Abstract
Biogass Generation from Standard China Rubber Processing Effluent
A production test has been carried out for biogass
generation from Standard China Rubber (SCR) processing effluent. The results
showed that the biogas yield exceeded 1m3/m3.day in
the process of fermentation at ambient temperature. It means that about
30 m3 biogas containing 60% of methane can be generated from
the effluent (latex-serum) on processing one ton of SCR; heat derived being
equivalent to that of about 15 kg fuel oil. This amount accounts for 44%
of the heat energy needed for drying one ton of SCR now in China (i.e. heat
derived from ca. 35 kg of heavy oil and diesel oil). Biogass generation
from SCR processing effluent is feasible technologically and economically,
a part of energy needed for drying standard rubber can be saved each year.
In addition, the environmental pollution of water by the effluent could
be considerably mitigated so as to set up a good foundation for the treatment
of SCR processing effluent.
