Biogas Technology - The Process
- Anaerobic (obligate and facultative) bacteria break down and simplify complex organic compounds through a series of well-defined steps for Biogas generation.
- Biogas is composed of methane and carbon dioxide in app. 3:2 ratio along with much smaller quantities of water vapors, sulfur, nitrogen and other trace compounds.
- Organic feedstocks like crop/agri residues, kitchen residues, animal wastes or similar materials serve as “substrate”.
- Agri residues and large sized vegetations are generally broken down.
- Diluted substrate is thoroughly mixed to form a slurry, that undergoes anaerobic digestion in the sealed oxygen-free chamber.
- The remaining material is removed from the chamber as sludge/ effluent and the biogas is collected under pressure for subsequent usage.
