Experiments with a newly developed biogas reactor block

Abstract

Increasing energy security can be found in the principal objectives of all countries. There is a competition in the research of long-term available renewable energy sources and their high efficiency utilization, and also in time. From the renewable energy sources the biomass, as an inexhaustible commodity was used in the experiments. Digestion was chosen from the several methods to explore green energy from waste and then to produce valuable biogas. However, the experiments related to anaerobic fermentation of organic materials take a long time, up to several months, so the results gained from these carefully prepared and accurately conducted experiments are definitely valuable. By optimizing the fermentation equipment it was possible to increase the time-efficiency of the measurements. The results are given in this paper.
