Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a system for alleviating ammonia inhibition during the anaerobic digestion of medium- and high-temperature kitchen waste. Background Technology

[0002] my country's annual output of food waste has exceeded 50 million tons, with volatile solids (VS) content reaching nearly 90%, indicating enormous potential for resource utilization. Anaerobic digestion, as a low-cost and high-energy-recovery technology, utilizes microorganisms such as hydrolytic acidifying bacteria and methanogenic archaea to convert carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids in food waste into biogas, primarily methane, while effectively linking the upstream and downstream industrial chains of food waste resource utilization. Typically, during the anaerobic digestion of medium- and high-temperature food waste, the concentration of free ammonia produced by protein degradation easily exceeds 4000 mg / L, leading to the inhibition of methanogenic bacteria activity and a 30%–50% decrease in methane yield. Traditional solutions such as dilution methods require large amounts of water, while adsorption methods (activated carbon, zeolite) are costly and difficult to regenerate. Existing patents (such as CN205974214U) propose biogas circulation and stirring technology, but do not solve the problem of ammonia nitrogen accumulation; patent CN106277435A uses chemical precipitation to recover ammonia, but the process is complex and prone to introducing secondary pollution.

[0009] The gas mixing tank 7 is uniformly equipped with multiple vertically arranged baffles 7-1. The air inlet and air outlet are located at the two ends of the gas mixing tank 7, respectively.

[0011] The usage method and working principle of this utility model's negative pressure coupled biogas reflux system for alleviating ammonia inhibition during the anaerobic digestion of medium- and high-temperature kitchen waste are as follows:

[0012] 1. System Start-up: Inject kitchen waste and anaerobic sludge into the material inlet of anaerobic digester 1, with a VS ratio of 1:1; then start the stirring device 1-1 at a speed of 20 rpm to 40 rpm; set the internal temperature of anaerobic digester 1 to 37 to 55°C, add acid and alkali agents until the pH is 6.8 to 7.5, and feed and discharge materials according to a sludge retention time of 40 days;

[0013] 2. Negative Pressure Extraction and Biogas Purification: Vacuum pump 2 is started (vacuum degree 50000Pa±5%, when ammonia nitrogen concentration exceeds 3000mg / L, the extraction rate is increased to 120% of the rated value). Biogas enters the acid washing container 4 through gas buffer tank 3. The gas buffer tank 3 has a built-in cyclone separator 3-1 to remove entrained particulate matter, achieving a particulate matter removal rate of ≥95% in the biogas. In the acid washing container 4, sulfuric acid (10%–20% sulfuric acid solution by mass concentration) is sprayed through the first spray pipe 4-4. Ammonia reacts with sulfuric acid to form ammonium sulfate crystals (particle size 50μm–200μm), achieving an ammonia removal rate of ≥95%. The bottom 4-6 is for sediment collection. The collection area is used to recover ammonium sulfate crystals for use as fertilizer; the first gas-liquid separation membrane 4-1 is made of PTFE material with a pore size of 0.2μm, used to intercept acid mist droplets and tiny crystals; the middle part is the gas-liquid reaction zone, filled with PP material packing to increase the gas-liquid contact area. The biogas after ammonia removal enters the alkaline washing container 5, and is sprayed with NaOH solution (5% to 10% sodium hydroxide solution by mass concentration) through the second spray pipe 5-4. Hydrogen sulfide reacts with NaOH to generate Na2S, and carbon dioxide partially dissolves in the alkaline solution; the biogas after desulfurization enters the dehydration container 6, where the silica gel layer 6-1 adsorbs moisture, and the humidity of the biogas exiting the purified biogas outlet 6-5 is ≤5%;

