Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a plant for processing organic material, a modular, mobile bioreactor, a use of at least one standardized container, a collecting container for collecting organic material, a transporter for organic material and a system for processing organic material. STATE OF THE ART

[0002] The utilization of organic material or waste by insect larvae, particularly by maggots of the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens), has received increasing attention in recent years. Such systems offer an efficient way to reduce organic residues and obtain valuable biomass in the form of larval protein and fat. Established processes rely on controlled conditions to optimize decomposition performance and larval growth.

[0003] DE 102020002938 A1 discloses a method and system for recycling organic waste. The method involves feeding the waste to insect larvae, which metabolize it as food. The end products of the process are animal feed and / or oil from the insect larvae, as well as fertilizer from the excreta and unmetabolized waste. Before the process, the waste is mechanically crushed to a particle size of less than 5 mm and, with the addition of liquid, processed into a paste with a liquid content of more than 50%. This paste is placed in a container together with the insect larvae. After the metabolization process, the container contents are separated in a separation step. The insect larvae are pressed to extract oil and then used as animal feed. The waste is used as fertilizer.

[0004] KR 20060030829 A discloses a device for treating organic waste using fly larvae. Conventional systems for treating livestock manure with fly larvae are often uneconomical for small livestock farms due to their high capacity and cost. Furthermore, the process is cumbersome, as fly eggs must be incubated externally and added with each manure addition, reducing efficiency and increasing costs. KR 20060030829 A solves this problem by using five intermittently rotating flat belt conveyors within a compact treatment tank equipped with mosquito nets to prevent fly escape. Additionally, a hot air blower and a fan are installed to regulate temperature and humidity. A straw pupation device is located at the bottom.This solution offers ease of use, reduces treatment costs and is particularly suitable for smaller businesses.

[0005] EP 4108081 A1 discloses a multifunctional modular unit for breeding insects and for biotreatment of by-products and / or organic waste and related technological systems for electromechanical storage and handling.

[0006] RU2336696 C1 concerns a system on height-adjustable supports. The system is designed to feed larvae with liquid feed.

[0007] A facility for rearing flightless insects and / or larvae is known from PL 41824416 A. This known facility features an autonomous conveyor belt with side walls.

[0008] A modular insect production system is known from US 2017311612 A1. The insect production system can include modules for mixing raw materials, improved raw material separation, insect feeding, insect breeding, insect collection, insect grinding, pathogen removal, multifunctional flour mixing, liquid mixing, molding, cooking, flavoring, biocatalyst mixing, exoskeleton separation, liquid separation, and lipid extraction. The insect production system can be configured to be constructed from a variety of container modules.

[0009] WO 2023153948 A1 discloses a container set for breeding and / or rearing insects and / or larval forms of insects and the use of the container set. The container set is known for breeding and / or rearing insects and / or larval forms of insects. The container contains a multi-level rack with breeding areas in the form of shelves and / or autonomous conveyor belts connected to a feed tank, preferably via an automatic dosing pump. The container is equipped with a power supply system that operates lighting lamps, a heating system, and a ventilation and air conditioning system. The rack can have 1 to 30 levels, and the containers can be connected to a semi-trailer for mobile use. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

[0010] The object of the invention is therefore to create a plant for processing organic material using insect larvae that is fully integrated, transportable, energy-efficient and modular. DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

[0011] According to the invention, a plant for processing organic material using insect larvae is provided according to claim 1. The plant according to the invention preferably comprises a mixing device for mixing the organic material; an insect larvae dosing device; a conveying device for conveying at least one first container filled with mixed organic material and insect larvae; a first module comprising the mixing device; and a second module comprising the conveying device.

[0012] Organic matter is essentially a substrate or material on or in which an organism can live. The organic material can be a heterogeneous, solid starting material, such as plant and / or animal matter, organic waste, waste products from food production, green waste, digestate from biogas plants, dairy and slaughterhouse waste, residues from fish meal and egg powder production, contaminated substrates made of or containing organic components, sewage sludge, pomace, sugar beet pulp, algae, molasses, and / or linseed oil. The organic material preferably serves as food for the insect larvae.

