EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this project was to design a Biogas plant to produce biogas from Rural domestic waste for 5000 people. In the beginning we studied various gasification technologies to produce biogas which mainly focuses on various types of digesters available. The Rural Domestic waste available to us is first brought to the production site by various channels. The waste than has to treated and made ready for segregation. The feed is passed through various units separating various types of recoverable material which will be sold at later stage adding economic value to
