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 the
digester is rich in ammonium and other
nutnients used as an organic furtilizer
methane formation in an acrobic
digestion in volves four different
steps including hydrolysis,
acidogenesis, acetogenesis and
methanogenesis. Different bacteria /
archacea communities work in a syntrophic relationship with each other to form methane.