[0013] Juvenile larvae are preferably used as insect larvae. Juvenile larvae are specifically larvae that have already hatched from an insect egg. The insect larvae mature into adult larvae over a period of 10 to 14 days, for example, while feeding on organic material. The protein content of the insect larvae can increase to a threshold level. In other words, an insect larva or juvenile larva can develop to the adult stage in at least the first container. Once the protein threshold level is reached, high-quality protein can be harvested, with the organic material largely processed or disposed of. The protein can be used, for example, as fish feed or, more generally, as animal feed.

[0014] Larvae generally include maggots and caterpillars. Maggots, especially the larvae or juvenile larvae of soldier flies, are suitable for the present invention. Even more suitable are the larvae of the black soldier fly, also known as Hermetia illucens. Hermetia illucens can typically convert up to one-third of its feed weight into body mass. Hermetia illucens contains approximately 58% protein.

[0015] The mixing device serves in particular to homogenize the organic material so that the insect larvae can process the substrate more evenly and quickly. The mixing device comprises, for example, a stirring spoon or a screw mixer. The mixing device can comprise an integrated comminution device, for example a cutting edge and / or a tearing edge.

One or more of the side walls can be reinforced with ribs. One or more side walls and / or the base can in particular be double-walled and / or equipped with insulating material. At the upper edge of one of the side walls, in particular, the openable lid is hinged. The lid can be opened to fill the trough-like container. The lid can comprise a hydraulic or electrical actuator for opening and closing. The lid can be thermally insulated.

[0017] According to a further embodiment, the conveying device can comprise a feed device that conveys the first container along the conveying device. The feed device can comprise a motor-driven conveyor chain or a motor-driven spindle drive. The feed device can convey the first container along the second module. The system can have a computer control. The computer control can adjust a conveying speed of the feed device depending on the processing speed of the organic material by the insect larvae. The feed device can convey the first container continuously or in batches. The system can have at least one movable shelf trolley that can accommodate the first and / or further containers, wherein the shelf trolley is conveyed in particular by means of the conveying device.The shelf trolley may have casters and be removably engaged with the conveyor device. The shelf trolley may have multiple rails or shelves, which in particular accommodate the containers.

[0018] In a further embodiment, the system can have a third module, wherein the second module and the third module comprise the conveying device. The system can alternatively comprise four, five, ten, or up to n modules, where n is a positive integer. Modules 2 to n can comprise the conveying device. The number of modules can be selected depending on various criteria, e.g., the number of containers, the throughput of organic material, the processing speed of the insect larvae, and / or the space available at an installation site for the system according to the invention.

[0019] According to a further development, a first standardized container can comprise the first module, and a second standardized container can comprise the second module. In other words, a standardized container can form a module. A standardized container preferably comprises an ISO container or a standardized large-capacity steel container. Standardized containers are easily transportable, for example, by truck, and enable the system to be designed modularly.

[0020] In a further embodiment, the first and / or second module can comprise a logistics facility, in particular a facility for loading, transporting, storing, and / or unloading. The logistics facility can comprise a crane eye, stacking device, and / or fastening device arranged on the freight container.

[0021] According to a further development, the system can comprise a lock device. The lock device can comprise a module or a freight container. The lock device is preferably used for the leak-proof or hermetically conveying of containers or rack trolleys from one module to another module or from one freight container to another. The system can comprise several freight containers or modules arranged in a row on the floor. Furthermore, the system can comprise several modules arranged in a meandering or serpentine manner. In addition, the system can comprise several modules arranged vertically one above the other. In order to convey the containers or rack trolleys from one module to the next module, an interposed lock device can act as a valve, as a lifting device and / or as a direction-changing device.

