Biogas is produced by decomposition of organic product matter in the absence of oxygen. Raw materials from agriculture, manure, animal droppings, residues from the food and agro-industry, Municipal waste, are great feed stock for biogas production. This also leads to better solid waste management and a cleaner environment.
Biogas is produced with the help of anaerobic digestion with anaerobic organisms or Methanogens, which digest material inside a closed system, or fermentation of biodegradable materials. This closed system is called an Anaerobic Digester, Bio-reactor or a Bio-digester.
Biogas is a fuel gas in a mixture of methane (CH4) ,CO2 and may have small amounts of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), moisture and siloxanes. The gases methane, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide (CO) can be combusted or oxidized with oxygen. This energy release allows biogas to be used as a fuel. Bio gas can be used for any type of heating purpose, such as home cooking & can also effectively be used for Power Generation
The Main Equipments in Biogas Plant are:
- Shredder
- Feed cum mixing tank
- Bio-Digester
- Gas Collection chamber
In the Biogas Plant, Organic waste is crushed in small pieces and fed to the Feed Tank by gravity from where it is pumped into the Bio-digester. The biogas generated from the Bio-digesters will be collected in a specially designed Biogas Balloon. The stored Biogas can be used for the heating/electricity generation purpose.
