METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF METHANE AND A PLANT FOR CARRYING OUT THE METHOD

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for the production of methane from a substrate comprising an organic material, by way of example manure, in a process by means of a culture of anaerobic and preferably thermophile microorganisms, which in a processing chamber is brought into contact with the organic material and in which the generated gas is collected. According to the inven-tion the substrate is introduced into a pre-chamber for pretreatment which is provided with heating means with the substrate heated in the pre-chamber to at least the temperature that it is intended to have during the process or preferably to a higher temperture, whereafter it is transproted to the processing cham-ber and brought into contact with the culture of microorganisms by being admixedto the substrate in the processing chamber. Then invention also relates to a plant for carrying out of the method.
