Q. Explain the biogas plants with a labelled diagram.
Answer: A biogas plant is indeed a facility that allows anaerobic digestion to take place in an oxygen-free environment.
Simply described, it’s a manmade system that converts trash to renewable power and fertilizers while also having a positive impact on the environment.
The biogas manufacturing process is made feasible by three primary components of a biogas plant:
-
The raw materials are received and processed for anaerobic digestion in the reception area. Because each category of biomass has a unique fermentation process, the length of the biogas process of production varies based on the raw materials used
-
Crop residues, industrial and municipal sewage, seafood, food processing, and even paper wastes are among the most prominent biomass sources, although the variety of raw resources used is much wider
-
The digester is a watertight, airtight container with a biomass intake point. You present the raw materials that will be converted into energy here. The biomass is then agitated regularly to liberate the vapors and prevent the creation of layers. The digester also has a pipe that allows the biosolids to be withdrawn once the fermentation process is complete
-
The gas catcher is an airtight container, preferably constructed of steel, that catches the gas produced during the fermentation process. It has a gas outlet, which allows the biogas to escape the system and provide energy and heat.A facilty may include multiple digesters and gas holders, depending on the amount of trash you want to remove from the ecosystem or the amount of biogas we need to create
