Outline of Final Research Achievements

The effects of stirring speed and injection of the carrier on the methane fermentation of herbaceous biomass were investigated in this study, mimicking the structure and function of the rumen stomach. The goal of this study is constructing a system that makes non-uniform distribution of solid substrate and microorganisms, maintains high concentration of various microorganisms in the reactor and realizes efficient processing.
As a result of the research, stirring (at 10 rpm, this case) to such an extent that sludge and cellulose settle down to the bottom was more advantageous for methane fermentation than complete mixing inside the reactor. Over 79 % cellulose decomposition efficiency was obtained at stirring speed 10 rpm on hydraulic retention time 8 days. The injection of floating carriers did not significantly affect the methane production, but it increased diversity of the bacterial flora and the number of bacteria.
