Design And Analysis of A Hydraulic Biogas Digester Using Agricultural Biomass
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Agricultural Biomass represents one of the most important sources of clean energy which can be used for domestic energy source, using different technologies. This can replace, partially or totally, the existing fossil fuels that are used today. Connected with the existing status of energy problem and the abandon biomass waste, this project is henceforth aimed at. In this paper different types of agricultural biomasses (dry leave, kitchen waste, sliced grass etc.) are used for obtaining biogas using the anaerobic fermentation process. The paper highlights the design for hydraulic digester of 300 liter capacity, made up of galvanized iron sheet, which consists digestion and hydraulic chambers for safety. A total of 120kg of biomass was charge and mixed with 360kg of water and made air tied. After twenty number of days, 0.7014kg of biogas was produced with maximum production on eleventh day.
