Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide the title system intended to utilize the gas generated from methane fermentation facilities for heat source and the photosynthesis promotion for plants, so designed that carbon dioxide stored by separating methane from gas generated from methane fermentation facilities is fed for the photosynthesis promotion for plants. CONSTITUTION:The methane fermentation gas generated from a methane fermentation facility 1 is raised in pressure to a specified level using a booster 2 and cooled by a cooler 3 to reduce its moisture content. The resulting gas is introduced into adsorption columns 4 each packed with an adsorbent, where adsorption of carbon dioxide in the fermentation gas is alternately performed by alternately changing the pressure in the respective columns. The resulting methane freed from carbon dioxide through its adsorption and separation is passed through the columns and introduced into a tank 7 where it is stored. The carbon dioxide adsorbed above is desorbed by a vacuum pump 6 and introduced into a tank 7 where it is stored. This carbon dioxide, according to the carbon dioxide concentration in a greenhouse 8, is fed, via a feeding means 9, into the greenhouse 8. The methane stored in the tank 5 is consumed as a fuel into an energy source for the space heating and cooling of the greenhouse 8 and the methane fermentation facility 1, etc. Feed of carbon dioxide or methane is controlled by a controlling means 11 according to the conditions desired.

It is supplied into the greenhouse for a predetermined period of time. The carbon dioxide concentration in the greenhouse can be measured using a known sensor, gas detector, or the like. It depends on the target plants, etc., but normally in a greenhouse there is about 350 ppm of carbon dioxide in the natural state, but in order to promote photosynthesis, 700 ppm of carbon dioxide gas is present.
It is said that the presence of carbon dioxide gas of ~3,000 ppm is preferred. In order to maintain this carbon dioxide concentration during photosynthesis, for example, in a greenhouse with an area of 10 are and a height of 3.5 m,
When applying carbon dioxide gas for 4 hours from 8 a.m. to 12 noon on Sundays, 1 to 10 kg of carbon dioxide gas is required per hour.

It has an increase of 0 Kcal/Nm' and can be supplied to a suitable combustion device such as a burner and burned with other auxiliary fuels for heating a greenhouse if necessary. Normally, 0.5 to 0.7 kg of methane is obtained per 1 kg of carbon dioxide gas, so the obtained methane is not only used for combustion, but also used as fuel for heat engines such as gas engines and gas turbines, and used for power generation. It can be converted into various types of energy such as power, hot air, steam, hot water, and cold water, and can be used to power pressure swing devices, control weather conditions in greenhouses, etc.
It can be used for managing methane fermentation facilities and for other heating and cooling purposes.

The pressurized gas is introduced into an adsorption tower 4 filled with an adsorbent. The adsorption tower includes at least one tower, preferably two or more towers as shown in FIG. 1, and the pressure of the six towers is alternately varied to alternately adsorb carbon dioxide gas in the fermentation gas. The higher the number of columns, the higher the recovery rate of carbon dioxide gas, but the equipment cost also increases, so 2 to 6 columns is generally preferred. The methane from which carbon dioxide gas has been adsorbed and separated passes through the adsorption tower, is introduced into the tank 5, and is stored therein. On the other hand, the adsorbed carbon dioxide gas is desorbed by the vacuum pump 6, introduced into the tank 7, and accumulated. The carbon dioxide gas accumulated in the tank 7 is supplied into the greenhouse 8 via the supply means 9 according to the carbon dioxide concentration within the greenhouse 8 . Further, the methane accumulated in the tank 5 is sent to a burner or a heat engine 10, where it is consumed as fuel, and is used to control weather conditions such as heating and cooling in the greenhouse 8, or as an energy source for a methane fermentation facility or other purposes. The supply of carbon dioxide gas and methane is controlled by control means 11 according to desired conditions.
