 OUR TASK:
Our task is design the biogas Plant in an innovative way, calculate and
design the dimensions, specify the materials of construction, amount of
biogas production, and define the operational procedure.

 Biogas and its composition:

Biogas is produced by anaerobic digestion of organic materials like
animal dung, agricultural wastes and human excreta.
Biogas is produced methane (CH4), 65% carbon dioxide (CO2), 35% and
hydrogen sulphide (H2S).
 Ideal Conditions for gas production:
Biogas is produced by anaerobic (absence of air) digestion of organic
materials.
 Temperature: 20-35 0 C
 pH (Neutral)
 Retention time 80 days
 Dilution 1:1 (dung: water)
 Benefits of Biogas:
 Cooking
 Lighting
 Refrigeration, baking ovens
 Used for house warming and heating equipment
 Environment protection and sanitation: reducing water pollution
 Fertilizer for agricultural production
 Preliminary Calculation

◦ HRT= 80days
◦ Temperature: 20-25⁰ C
◦ Total cow:15
◦ Each cow produce 15 kg dung per day.
◦ 1 kg dung produce 40 litter of gas per day.
◦ Total amount of dung produce every day= (15*15)= 225 kg/day.
◦ Dilute Ratio (1:1) =(225*15) = 3375 liters
 Calculation Cont:
◦  
◦ HRT 80 days = (3375*80) =270000 litters
◦ Volume = = 270
◦ V= [ h=10]
◦ .`. D= 6m
◦ = = 1.2m
 Calculation Cont:
◦  
◦ Vgs (gas storage) = 0.05V = 0.05 * 270 = 13.5
◦ = 18
◦ (gas collection)= (18- 13.5) = 4.5
 Construction Materials:
◦ Cement-50 kg – 52 bags
◦ Water proof cement-1kg – 12 bags
◦ Quarry stones dressed (6X9) – 3 lorry
◦ Bricks-230x110x70mm – 550 pcs
◦ River Sand – 2 lorry
◦ Ballast – 2 ton
◦ Ballast chips( 1/4" ) – 2 ton
◦ Lime 25kg bags – 68 kg
 Construction Materials:
◦ Lime 25kg bags – 68 kg
◦ Binding wire – 10 kg
◦ Timber-2"x2" – 4.1 kg
◦ Plywood-3mm – 4 sheet
◦ Nails-3" – 2 kg
Pipe Selection:
◦ Black steel pipe
◦ PVC pipe
◦ Gate Valve
Pump Selection:
◦ Submersible pump.
Others Material Selection:
◦ Hydraulic floor discharge machine .
◦ Conveyor Belt.
◦ Moisture Tap.
◦ De-sulfurizes.
◦ Distribution header.
◦ Heater.
◦ Fan.
◦ Gas Collector.

Amount of Biogas Production:
 Advantage of Biogas:

1. Biogas is Eco-Friendly.
2. Biogas Generation Reduces Soil and Water Pollution.
3. Biogas Generation Produces Organic Fertilizer.
4. It’s A Simple and Low-Cost Technology That Encourages A
Circular Economy.
5. Healthy Cooking Alternative For Developing Areas.
 Disadvantage of Biogas:

◦ 1. Few Technological Advancements

◦ 2. Contains Impurities
◦ 3. Effect of Temperature on Biogas Production
◦ 4. Less Suitable For Dense Metropolitan Areas
 Project Summary :

Our task was to design the biogas Plant in an innovative way. We

have implemented this plan in such way so that after the biogas is
produced, the remaining sludge is turned into fertilizer. We have
designed it in such way so that we have to use minimum power &
man power to get the maximum amount of biogas & electricity as
possible.
