    BIOGAS PLANTS

    Submitted by : Bhaskar Joshi


    What is biogas ??
     Biogas typically refers to a gas produced by the
    biological breakdown of organic matter in the
    absence of oxygen.
     Biogas is produced by anaerobic digestion or
    fermentation of biodegradable materials such as
    biomass, manure, sewage, municipal waste, green
    waste, plant material and energy crops.
     This type of biogas comprises primarily methane
    and carbon dioxide.
    Uses of Biogas
     The gases methane, hydrogen and carbon monoxide can be
    combusted or oxidized with oxygen. Air contains 21%
    oxygen. This energy release allows biogas to be used as a
    fuel.
     Biogas can be used as a low-cost fuel in any country for any
    heating purpose, such as cooking.
     It can also be used in modern waste management facilities
    where it can be used to run any type of heat engine, to
    generate either mechanical or electrical power.
     Biogas can be compressed, much like natural gas, and used
    to power motor vehicles.
     In the UK, for example, it is estimated to have the potential
    to replace around 17% of vehicle fuel.
    Major advantages of biogas
     Visible improvement in rural hygiene.
     Environmental benefits on a global scale.
     Protects the earth's natural resources.
     Eco friendly energy production.
     Boon for the rural economy.
    Biogas Plants
     A biogas plant is the name often given to an
    anaerobic digester that treats farm wastes or energy
    crops.
     These plants can be fed with energy crops such as
    maize silage or biodegradable wastes including
    sewage sludge and food waste.
     During the process, an air-tight tank transforms
    biomass waste into methane producing renewable
    energy that can be used for heating, electricity, and
    many other operations.

    Types of biogas plants
    The most important types of biogas plants used in
    INDIA are:

     Janata Fixed Dome type


     KVIC Floating Drum type
     Deenbandhu fixed dome type
     Shramik bandhu biogas plant
    KVIC Floating Drum Plant

     Initial cost of installation is more for the Khadi Village Industries


    Commission plant.
     Cost or repair and maintenance during operation is relatively high.
     Steel gas holder needs to be replaced due to corrosion effect.
     Life of digester is expected to be 30 years and that of the gas holder is
    5-7 years.
     Drum, which is exposed over the ground, does not allow the use of
    space over the plant for other purposes.
     As the gas holder is metallic, the low temperature during winters
    effects the gas production.
     Most suitable for dung and night soil, other organic materials may
    clog the inlet pipe.
    About KVIC Cont…..
     Construction of digester is simple and hence no
    skilled labour is required but fabrication of gas
    holder requires workshop facility
     Requires less excavation work during installation
     Location of defects in gas holder and its repair is
    easy and can be done in the workshop
     Release of gas is at constant pressure because of
    fixed weight of steel gas holder and hence
    efficiency of plant is higher.
    Typical KVIC biogas plant
    Deenbandhu Fixed Dome Plant
     Capital investment for corresponding size of the plant
    is less.
     As there are no moving parts, the maintenance cost is
    high.
     Steel gas holder is not required.
     Life of the plant is expected to be comparatively more.
     As the unit is underground, the space above the plant
    can be used for other purposes.
     Effect of low temperature is less.
    About Deenbandhu Cont….
     Construction of dome portion of unit is a skilled
    job and only trained mason can do it.
     Requires more excavation work.
     Location of defects in the dome and their repair is
    difficult.
     Release of gas is at variable pressure and it may
    cause reduction in efficiency of gas appliances.
     It could be easily modified and adopted for use of
    other types of organic wastes.