[0022] The processing of organic material can produce unpleasant or offensive odors; the system is preferably designed to be leak-proof or hermetically sealed and can include a deodorization device. According to a further embodiment, the system, in particular the mixing device, can include a sanitizer. The sanitizer can sanitize or pasteurize the organic material. The organic material can contain pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi. To sanitize the organic material, a high temperature that is maintained constant over a certain period of time is generally required. For example, the organic material can be heated to over 70°C for a period of one hour. A temperature of over 70°C for a period of one hour can, for example, sanitize maggot or insect droppings.

[0023] The system may include a separating device or screening device to separate the fully fattened maggots from residues. The system may include a blanching device that blanches the fully fattened maggots using water at a temperature of at least 70°C. The system may include a grinder for grinding the fattened maggots.

[0024] The term sanitization is generally defined as the treatment of organic waste with the aim of killing microorganisms with pathogenic effects on crops, animals and humans to such an extent that there is only a low risk of disease transmission.

[0025] According to a further embodiment, the system can comprise a fluid channel for heat recovery. The first and / or second standardized container can comprise the fluid channel, wherein the fluid channel is arranged in an outer shell of the first and / or second standardized container. The fluid channel can form a second floor, a false ceiling, or a second wall in a standardized container or a module. The insect larvae can generate heat while growing, processing, or feeding on the organic material. For cooling or temperature regulation, heat can be transported from an nth module via the fluid channel and released again at the beginning of the system to preheat the young larvae. A heat exchanger, fan, and / or valve can be used for this purpose. The recovery of heat and use of this heat at the beginning of the system to preheat young larvae can lead to improved energy efficiency of the system.Preferably, all modules or all standardized containers or all modules 2 to n or standardized containers 2 to n have a double floor, double wall or double ceiling for heat recovery.

[0026] In a further embodiment, the mixing device can comprise a first screw mixer, a second screw mixer, a third screw mixer, a comminution device, a temperature measuring instrument, a moisture measuring instrument, a pH measuring instrument, a weighing device, an aeration device, a humidification device, a heat exchanger, and / or a heater. The screw mixers preferably serve to homogeneously mix the organic material. The comminution device preferably serves to comminute the organic material. The instruments, the weighing device, the aeration device, the humidification device, the heat exchanger, and / or the heater can interact with the computer control system to control or monitor the processing of the organic material in the system.

[0027] According to a further development, the system, in particular the first and / or second module, can comprise a pump for filling the at least first container with the mixed organic material. The pump can comprise a peristaltic pump. A peristaltic pump is preferably a closed system. This can offer the advantage that material remains enclosed in a hose of the peristaltic pump. Peristaltic pumps convey gently, are simple in design, and inexpensive to maintain.

[0028] According to a further embodiment, the system can include a viscometer. The viscometer can determine the viscosity of the mixed organic material. If the organic material is too liquid, the maggots can drown; if it is too solid, the maggots cannot penetrate into the material. The peristaltic pump is preferably controlled depending on the determined viscosity of the mixed organic material.

[0029] In a further embodiment, the system, in particular the insect larvae dosing device, can comprise a pneumatic conveying device, in particular an air-flow conveyor. Insect larvae are generally very sensitive to mechanical stress. The air-flow conveyor can gently convey the insect larvae to the containers and deposit them on the mixed organic material while surrounded by cushioning air.

[0030] Furthermore, a modular, mobile bioreactor for processing organic material into frass and maggot breeding is proposed. The bioreactor may comprise: a first standardized container comprising a mixer for mixing and grinding the organic material into maggot feed, a sanitizer for sanitizing the organic material, and a maggot feed pump; a maggot airflow conveyor; a plurality of carts, each comprising a plurality of containers, wherein the maggot feed pump feeds the containers with maggot feed and the maggot airflow conveyors feed the maggot feed in the containers with soldier fly maggots; a second standardized container with a cart feed device for conveying the carts along the second standardized container; a third standardized container with a further carriage feed device for conveying the carriages along the third standardized container; a waste heat air duct arranged in an outer shell of the second and third standardized containers for conducting waste heat air to the first standardized container.

