mechanically stirred, low-temperature anaerobic storage integrated tank that can store fermented organic matter for a long time and operate stably for a long time.

[0029] To better understand this utility model, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0030] Example: Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a mechanically stirred, low-temperature anaerobic giant underground reactor includes a reactor, a material distribution unit, and a biogas collection unit. This mechanically stirred, low-temperature anaerobic giant underground reactor integrates storage and deep fermentation degradation.

[0031] The reaction tank is underground, with a depth of approximately 7-8 meters. A geomembrane 3 (HDPE) is laid on the bottom 1 and the dam 2 of the reaction tank to prevent the fermentation raw materials from seeping into the soil and polluting the groundwater. Similarly, a geomembrane 3 (HDPE) is laid on the top of the tank to prevent surface water from seeping into the reaction tank and to collect the biogas produced during fermentation.

[0032] The material distribution unit includes a main material pipeline 10 arranged on and around the dam 2 in a U-shape, forming a single, interconnected structure. Multiple discharge pipes 12 are connected to the main material pipeline 10, distributed within the reaction tank. Each discharge pipe 12 is equipped with a solenoid valve 15, which can be controlled by an external control system to change the on / off state of each discharge pipe 12. Figure 3As shown, the discharge pipe 12 extends downward from above the dam 2, with its lower end located at the bottom 1 of the reaction tank. A feed pipe 13 is connected to one side of the main material pipeline 10. A first main pipeline valve 20 and a second main pipeline valve 21 are installed on both sides of the feed pipe 13 on the main material pipeline 10. A discharge pipe 17 is connected to the other side of the main material pipeline 10. A third main pipeline valve 22 and a fourth main pipeline valve 23 are installed on both sides of the discharge pipe 17 on the main material pipeline 10. A centrifugal pump 14 is installed on the feed pipe 13, and a rotor pump 4 and a discharge valve 16 are installed on the discharge pipe 17. A material circulation pipe 5 is also connected between the discharge pipe 17 and the main material pipeline 10. A material circulation valve 25 is installed on the material circulation pipe 5, and a fifth main pipeline valve 24 is installed on the right side of the material circulation pipe 5 on the main material pipeline 10.

[0033] After solid-liquid separation of manure (pig manure, cow manure, etc.) by screw extrusion, the liquid phase is discharged into the main material pipeline 10 via the feed pipe 13 by the centrifugal pump 14, and then discharged into the reaction tank for storage and fermentation through various pipelines. To prevent sludge settling during fermentation, the material can be circulated in the reaction tank by the rotor pump 4 and the material circulation pipe 5, in conjunction with the solenoid valves on the main material pipeline 10 and each discharge pipe. For example, by opening the fourth main pipeline valve 23 and the material circulation valve 25 on the material circulation pipe 5, and closing the discharge valve 16, the first main pipeline valve 20, the third main pipeline valve 22, and the fifth main pipeline valve 24, the material on the right side of the bottom 1 of the tank will be drawn into the right side of the main material pipeline 10 through the discharge pipe 12 between the first main pipeline valve 20 and the fourth main pipeline valve 23, under the action of the rotor pump 4. Then, it will be pumped into the left side of the main material pipeline 10 through the material circulation pipe 5, and then transported back to the bottom 1 of the tank through the discharge pipe between the first main pipeline valve 20 and the fifth main pipeline valve 24, forming a large-scale circulation system that simultaneously draws in and discharges, ensuring the continuous and efficient fermentation process. The material circulation position can be alternated by opening and closing the valves, ultimately achieving full-area circulation and stirring. After fermentation is complete, the material circulation valve 25 on the material circulation pipe 5 is closed, and the discharge valve 16 is opened. The rotor pump 4 is activated, and the material in the reaction tank can be discharged through the discharge pipe 17, achieving discharge. The discharge position in the reaction tank can be controlled by opening the solenoid valve of the corresponding area.

[0034] To facilitate the discharge of supernatant from the reaction tank, multiple supernatant drain pipes 11 are connected to the main material pipeline 10, and each supernatant drain pipe 11 is equipped with a solenoid valve 15. Figure 4As shown, the lower end of the supernatant drain pipe 11 extends to the middle of the reaction tank. Different supernatant drain pipes 11 have different lengths, different insertion depths into the reaction tank, and different positions within the reaction tank. Supernatant drain pipes 11 at different depths and positions facilitate the discharge of biogas slurry from different depths and areas. The discharged biogas slurry can be used in nearby farmland irrigation systems for irrigating crops, or it can be transported to the pretreatment workshop for use in the mixing tank for raw material preparation, thus saving on tap water consumption.

[0035] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the biogas collection unit includes a main biogas collection pipe 6 arranged around the top of the reaction tank. The main biogas collection pipe 6 is arranged in a U-shape and is connected as a whole. The main biogas collection pipe 6 is connected to multiple biogas collection branch pipes 7, and each biogas collection branch pipe 7 is equipped with a solenoid valve 15. The multiple biogas collection branch pipes 7 are distributed on the top of the reaction tank, which can collect biogas located on the top of the reaction tank from various directions.

[0036] A biogas collection main pipe 6 is connected to a biogas output pipe 18 on one side. A Roots blower 8 and a biogas output valve 19 are connected to the biogas output pipe 18. When the Roots blower 8 is running, biogas enters the biogas collection main pipe 6 through each biogas collection branch pipe 7, and is then transported to the biogas purification and utilization system through the biogas output pipe 18.

[0037] The biogas collection main pipe 6 is also connected to bypass pipes 9 located on both sides of the Roots blower 8. Both bypass pipes 9 are connected to the biogas output pipe 18 at the position between the Roots blower 8 and the biogas output valve 19. When biogas is not being supplied externally, the biogas output valve 19 is closed, and biogas can be reversed through the bypass pipes 9 and blown out through the biogas collection branch pipes 7, thereby cleaning the biogas collection main pipe 6 and the biogas collection branch pipes 7 and preventing condensate from freezing and clogging the pipes.

[0038] This novel, mechanically stirred, low-temperature anaerobic giant underground reactor utilizes pumps and pipelines to achieve biogas slurry flow, forming a material circulation system that simultaneously draws in and releases wastewater. This prevents sludge deposition within the reactor and ensures long-term stable operation. The biogas collection unit is equipped with a backflushing mechanism to clean the main biogas collection pipe 6 and branch pipes 7, preventing condensate from freezing and clogging the pipes. This mechanically stirred, low-temperature anaerobic giant underground reactor features a sunken structure, utilizing waste heat from materials and geothermal energy to improve overall energy efficiency. With a volume exceeding 20,000 cubic meters, it also functions as a long-term biogas fertilizer storage facility, adapting to the seasonal needs of agricultural production.

[0039] This utility model of a non-mechanically stirred, low-temperature anaerobic giant underground reactor has low construction cost and integrates functions such as anaerobic reaction, biogas collection, and material mixing and circulation, making it suitable for application in farms across various regions.

[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
