Science

The author of 36 patents and authorship certificates, including:

  1. Method of separation of biogas. The invention relates to environmental biotechnology and can be used for the rational use of biogas obtained, for example, in the process of wastewater treatment. Patent of the Russian Federation N 2600379 dated 28.09.2016. Lukanin A.V., Takhtarova T. V.
    (https://yandex.ru/patents/doc/RU2600379C1_20161020 )
  2. Method of separation of biogas and purification of its components. At wastewater treatment aeration stations, there is an actual problem of sludge processing. As a result of its fermentation in methane tanks, biogas is released in large quantities, consisting of 70% methane and 30% carbon dioxide. Biogas from methane tanks goes directly to combustion. In order to use it more effectively, it is necessary to divide it into its constituent components. Russian patent N 2460575 dated 10.09.2012. Lukanin A.V., Takhtarova T. V., Krivoy B. A.

  3. Method of utilization of biogas of methane tanks. The invention relates to environmental biotechnology and can be used for the rational use of biogas in the process of wastewater treatment. A method for recycling biogas obtained in methane tanks is that the biogas is treated with a solution of monoethanolamine, which absorbs carbon dioxide. The resulting monoethanolamine solution is sent for regeneration, where carbon dioxide is desorbed from it by heating and reducing the pressure, and after cooling, biological deodorization of carbon dioxide is performed, then washed with an oxidizer, and methane extracted from biogas is disposed of. Russian patent N 2414282 of 20. 03. 2011. Lukanin A.V., Lavrushina Y. T., Martianov A. A., Sakharova A. I., Tarasova E. V.

The modular farmer installation of the protein-vitamin supplement production with the simultaneous disposal of grain production wastes has been developed. The technological scheme of the installation is missing the dirtiest and energy-intensive stages. (separation, drying and packaging).
Issues of utilization of solid household waste come to the first place in the activities of enterprises of housing and communal services. In particular, this waste includes sub-grid product of waste sorting plants (food waste), tree cuts, sewage sludge from aeration stations. At the same time, the second of the current problems that impede the further improvement of large cities is soil degradation and depletion of their natural fertility. Metropolitan areas need to constantly update their soils. It is advisable to use artificial soil having all the components for plant life and microbiota, as well as the necessary physical structure.
Biomass of microorganisms in aerogenic dissemination is an allergen and causes bronchopulmonary pathology. Organized source of air-gas emissions (AGE) in the production of protein - vitamin additives of any kind of raw materials are driers, bioreactors and separators. There were provided the results of a survey of a number of AGE production. There were developed new types of gas treatment equipment - vortex absorber and a mesh mist separator with continuous regeneration for bioreactors and separators. The greatest contribution to the AGE of fodder protein production make drying compartments. New technical solutions for their technological improvement did not on the path of increasing of gas treatment equipment capacity, but on the path to change hardware technological scheme. There were developed and tested a few schemes with varying degrees of closure of drying agent's (DA) circulation. The final decision was the scheme with a fully closed-loop circulation of DA, thus ensuring the full environmental safety and explosion-proof of drying compartments.
The technology and its hardware registration of modular installation is developed for reception of an albuminous vitamin additive. The technology and equipment are adapted for conditions of agriculture and doesn't contain power-intensive and ecologically «dirty» stages.