[0014] 3. Biogas Recirculation and Reaction Enhancement: Oxygen is injected into the gas mixing tank 7 through the oxygen inlet pipe 7-2 at a flow rate of 0.1% to 0.5% of the biogas recirculation flow rate. This is used to promote the metabolic activity of hydrogen-producing methanogens, recirculate residual hydrogen to produce methanogens, and increase the methane concentration in the biogas. The purified biogas is mixed with trace amounts of oxygen in the gas mixing tank 7. The gas mixing tank 7 is equipped with baffles 7-1 to ensure that the biogas residence time is ≥30s. After being pressurized to 0.1 to 0.3MPa by the circulating pump 8, it is released into the anaerobic digester 1 through the nano-aerator head 9. The bubble diameter is ≤100nm, and the gas-liquid volume mixing ratio is 1:(2 to 3). The circulating H2 reacts with CO2 in the tank under the action of hydrogen-producing methanogens to produce methane.

[0015] 4. Intelligent Control: The gas composition analyzer uploads data every 30 minutes, and the controller dynamically adjusts the frequency of vacuum pump 2, the acceleration rate of acid and alkali solution dosing, and the oxygen injection volume of oxygen inlet pipe 7-2; when the methane purity in the top outlet of gas buffer tank 3 is >70%, 85% of the biogas is diverted to the gas storage tank (outside the system, not shown in the figure) for resource recovery, and the remaining 15% is returned to the acid washing container 4; when the methane purity in the top outlet of gas buffer tank 3 is ≤70%, all of it is returned to the acid washing container 4 for processing;

[0016] An alarm will be triggered and the machine will automatically shut down if the following conditions are detected: the sulfuric acid concentration in pickling container 4 is below 5%; the pH value of alkaline washing container 5 exceeds 12.5; or the humidity of dehydration container 6 exceeds 15%.

[0017] 5. Maintenance strategy: Regenerate the desiccant silica gel layer 6-1 every 72 hours by introducing hot air into the hot air inlet 6-4 and baking at 180°C for 2 hours.

[0018] This invention reduces the ammonia nitrogen concentration in the system from 4000 mg / L to below 3000 mg / L by adjusting the solid-liquid distribution of ammonia, while increasing the methane yield by 20%–30%. The system integrates real-time monitoring and intelligent adjustment of gas composition, as well as the resource recovery of hydrogen sulfide. It is suitable for medium- and high-temperature (37℃–55℃) anaerobic digestion of high-solids-content (TS≥15%) food waste, and features low energy consumption (overall energy consumption reduced by 30%) and a high degree of automation.

[0019] This invention employs a negative pressure method at the top of the anaerobic digester 1, which avoids the problem of excessive energy consumption in the traditional gas extraction method and can effectively reduce the ammonia nitrogen concentration in the liquid phase, thus alleviating the inhibitory effect on methanogens. In addition, since there is a small amount of H2 in the biogas, after it is circulated back to the anaerobic digester 1, it can react with CO2 to generate methane under the action of hydrogenophilic methanogens, thereby increasing the proportion of methane in the biogas.

[0020] This invention alleviates ammonia inhibition in the system by reducing the partial pressure of ammonia nitrogen in the gas section of the anaerobic digester 1, while simultaneously achieving resource recovery, biogas purification, and improved biogas production efficiency, providing new technical support for further improving the high-temperature anaerobic digestion of high-protein materials such as kitchen waste.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model include:

[0022] 1. Ammonia nitrogen control: Through gas-liquid balance regulation, the ammonia nitrogen concentration is reduced from above 4000 mg / L to below 3000 mg / L, and the total ammonia nitrogen removal rate is ≥25%;

[0023] 2. Hydrogen sulfide removal: The hydrogen sulfide content is reduced from 2000 ppm to below 20 ppm, reducing the difficulty of subsequent natural gas conversion;

[0024] 3. Enhanced Methane Production: By mitigating ammonia inhibition and enhancing the hydroxylamine-producing (HMP) pathway, the CO2 concentration in the harvested biogas is ≥70%, and the methane yield is increased from 0.35 m³ / s. 3 / kg VS increased to 0.40m 3 / kg VS;

[0025] 4. System stability: After 90 days of continuous operation, the performance of key components (aerator head, vacuum pump) decreases by less than 5%. Attached Figure Description
