Design, Development and Performance Evaluation of an Anaerobic Plant
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
The need for safe and cost effective alternative energy source is a major challenge facing developing economies globally. This study explored the design, development and performance evaluation of a cost effective anaerobic plant using locally available materials. The digester was fabricated at Amalgamated Tin Mining of Nigeria workshop using locally available materials such as mild steel, galvanize and copper pipes. The digester was used to digest cow dung mixed with water in the ratio of 1/1 by weight for a retention period of 12 days. Fifty (50kg) of cow dung of white Fulani cows that fed on the open field grasses in some part of Northern Nigeria were collected. The qualitative analysis of the biogas produced showed that the biogas contained 85.331% methane, 0.014% air, 0.013% carbon mono oxide, 1.596% Nitrogen and 13.011% carbon dioxide.
