Biogas

Biogas which is mainly methane (CH4), is a gas produced from the digestion of organic materials in an oxygen-free environment (anaerobic) fermentation. Biogas is mainly composed of 50 to 80 percent methane, 15 to 40 percent carbon dioxide (CO2) and low amount of other gases (see Table). The composition of the biogas depends on the type of feedstock and the type of anaerobic digestion.

How it can be used :

It can be burned in boilers as natural gas it can burned with the purpose of thermal and electrical production and after treatment biogas can be used as fuel for vehicles.

Benefits of Biogas :

  • Saving on energy cost
  • Free organic manure
  • Pollution free & clean environment

Electricity :

Biogas can be used run gas converted generator to produce electricity on any scale. 1 M3 of biogas can produce 1,5 KWh of electricity.

Bio-Manure :

Biogas technology allows quick production of bio manure which is rich in organic substances.

Main advantages of biogas :

  • Production of green electricity and heat
  • Considerable environmental advantages -less methane, carbon dioxide and emission of nitrous oxides
  • Environmentally friendly recirculation of organic waste from industry and households
  • Less odour inconveniences when spreading slurry – fermented slurry smells considerably less than normal slurry and the smell decreases faster
  • Protection of subsoil water – improved nitrogen exploitation which reduces leaching and thus protects the drinking water
  • Reduces costs for artificial fertilizer
  • Any biodegradable matter can be used as a substrate

Biogas Plants for Thermal Applications

Large size plants of various capacities are being installed to meet the community cooking and running of boiler fuel needs. Reduction in the consumption of conventional energy sources such as firewood and LPG.

Plant production capacity depends on the availability of fuel source locally, production and consumption should be matched, our experience and feasibility studies as shown that will be cost effective and can be reached break-evens. By working with directly the following benefits were enjoyed by Institutions/Industries.

Potential Users :

Temples, Dairy Farms, Food Industries, Gaushalas (cows shelters), (Old age Homes) Homes runs by Govt. and Non Govt. Sector and Educational Institutions.

If maintains responsibilities were to given to firm which installed, the plants worked without any troubles.
