Transport device for biomass in a fermenter for the production of biogas and large fermenter for the production of 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 ).
