BIO GAS
(1) Bio Gas the metabolic product of anaerobic digestion is a mixture of methane and carbon
dioxide with small quantities of H2S. Methane is the desired component of biogas is a
colourless blue burning gas used for cooking heating and lighting Bio gas is a clean
efficient and renewable source of energy which can be used as a substitute for other fuels
in order to save energy in rural areas. In anaerobic digestion organic materials are
degraded by bacteria in the absence of Oxygen converting it into a methane and carbon
dioxide mixture.
The digestate or slurry

from

digester is rich in ammonium

(3) Principles for production of Bio gas : Anerobic digestion

Aerobic digestion

 The

digestion

process

occurring

in

presence of Oxygen is called

Aerobic

digestion and produces mixture

of

having CO2. The chief GHG

responsible for

global warming.
The digestion process occurring
Oxygen is called

anaerobic

gases

without
digestion

which generates mixture of

gases. The gas

produced

methane

which

is

mainly

produces 5200 5800 KJ/m3

which

burned at normal room temp

and presents a

viable environmentally friendly

energy source

when

to replace fossil fucues.

(4) Benefits of Bio gas technology : Production of energy
Transformation of organic waste to very high quality fertilizer.
Improvement of hygenic condition through reduction of pathogen.
Micro economical benefits by energy and fertilizer substitutes.
(5) Application of Bio gas in Household Digester
Cooking & heating
Bio gas stoves
Fertilizer
Lighting
and
power

generation,

Besides common applications

domestic

biogas is also utilized for other

purposes.

Gas powered refrigerators

can run on

household biogas which is a

well known

application in Kenya. In India

around

4600

connected to

public

toilets

are

biogas digesters by a local NGO to improve social living conditions of the people
similarly in Nepal, Public toilets are connected to biogas digestion to light these
toilets.
