<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a methane fermentation method that reduces the concentration of carbon dioxide from a biogas obtained by methane fermentation without using an expensive solvent or a large amount of water, and an apparatus therefor. <P>SOLUTION: In the methane fermentation method for organic wastewater or waste, a part of the internal liquid of a methane fermentation tank 1 is taken out and treated under reduced pressure lower than atmospheric pressure in a vacuum treatment means 3 to remove carbon dioxide dissolved in the internal liquid. Thereafter, the treated internal liquid is again returned to the methane fermentation tank 1. The removal efficiency of carbon dioxide can be controlled by regulating a vacuum degree in vacuum treatment. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO</p> |
