    The document is a PowerPoint presentation about biogas. It discusses how biogas is produced through the degradation of animal waste in the absence of oxygen. Biogas has several advantages - it is clean, non-polluting, and cheap to produce; the leftover sludge can be used as fertilizer; and it eliminates health hazards from untreated animal waste. The presentation includes diagrams of real biogas plants and different biogas digester designs. It explains the anaerobic digestion process and important factors like stirring and retention time. Finally, it mentions how biomass can be converted to fuels like ethanol and methanol.

    Energy & Environment

    This is a PowerPoint that will


    teach you about energy and
    the need for biogas.

    Advantages of Biogas

    Biogas

    Biogas is a mixture of carbon dioxide , methane hydrogen


    and hydrogen sulphide, the major constituent being
    methane

    It is produced by degradation of animal wastes in the


    presence of water

    Biogas is very useful for rural areas where a lot of animal


    waste and agriculture waste is available .

    Chemical

    Electrical

    Light

    Kinetic

    Heat

    Dr. S. Mohana Roopan, SAS, VIT University

    It is clean , non polluting and cheap.


    There is direct supply of gas from the
    plant and there is no storage of
    problems.
    The sludge left over is a rich fertilizer
    containing bacterial biomass with most
    of the nutrients preserved as such.
    Air tight degradation of the animal
    wastes is safe as it eliminates health
    hazard

    How Does Biogas Work?

    What is important
    Stirring

    Anaerobic means
    that there is NO
    oxygen present!

    Prevents scum growth

    Retention Time
    Effected by temperature, dilution, loading

    rate, etc.
    A normal period for the digestion of dung
    would be 2 to 4 weeks
    At high temperature bio-digestion occurs faster

    BIOFUEL
    Biomass can be fermented to alcohos
    like ethanol and methanol which can be
    used as fuels.
    Its burns clean and is non polluting .
    Gasohol is a common used in Brazil and
    zimbawe for running car and buses.
    Methanol is very useful since it burns at
    a lower temperature than gasoline or
    diesel
