BIOGAS Energy The byproduct of anaerobic digestion of organic materials are commonly referred to as " biogas " because of the biological nature of gas production. Biogas technology refers to the production of a combustible gas (called biogas ) and a value added fertilizer (called slurry or sludge) by the anaerobic fermentation of organic material under certain controlled conditions. Biogas produced by microbial activities and can be used only at the place where it is produced. PROCESS:- The different pathways of the bio-methanation process are suggested by several investigators. Macro level energy conversion of organic waste into bio- menthanation . In this process of conversion of energy from organic mass is mainly utilized in cell synthesis and formation of methane and carbon dioxide besides some part of it remains in the effluent. A simple flow chart may describe the three step process of bio-methanation. Hydrolysis : - Sapr...
