The biogas plant – some technical considerations Biogas generation Plant: The biogas plant consists of two components: a digester (or fermentation tank) and a gas reservoir. The digester is a cubic or cylindrical shaped impermeable container with a mouth into which the fermentable mixture is introduced in the form of a slurry. The gas reservoir…

Do you have a biodigester? Filling a Biogas Digester for Starting: Congratulations! Conditions are good for biogas to save the world and you, the new owner of biodigesters, are at the forefront. But before you make biogas, you need to establish a community of microbes in the bamboo tank/bag/dome biodigester that you just built, bought,…
I. Wood and woody biomass in Classifications of Biomass In classifications of biomass Woody biomass is a biomass-derived from trees. Classifications of biomass are classified into construction waste, sawmill waste and forest waste (such as twigs and fallen leaves in the mountains). Woody biomass is a renewable energy source, as new forests can be developed…
Thermochemical conversion technologies Biomass conversion technologies: Thermochemical conversion is an efficient method of converting biomass into biofuels. It includes two different categories: dry (non-aqueous) techniques and hydrothermal techniques. In a dry thermochemical biomass conversion technologies process, with increasing temperature, the biomass mainly undergoes structural destruction, degrading into condensable vapours and finally decomposing into gaseous molecules….
Biogas generation plants In Biogas generation plants a decentralized energy system, which can lead to self-sufficiency in thermal and energy needs and, at the same time, reduce environmental pollution. The main components of a modern biogas (or anaerobic digestion) plant include manure collection, anaerobic digester, effluent treatment, biogas storage and use of biogas/electricity generation equipment….
Choice of feed material of biogas digester design consideration Biogas digester design consideration: So you have a potential site for a biogas plant and, as in most cases, as a developer of a new plant, you will have at least some organic matter to use as feedstock. However, there is a decision to be made…
Advantages and disadvantages of biogas: Worldwide interest in renewable energy sources is gaining momentum. Biogas production is continuously growing as more and more people install biogas plants to produce biogas. Biogas is ecological Biogas is a renewable source of energy. The gas generated by bio digestion is not a pollutant; it reduces greenhouse gas emissions…
