COMPRESSED BIOGAS AND BOTTLING (CAPACITY: 5 TPD)
: EIRI/EDPR/4821 J.C.3042XL
Biogas is a clean, un-polluting, smoke and soot free fuel. It contains 55 to 70 per cent methane which is inflammable. Biogas is produced from cattle dung, human excreta and organic matter in a “Biogas Plant” commonly known as “gobar gas plant” through a process called “digestion”. The manorial value of the dung is also enhanced by this process. It helps in simultaneously obtaining both cooking fuel and enriched manure from cattle dung. Besides, women and children are saved from hardship and drudgery of collecting and head solid loading of heavy bundles of firewood, explore to smoke in the kitchen and time consuming cooking. It has also improved village / urban sanitation.
The current use of fossil fuels is rapidly depleting the natural reserves. The natural formation of coal and oil however, is a very slow process which takes ages. Therefore, a lot of research effort is put into finding renewable fuels nowadays to replace fossil fuels. Renewable fuels are in balance with the environment and contribute to a far lesser extent to the greenhouse effect.
Biogas is a renewable fuel, an energy source that can be applied in many different settings. It is defined as a combustible gas mixture produced by the anaerobic fermentation of biomass by bacteria and takes only a relatively short time to form. In nature, the fermentation process occurs in places where biological material is fermented in an oxygen deprived environment such as swamps and waterbeds. The two main sources of biogas from human activities are domestic garbage landfills and fermentation of manure and raw sewage. The advantage of processing these waste products anaerobically, compared to aerobically, is the larger decrease in volume of waste product.
The bio-gas produced from food waste, decomposable organic material and kitchen waste, consisting of methane and a little amount of carbon di oxide is an alternative fuel for cooking gas (LPG). Also, the waste materials can be disposed of efficiently without any odor or flies and the digested slurry from the bio-gas unit can be used as an organic manure in the garden. The major components of the bio-gas plant are a digester tank, an inlet for feeding the kitchen waste, gas holder tank, an outlet for the digested slurry and the gas delivery system for taking out and utilizing the produced gas. This project is also useful for students to have a hands-on learning experience in constructing a Mini Bio-Gas Plant, using locally available material.
