what is a biogas plant? How is it different from a gobar gas plant?
Answers
Biogas is produced in a biogas plant it is produced by the decomposition process carried by the microorganisms the slurry left behind is used as an excellent manure which is rich in nitrogen and phosphorus
The plants using cow dung are known as Gobar gas plants
Explanation:
Biogas is a type of biofuel that is naturally produced from the decomposition of organic waste. When organic matter, such as food scraps and animal waste, break down in an anaerobic environment (an environment absent of oxygen) they release a blend of gases, primarily methane and carbon dioxide. Because this decomposition happens in an anaerobic environment, the process of producing biogas is also known as anaerobic digestion.Anaerobic digestion is a natural form of waste-to-energy that uses the process of fermentation to breakdown organic matter. Animal manure, food scraps, wastewater, and sewage are all examples of organic matter that can produce biogas by anaerobic digestion. Due to the high content of methane in biogas (typically 50-75%) biogas is flammable, and therefore produces a deep blue flame, and can be used as an energy source.
