Abstract: A system and method are each directed to generating a biogas including methane by bacterial digestion of waste materials under anaerobic conditions. The waste digestion system includes three processing stages and a biogas production unit. The waste material is provided in the form of a water based slurry including solid particles having a distribution of particle sizes. The three processing stages are configured to remove and/or process the solid particles in the slurry, such that the biogas production unit receives a feedstock enriched in solid particles having a particle size suited for efficient digestion. The method generally includes processing the waste material in the three processing stages, digesting the waste material under anaerobic conditions, thereby generating the biogas.

Abstract: Methane is generated from animal waste by anaerobic digestion using bacteria. A screen separator removes suspended solids greater in size than a predetermined size ranging from about 50μ to about 150μ. An electrocoagulation unit electrochemically hydrolyses the waste, causing particles to settle out. A dissolved carbon air flotation has a CO2 bubbler for separating large particles from small particles by flotation. An anaerobic digester produces biogas. The digester has a biocurtain for growing the bacteria and a heat exchanger for heating the bacteria. The biocurtain surface is convoluted to retain the bacteria. A membrane module removes CO2. A knock out pot for removes droplets of water. A scrubber removes water vapor, particulates, and contaminant gas. A compressor boosts pressure. A gas chromatograph monitors the biogas composition. A flare skid lowers excess pressure for safety. Biogas is injected into a local pipeline system. A process control is used for controlling the anaerobic waste digestion system.
