Biogas Generation From Plant and Animal Wastes, Its Purification, Compression and Storage/Usage

Ezekoye, V. A.

Abstract :

This study focused on biogas production from Irish moss, cattle dung and rice husk, using batch operation method. The slurry of the pre-decayed waste was charged into the biogas digester in different ratios. The proximate analysis of the slurry of the waste showed some variations in the values of the parameters analyzed. Biogas was produced which was scrubbed using chemical and adsorption methods. Biogas was compressed in a different cylinder for home usage. The total viable count of each waste was done. Biogas production was measured for 63days. The biogas produced from cattle dung was the highest, 973 litres, followed by Irish moss, 496 litres, and then rice husk, 494 liters. The digestion was done under mesophilic temperature. The percentage of the methane component of biogas produced from cattle dung, Irish moss, and rice husk were 83.0 %, 72. 7 %, and 52.3 % respectively
