LIPID MATERIAL BIODECOMPOSITION DEVICE AND METHOD

摘要

The device (10) for carrying out the method comprises a vessel (11) for storing a mixture of water and lipid materials to be treated fed in through an opening (12) provided with a cover (13). Specific bacterial strains capable of producing lipase enzymes are added to the mixture. The mixture is stirred by mixers (14) provided in the vessel (11) and rotated by electric motors (15). The bacteria are immediately operative to solubilise the lipid materials. A discharge channel (17) connected to the bottom of the tank (11) enables solubilised lipid materials to be drawn off and fed into a tank (18) in a treatment plant.
