Domestic Biogas Plant

Mechanical Engineering

In today’s fast-growing world, the speed of energy consumption is rising at unexpected rates with each passing day. Development of renewable and sustainable energy source is that the best solution to the country’s energy demands. In this context, Biogas generation must be given proper attention. Biogas is one type of renewable source of energy. Biogas is the combination of different gases produced by the breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen, primarily consisting of methane and carbon dioxide. It can be used as alternative fuel instead of LPG for household cooking. But the technology needs to improve for the production of biogas at a higher-efficiency. The problem occurs during the biogas generation is that the temperature inside the digester is not constant because of the seasonal variation in weather as a result production rate of biogas is decreased. In this study we only use green waste for the production of the biogas. To overcome this problem we used aluminium digester along with the heating system to control the temperature variation inside the digester and also we used some inorganic additives to enhance the production rate furthermore.