[0032] Furthermore, a collection container for collecting organic material with an inlet opening, a fluid-tight container, and a discharge closure is proposed, wherein the inlet opening comprises a fluid-tight lock. Organic material, e.g., food scraps or organic waste, can cause unpleasant odors. Collecting organic waste is particularly difficult in subtropical and tropical regions. The collection container according to the invention is preferably designed to be fluid-tight. Fluid-tight includes liquid-tight, gas-tight, hermetically sealed, odor-tight, and / or pressure-tight. The collection container can be installed in residential complexes, restaurants, and the like. The inlet opening can be designed as a rotary valve. The rotary valve is a mechanism that enables a metered feeding of organic material into the fluid-tight container, with little or no odors or gases escaping from the fluid-tight container.The rotary valve preferably has at least two opposing inlet sectors, allowing feeding from two sides of the collection container. The collection container preferably has a mechanical actuation device, such as a foot pedal, to rotate the rotary valve. When the rotary valve rotates, the inlet sectors are rotated over openings in the fluid-tight container, so that the organic material enters the interior of the fluid-tight container by gravity. The collection container can comprise a pressure relief valve and a deodorization device, in particular with a gas cartridge. If gases are generated in the collection container as a result of biological processes, they can be released through the pressure relief valve when a predetermined pressure is exceeded and deodorized by the deodorization device.

[0034] According to a further embodiment, a transporter is proposed which may comprise a utility vehicle, a crane and a tank for receiving and storing the organic material, wherein the tank preferably comprises a mixing and / or shredding device.

[0035] Furthermore, a system for processing organic material is proposed, which comprises at least one collection container according to the invention, a transporter according to the invention, and the system according to the invention. The crane can lift the collection container and position it above the tank. If the discharge closure is opened, the contents of the collection container can be emptied into the tank. The transporter can travel to various collection containers and collect their contents. During the journey, the transporter can shred and mix the collected organic material. At the end of the journey, the transporter can feed the mixed and shredded material to the system according to the invention. Preferably, the already shredded and mixed organic material can be pumped directly into the at least first container. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0036] Embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail with reference to the drawings and the following description. They show: Fig. 1A is a plan view of an embodiment of a system according to the invention. Fig. 1B is a plan view of another embodiment of a system according to the invention, Fig. 1C is a side view of another embodiment of a system according to the invention, Fig. 2 another embodiment of a system according to the invention Fig. 3 an embodiment of a collecting container according to the invention and Fig. 4 an embodiment of a transporter according to the invention. EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

[0037] In the Fig. 1A shows a plan view of a plant 100 for processing organic material. The plant 100 comprises several standardized containers 102, 104, 106, 108, which comprise modules of the plant 100. The standardized container 102 comprises a mixing device for mixing the organic material. The standardized containers 104 and 106 each comprise a conveyor device for conveying several carts equipped with containers. Mixed organic material is pumped from the mixing device to the containers using a peristaltic pump when the containers are located in the standardized container 104. An airflow pump conveys young black soldier fly larvae to the containers filled with mixed organic material. The conveyor devices convey the cart with filled containers along the standardized containers 104 and 106.The standardized container 108 comprises a lock system designed to be loaded with carts containing empty containers. The lock system has two gates that can be opened alternately. The system 100 can have additional standardized containers in which the carts containing filled containers are conveyed until the larvae are fully fattened or adult and have reached a certain protein content. The carts can be discharged at the end of the system via another lock system.

[0038] The 100 plant is modular and portable thanks to the use of standardized containers. Each standardized container can be designed for a specific task in processing the organic material, allowing all necessary processing steps to be fully integrated into the plant.

