Bio-Gas Plant

 

GENERATION OF ELECTRICITY FROM BIOGASThere are regular waste disposal problems in almost all Institutions like hostels, hospitals, convents, old age-homes, etc where more peoples are staying together. In the same time the cooking fuel consumption of these Institutions is also very high. Fairly large quantities of firewood and other cooking fuels are consumed for routine cooking purposes. HOLLANDIA BIOTECH is keen to educate these institutions about the advantage of using non-conventional energy sources. Most of these institutions rear cattle, the dung of which can also be utilized as a feed material to the biogas plant. The biogas generated will sufficiently reduce the regular consumption of other cooking fuels like firewood and LPG.For the effective operation of a bio waste treatment plant, electricity is quite essential. The main advantage of waste to electricity project is that no external power is required for the operation of the plant. The power generated in the treatment plant can be utilized to meet the in-house requirement completely. Excess quantity can be utilized for any type of off-grid application, such as street lighting.The generation of electricity through conventional method is a costly affair. Severe environmental problems will be caused on account of electricity generation through coal, diesel etc. Even in the case of hydro electric Projects, many environmental problems will arise in and around project area through deforestation.The generation of electricity using biowaste treatment plant is not a costly concern. Of course the installation cost of a Waste to Electricity Project may be a little high. But the recurring expenses will not be substantial for the operation of the plant. In the plant, biogas is being generated everyday through anaerobic decomposition of waste.Normally 1.5 kilo watt electricity can be produced from One cubic metre biogas. Depending upon the percentage of methane content in biogas, the power generation may slightly vary. The size of the generator can be fixed depending upon the availability of gas and quantity and duration for the requirement of the power. The gas can be utilized as operation fuel in gensets. Before feeding biogas as fuel in gensets the gas has to be passed through a gas scrubber to remove unwanted particles, gases, moisture etc.There are two types of generators used to generate electricity from biogas. One is the duel fuel model and the other is 100% biogas model. Duel fuel models are diesel gensets. In this system the biogas is connected to the generator through air mix. Once the biogas is passed through the gensets, automatically consumption requirement of the diesel is reduced. Normally duel fuel gensets are working in 80% - 20% mode.In 100% biogas engines, no other fuel is required either for starting or for operation. Any type of petrol engine can be modified for operating the same using biogas as operation fuel. The imported models of 100% biogas engines are very costly ones and the maintenance of such systems is very expensive. HOLLANDIA BIOTECH has developed 100% biogas engines. These engines are installed in various projects and the performance of all of them is very good

 

 

HOLLANDIA BIOTECH is fabricating portable bio waste treatment plants capable of treating the wastes generated in houses, for producing bio gas and bio manure, for making them available to the beneficiaries. The bio-waste treatment plants designed by HOLLANDIA BIOTECH (portable type) are suitable for installation by replacing them from one place to another according the requirements of the beneficiaries, easy to be installed, capable of treating wastes very effectively and also suitable for installation in areas where adequate space is not available. For installing a waste treatment plant having the size of one cum HOLLANDIA BIOTECH is providing the eligible subsidy also for the beneficiaries.

OBJECTIVE

For the installation waste treatment plants in all the households where bio wastes such as remnants of food items, cattle dung, waste water generated by washing rubber sheets etc. are available.

To avoid the throwing away of wastes indiscriminately causing grave environment pollution problems.

BENEFITS

(1) The wastes thrown out in houses and the premises including the droppings of birds and dung of animals could be treated in a scientific manner, and the houses and the surroundings are kept clean and tidy thereby the health and hygienic life of people could be maintained. (2) By making use of the biogas produced from the plant as cooking fuel, the use of other fuels for cooking, purposes can be reduced and thereby gain financial benefit. (3) By using the bio manure for agriculture the use of chemical fertilizers can be reduced and the expenses for the manure can be saved. Quality vegetables and grains can be produced by the application of bio manure.
