Biogas Research Paper

ABSTRACT

Biogas has been considered as an alternative renewable energy and row biogas needs to be upgraded in order to be use as vehicle fuels. Biogas is a product of an anaerobic digestion process compressing methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide. Biogas purification removes trace gases in biogas for safe utilization. The physical processes of carbon dioxide absorption and desorption respectively in a water scrubber. Bio-methane may be achieved using various plant configurations characterized by various power requirements with associated effects on bio-methane Sustainability. Plant located is analyzed with the aim to assess the energy conversion efficiency and economics of the upgrading process for transportation application.

Biogas can be produced from raw materials are such as crop residue, wet cow dung, vegetable waste, algae, poultry or piggery droppings and bagasse.

 Non-polluting: It is also considered to be non-polluting in nature. The production of biogas does not require waste materials so, it also help us to clean environment.

 Reduces landfills: It also uses up waste material found in landfills, dump sites and even farms across the country, allowing for decreased soil and water pollution.

 Heat generation: In the same way as natural gas, bio gas can be used for household applications such as cooking and heating. Compared with other renewable heat sources biogas is one of the more costly fuels, however, it offers to operate an existing natural gas heating system with green energy.

 Reduces greenhouse effect: It does not produce any toxic gases which are responsible for green house effect. On the other hand it uses the waste as feed to produce an environmental friendly

Little new technology has been introduced for streamlining the process and making it more cost effective. As a result, large scale industrial production of biogas is still not on the energy map. Although it could solve the energy issues being faced by countries all over the world, very few investors are willing to put in the start-up capital. It is also not the best idea to construct one Biogas plant per house, which means that a central system will have to be put into place.

 Contain Impurities: Biogas contains a number of impurities even after refining processes have been put into place. When compressed for use as fuel, these can become corrosive to the metal parts of engines.

 Unstable:

It is also somewhat unstable, making it prone to explosions if the methane comes in contact with oxygen and become flammable in nature. Even with all of the disadvantages present, countries have started to apply the uses of biogas in everyday life. Public transportation has been renewed and made efficient with the help of CNG. Remote locations that are off the electric grid receive a steady supply of power from these plants. The future use of biogas is bright, even with the problems it
