Transporting Arrangement For Transporting Biomass In A Fermenter For Generating Biogas, And Large-Scale Fermenter For Generating Biogas From Biomass

摘要

The invention provides a transporting arrangement for transporting biomass (22), in particular biomass from energy crops, in a fermenter (2) for generating biogas, it being possible for large-scale fermenters (2) to be operated continuously, in accordance with the principle of the methanation of solid matter, by means of this transporting arrangement. The transporting arrangement (20) comprises a plurality of transporting cushions (24-i) which are arranged one beside the other and have liquid pumped into them, and discharged again, one after the other. This generates a wave movement which transports the biomass (22) through the fermenter (2) from a loading region (10) to an unloading region (14). The invention also specifies a large-scale fermenter having such a transporting arrangement (20).