[0039] In the Fig. Figure 1B shows a top view of a system 110. The system 110 comprises a mixing module 112, which corresponds to a mixing device, an inlet module 114, a transport lock module 116, a process module 118, another transport lock module 120, and another process module 122. The modules are arranged in a meandering pattern to optimally utilize a small footprint. The inlet module 114, the transport lock module 116, and the another transport lock module 120 correspond to a lock device.

[0040] In the Fig. Figure 1C shows a side view of a system 130. The system 130 comprises several standardized containers stacked vertically one above the other and arranged side by side. This makes the system 130 very space-saving.

[0041] In the Fig. 2 shows a system 200. The system 200 comprises a screw mixer module 202 for mixing and shredding food waste, and a peristaltic pump 204 for pumping the mixed and shredded food waste. Furthermore, the system 200 comprises a lock 206 with an outer gate 208 and an inner gate (not shown) that open alternately. A cart 210 containing several empty containers 212 is introduced into the system through the lock 206. Downstream of the process, see arrow 218, the system 200 comprises two maggot breeding modules 214 and 216, as well as further maggot breeding modules (not shown). An airflow conveyor system 215 is arranged in the maggot breeding module 214. The airflow conveyor system 215 conveys insect larvae to the empty containers 212.

[0042] The two maggot breeding modules 214, 216 each comprise a conveyor chain 220, 222 for conveying the cart along the process flow 218, as well as warm air flow channels in double floors 224 and 226. The screw mixing module 202 and the airlock 206 are located upstream of the process, or at the beginning of the system. Due to the height of the double floors 224, 226, a ramp 228 is required to drive the cart in, which is located in front of the outer gate 208.

[0043] The 200 system has a modular design and can be easily transported disassembled or configured with more or fewer modules according to customer requirements. Each module can be designed for a specific task within the process, allowing the system to fully integrate all necessary processing steps. The heat air flow channels in the double floors 224 and 226 allow waste heat from the end of the process to be recirculated to the beginning, thus increasing the system's energy efficiency.

[0044] In the Fig. 3 shows a collection container 300. The collection container 300 has a gas-tight container 302, a rotary valve 304, and a discharge closure 306. The rotary valve 304 is arranged on a top side of the gas-tight container 302 so as to be rotatable about a vertical axis. The gas-tight container 302 is cylindrical and tapered downwards like a silo toward the discharge closure 306. Organic material, such as food scraps or organic waste, can cause unpleasant odors. Collecting organic waste is particularly difficult in subtropical and tropical regions. The collection container 300 is designed to be gas-tight to reduce or prevent these odors. The collection container 300 can be installed in residential complexes, restaurants, and the like. The rotary valve 304 allows a metered feeding of organic material into the gas-tight container 302, in this way it can be prevented that too large, which may fill the collection container, is formed.Clogging objects are introduced. The rotary valve 304 has two opposing feed sectors, allowing feeding from two sides of the collection container. The collection container 300 has a foot pedal (not shown) to rotate the rotary valve. When the rotary valve rotates, the feed sectors are rotated over openings in the gas-tight container 302, so that the organic material enters the interior of the gas-tight container 302 by gravity. The collection container has a pressure relief valve and a deodorization device. If gases are generated in the collection container 300 through biological processes, they can be released through the pressure relief valve when a predetermined pressure is exceeded and deodorized by the deodorization device. The collection container 300 includes several washing nozzles 308.The washing nozzles 308 are connected to a water connection of the collection container 300, which can be connected to a transport vehicle. If organic material adheres to an inner wall of the gas-tight container 302, the water nozzles help to loosen the organic material from the inner wall. The washing nozzles 308 can have a pressure relief device that serves to vibrate the collection container 300 to loosen adhering organic material.

[0045] In the Fig. 4 is a transporter 400 with a loading crane 402 and a tank 404. The tank 404 has two auger mixers (not shown). The loading crane 402 lifts a collection container 406 for organic material. When the organic material is unloaded into the tank 404, the two auger mixers can crush and mix the organic material during travel.
