Determination residence time distribution of the solid phase in a dry anaerobic semi-continuous horizontal reactor of 0.5 m3 using innovative 3D printed tracers

Résumé

Solid residence time distribution (SRTD) analysis is important in the design, modeling, and operation of solid biomass in continuous dry anaerobic digestion (D-AD) reactors. SRTD analysis could allow the appropriately adjust of the applicable organic charge and the study of unusable volume due to solid accumulation and preferential pathways. The lack of sustainable, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective solid tracers limits the study of solid flow patterns in D-AD digesters. In this study, 3D printing enabled the fabrication of customized Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) tracers with a specific shape to perform SRTD analysis of the semi-continuous digestion of straw-cattle manure (SCM) in a horizontal reactor of 0.5 m3. The recovery of tracers at the reactor outlet allowed the determination of the average SRTD at 29.43 days. Solid convection was predominant over diffusion, indicating that the reactor behaves closer to a plug flow reactor (PFR) rather than a complete stirred tank reactor.
