BIO GAS PLANT PROCESS DESCRIPTION:
FLOW CHART: CRUSHER(less than 7mm particle size)----thermophilic Aerobic digester(Temp 55 degree C  )---Mesophilic Anaerobic Digester(37 Degree C )---Manure Pit
Biotechnology process
stage one : hydrolysis by hydrolytic bactaria, conversion of extracellular molecules
stage two : thermophilic fermentation based on carbohydrates
stage three : synthesis of volatile fatty acids by acetogenic bacteria
stage four : synthesis of methane by methanogenic organisms



The Principle:

Add bio degradable Solid waste  into predigestor tank. 
Use of thermophilic microbes for faster degradation of the waste. The growth of thermophiles in the predigestor tank is assured by mixing the waste with hot water and maintaining the temperature in the range of 55-60oC. The hot water supply is from a solar heater. Even one-hour sunlight is sufficient per day to meet the needs of hot water.

After the predigestor tank the slurry enters the main anaerobic tank where it undergoes mainly anaerobic degra-dation by a consortium of archae-bacteria belonging to Methanococcus group.  They produce mainly methane from the cellulosic materials in the slurry.

The undigested lignocellulosic and hemicellulosic materials then are passed on in the settling tank. After about a month high quality manure can be dug out from the settling tanks. Earth worm can be introduced to settling tank to speedup the process.There is no odour to the manure at all. The organic contents are high and this can improve the quality of humus in soil, which in turn is responsible for the fertility.The manure generated is high quality and can be used in fields.This manure can be supplied to farmers at the rate of 4-5 Rs. per Kg. Alternatively municipal gardens and local gardens can be assured of regular manure from this biogas plant.

As the gas is generated in the main tank, the dome is slowly lifted up. This gas is a mixture of methane (70-75%), carbondioxide (10-15%) and water vapours (5-10%). It is taken through GI pipeline to the gas purification unit. Drains for condensed water vapour are provided on line. This gas burns with a blue flame and can be used for cooking as well.
The gas generated in this plant is used for gas lights fitted around the plant. The potential use of this gas would be for a canteen. The purified gas can be fed to bio fuel electric generator to produce electricity. Gas can be bottled and used to run vehicles.

* This is an approximate cost for biogas generation plant and may increase by 10%–20%, depending on location, site-specific parameters, cost of materials, labour cost, etc., in different states/cities. Cost of additional infrastructure like office space, toilets, security, Godown, Shades and power generation will be extra, if required.

Decentralised treatment options introduced in new rules.

The earlier rules relied on costly centralised facilities for treating and disposing municipal wastes while approximately 50 per cent of it can be easily turned into compost at the local level. Thus, the draft rules have made the much-needed provision for providing incentives to decentralised waste treatment facilities. 


Considering an average garbage generation per capita per day as 0.450 Kg, we can assume a total garbage generation for a population of 100,000 as 45,000 Kg per day

Proven on wide range of wastes and feedstocks including
  • Livestock and agricultural wastes
  • Biomass
  • Sewage and industrial sludges
  • MSW and catering wastes
  • Food industry wastes
  • Vegetable market waste
  • Restaurant Waste
  • Farm House/Cattle manure waste
  • Slaughter House/Tannery waste
  • Presumed waste
Suitable locations for installation of plant

Hotel premises, army/big establishment canteens (private/ government), residential schools/colleges, housing colonies, religious places / temple trusts, hospitals, hotels, sewage treatment plants, villages, etc.


POWER GENERATION: Bio Gas production = 100 cu mtr /day for 0.5 ton of waste
Methane content (65.75%) = 65.75 cu mtr
Calorific value =28.9 MJ/N.cu mtr
Energy content 65.75x28.9x273/(273+30)=1712 MJ/Day
Generator efficiency--- 30%
Electricity generated =0.3x1712x1000000/3600x1000
= 142.66
Electric power generated = 142.66x0.04167=5.944 kw say 6 kw
= 1.25x 6= 7.5 kva.
We can go for a gas engine of capacity 5 KW . If any gas is left , it will be flared or supplied to staff quarters

Multiply the number of animals by biogas production number...
Example: 600 hogs x 720 m3 biogas / hog / yr = 432000 m3 biogas / year

Multiply the result by the numbers below for cogeneration of electricity and heat...

____________ x 1.7 kWh/ m3 biogas = _________ kWh of electricity per year
____________ x 7.7 MJ/ m3 biogas = _________ MJ of heat per year

Multiply the result by the numbers below for heat production using boiler....
____________ x 15 MJ/ m3 biogas = _________ MJ of heat per year
