FEEDSTOCK PREPARATION FOR ANAEROBIC DIGESTION

摘要

A method of preparing feedstock for anaerobic digestion or other biochemical reaction is disclosed. The method comprises drying green biomass (3) by heating the green biomass (3) to a temperature of at least 60 °C and no more than 135 °C, preferably no more than 105 °C. This produces dried green biomass (8) having a dry solid content of at least 80 %. This can facilitate further processing of the green biomass, for example by making it easier to separate digestible leafy biomass from woody biomass, and can help to render the green biomass inert thereby inhibiting natural decay during storage and so maintain biogas potential.
