Original abstract

First part of the paper deals with biogas produced in the process of anaerobic digestion. Possibilities of biogas utilization are commented briefly. Laboratory fermentation unit that was built at the Institute of Process and Environmental Engineering (UPEI VUT) is described further on. The laboratory fermentation unit is used for digestion of new types of substrate and for process optimization. Finally, the biogas plant built in Sweden is described. Biogas produced there is treated and used as a fuel for public transport vehicles.

Czech abstract

Příspěvek popisuje proces anaerobní fermentace, při které vzniká bioplyn. Stručně jsou uvedeny způsoby využití bioplynu. V příspěvku je popsána konstrukce a možnosti využití laboratorní fermentační jednotky, která byla vybudována na Ústavu procesního a ekologického inženýrství FSI VUT v Brně. Závěrem je uveden praktický příklad bioplynové stanice zpracovávající vytříděný bioodpad a vybrané zemědělské produkty s využitím bioplynu v dopravě.
