BIOMETHANATION
Biomethanation is the process of conversion of organic matter in the waste (liquid or solid) to biomethane and
manure by microbial action in the absence of air. The relative percentage of these gases in biogas depends on the
feed material and management of the process. Sources of Biomethane are from animal operations where manure
can be collected and the Biomethane is generated from anaerobic digesters where the manure decomposes.

Organic matter + anaerobic bacteria ---- CH4 + CO2 + H2S+ NH3 + other end products + energy

Biogas is a mixture of gases composed of following:

• Methane (CH4) 40 - 70 % by volume,
• Carbon dioxide (CO2) 30 – 60 % by volume,
• Other gases 1 – 5 % by volume including hydrogen (H2) 0-1 % by volume and hydrogen sulphide (H2S) 0 –
3 % by volume.

BIOGAS THERMAL APPLICATION

COMPRESSED BIOGAS SYSTEM: Thermal application is done either by filling the compressed biogas in cylinders
and then taking those cylinders to the application site or by direct burning of the biogas at the generation site.

USING THE EFFLUENT

The material drawn from the digester is called sludge, or effluent. It is rich in nutrients (ammonia, phosphorus,
potassium, and more than a dozen trace elements) and is an excellent soil conditioner. It is being used widely as
organic fertilizer.

BENEFITS OF BIOGAS PLANTS

• A non-polluting and renewable source of energy is created in biogas plants. Under the process organic waste
is converted to useful fuel. It is an excellent way of energy conversion. Electrical power can be feed to the grid.

• Many types of raw material (other than dung) can be used in the plant: Poultry droppings, Agro & Farm Waste,
Kitchen Waste, Vegetable & Fruit Market Waste, Food Processing Waste and other Bio Degradable Waste.

• It destroys Methane, which is a potent greenhouse gas with a heat trapping capacity of approximately 21
times that of carbon-di-oxide. It thus leads to reduction of global warming.

• Biogas as a gas provides improvement in the environment, sanitation and hygiene by proper management of
waste. It improves ground water quality as anaerobic digestion provides several water quality benefits.

• Biogas digesters can destroy more than 90% of disease causing bacteria that can otherwise enter surface
water. Thus it reduces risk to human and animal health.
