⠀ ⠀☆ Biogas Plant ☆

⠀

Definition

• A biogas plant is where biogas is produced by fermenting biomass.

⠀

Structure

⠀

1. It consists of a mixing tank where a slurry of animal dung is prepared by mixing it with water.

⠀

2. The slurry is fed into the digester. The digester is a sealed chamber in which there is no oxygen. Anaerobic decomposition of bio-mass takes place in the digester. The biogas so produced collects in the dome from which it is drawn through pipes for use.

⠀

3. As biogas keeps collecting in the dome, it exerts pressure on the slurry in the digester tank. This pressure forces the spent slurry to flow into the overflow tank.

⠀

4. The spent slurry is gradually removed and is used as a manure.

⠀

5. To get a continuous supply of biogas, fresh slurry is added periodically.
