Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020212073A1] The invention relates to a plug flow fermenter (1) for a biogas plant, comprising a reactor container (2) embodied as longitudinal straight tubes. A substrate that is to be fermented, preferably by dry fermentation, can be fermented in the form of a plug flow with production of biogas. inside the reactor container (9). The reactor container (2) has at least one container inlet (10), via which the substrate to be fermented can be fed to the inside of the reactor (9), and at least one container outlet (12) that is arranged at a distance from the container inlet (10) in the direction of flow (x) of the plug flow, via which container outlet the fermented substrate can be discharged from the inside the reactor (9). A plurality of mixing devices (19) that are can be exchanged separately, are arranged inside the reactor container (9) when seen in the longitudinal direction of extension and thus in the direction of flow of the plug flow.
