The Bio-Gas Plant produces gas from the raw materials of human excreta and cowdung. The residue obtained from the plant is used as the food of fish. It is a system to process livestock wastes into safe, high-quality, efficient organic fertilizer without exhausting greenhouse gases into the air. These gas plants also contribute to safe-keeping and clean environment by preventing bad odor and contamination of the underground. Furthermore, they are capable of generating electric power and hot water by processing methane gas which is produced during the fermentation process. Widespread use of the bio-gas plants could deliver a badly needed means of energy self-sufficiency, and the decentralized structure of the biogas plants means less need for expensive distribution of energy in rural areas.
Alternate Raw- Material
To improve economy of bio-gas plants scientists have discovered other organic substances that can be used alongwith the manure. The usage of these as raw material also improves the production level of Bio Gas Plants.
The raw material used are:-
Animal dung
Poultry wastes
Plant wastes ( Husk, grass, weeds etc.)
Industrial wastes(Saw dust, wastes from food processing industries)
Domestic wastes (Vegetable peels, waste food materials)
Human excreta
Benefits of Using a Biogas Plant
There are substantial benefits of using a biogas plant and some of them are as follows:
Best Fertilizer: this gas plant produces excellent fertilizer rich in nitrogen by processing cow dung. Fertilizer is produced from the biogas digester from organic waste. Such fertilizers contain a large amount of nitrogen than the other conventionally produced fertilizers.
Eco-friendly: biogas plant helps to promote an environment friendly atmosphere by recycling waste products thereby reducing the greenhouse effects. By proper recycling of harmful waste materials, the natural resources are preserved for future generations.
Easy to produce: with the help of these plants, it
