Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014087024A1] The invention relates to a method and a device for optimising the acceptance, conditioning, hydrolysis, disintegration and methane enrichment of organic matter for feeding biogas fermenters or other processes for the treatment or conversion of organic substances, and also for improving viscosity, in which specifically required, technological or biological procedures are combined in one mixing and combi-hydrolysis tank. The device has one or more descending walls for separating the gas chamber in the top part of the tank, one descending wall of which separates the gas chamber of the tank opening from the other tank, and optionally a further descending wall, the lower end of which is permanently located above the lowest fluid level and which separates the gas chamber of the pump chamber from the other tank. The device optionally has an ultrasonic module for treating a recirculated material from an advanced fermentation stage or from the device according to claim 1, and also a gas supply system in the lower zones of the feed and/or pump chamber for hydrogenous gases, produced in the process or supplied externally, for stimulating methane formation by means of hydrogen-oxidising archaea.
