In the samples from cattle’s manure, a concentration of dried matter (DM) is 3.73%, and in samples of pig’s manure dried matter equal to 2.11%. A concentration of organie dried matter in the cattle’s manure is morę than in the pig’s manure (respectively 72.14 and 66.15%).
Obtained results show, that manure of various animals have unequal specific methane yield at anaerobic fermentation (fig. 1 and 2). In experiments with liquid cattle’s manure morę than 8% of specific methane yield have been determined in the first 10 days, morę than 55% of methane have been formed to the 20 days, morę than 91% - to the 30 days.
At the analysis of experimental results of specific methane yield from liquid pig’s manure, the late intensive methane formation was determined. Morę than 10% of methane is formed to the 25 days. These data denote that HTR of pig liquid manure is longer than HTR of cattle liquid manure. Morę than 85% of specific methane has yielded from cattle’s manure have been determined to the 25 days, and from pig’ manure - to the 35 days. Large-scale biogas production from cattle and pig manures don’t require these kinds of materials in large quantity and long HTR don’t lead to the microorganisms washing-off.
The process of biogas formation occurs in four phases: 1) hydrolysis phase - hydrolytic microorganisms such as bacteria of genus
Bacteroides, Propioni-bactńum,
Sporobacterium, Megasphaera decompose the macromolecular organie compounds into morę smali molecules. Hydrolysis of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids occurs within a few hours. 2) acidogenic phase - hydrolysis products are decomposed into morę simpler substances (acids, alcohols, carbon dioxide - CO2, hydrogen - H2) with partieipation of various facultative and obligate anaerobic bacterias (genus Clostridium, Ruminococcus etc.); 3) acetogenic phase - formation of acetic acid, carbon dioxide and hydrogen. Ali acetogenic bacteria (genera Desulfovibrio,
Aminobacterium, Acidaminococcus) have a long period of reproducing up to 84 hours, 4) methanogenesis - methane formation from carbon dioxide and hydrogen mixture or from acetic acid; carbon dioxide is a secondary product (C02). Active methanogens are formed on the second phase of fermentation- acid-forming phase; however, the numbers of methanogenic Archaeae are obviously inereased in methanogenic phase. Methanobacterium, Methanospirillum, Melhanosarcina are the main species, their reproducing time is from 5 up to 16 days [5, 6].
