APPLICATION OF SOLAR ENERGY IN ANAEROBIC PROCESSES TO FIGHT AGAINST ENVIRONMENT CONTAMINATION

ABSTRACT It is utilizing solar energy and heat pumps so that with the help of them, an adecuate temperature is maintained in biological processes, optimizing the same and avoiding the consuption of energy. Any biodegradable organic material could be used to reduce contamination, and also produce bioenergy in form of methane gas. This investigation is based on the incorporation as base materials of residues that generate a high level of contamination. At the same time we propose to utilize solar panels of rubber and of very low cost and without transparent cover, and which give very good results working at 10°C above the environmental temperature. This colectors give us the first thermic jump that in case it is not sufficient to realize the anaerobic process, particulary in the thermophilic rank, this will give us a thermic source of high temperature that will be the cold point of a heat pump that raises the temperature to ranges adecuate in order for the thermofilic digestion to function.
