The Pattern of Dung Feeding and Maintenance Practices of Biogas Plants in the Chhattisgarh Plains, India

Abstract

The operation and maintenance scope for a biogas system includes all work and inspections needed to ensure smooth functioning and longevity of service. There are general rules that apply to the entire biogas system and aim at enhancing and maintaining the functioning of the system. A field study was carried out during the year 2006 to 2008 on Biogas plants covering 11 districts of Chhattisgarh plains. The knowhow on biogas technology, maintenance practices and dung fed (%) were varying from districts to districts. The sample having floating drum type biogas plants and fixed DB type biogas were found to have dung water ratio between1:2 but there proportion varied from Floating Drum (FD) to Deen Bandhu (DB) Model. Adoption and non- adoption pattern in case of once in a day, once in two to three days and once in a week for FD and DB were tested by chi squire test.
