bioreactor

Ukraine has significant land resources for agriculture and is able to provide its population not only with food but also with raw materials for bioenergy.

As raw materials in bioenergy can be used agricultural residues formed in the process of harvesting crops and the process of their processing, in particular straw cereals, legumes, corn and sunflower seeds, etc. For energy needs, agricultural biomass is used by burning or processing into solid, liquid, or gaseous fuels. In the production of gaseous fuel in special plants - bioreactors, agricultural waste is formed not only as a source of energy - biogas, but also as excellent fertilizers.

Rational form of reservoir was set and the typical number of household biogas plants was presented. The analysis of different types of thermal insulation to reduce the heat loading on the heating system of bioreactor was carried out. The amount of thermal energy flowing into the tank from the solar radiation was defined. The results are presented in graphic and empirical form.
