Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article considers several aspects of creating a combined bioreactor heating system without the use of external power grid power sources. It's known to intensify anaerobic digestion of organic waste, the bioreactor temperature is maintained within a specified range. A bioreactor heating system based on a "water jacket" , that heated by combustion of coal-water fuel has been developed. A technology for preparing and burning coal-water fuel using a radial circulation injection device is offered. Calculations are performed to determine the optimal temperature regime for the combustion process. The results obtained can contribute to the optimization of waste management technologies and ensure environmental sustainability by reducing carbon dioxide emissions and waste accumulation.
