摘要 |
The invention relates to a method and device for producing bio-gas in a fermentation reactor (2) which is substantially devoid of H2S. According to the invention, a substantial amount of the overall contents of the fermentation reactor passes through an area (5) which is impinged upon by a medium containing an electron acceptor, especially air or a gas or gas mixture containing oxygen. The contact time between the medium containing the electron acceptor and the fermentation medium in said area (5) is regulated in such a way that the formation of H2S in the fermentation medium is suppressed to such an extent that no substantial proportion of H2S can be found in the bio-gas. The area (5) is thus configured as a guide tube which is vertically and centrally arranged in the fermentation reactor. Preferably, the bio-gas (6) acts as a propellant and is fed back into the guide tube in order to circulate the contents of the fermentation reactor in said guide tube.
