Why Now is the Right Time for
Biogas from Waste: Convincing
Potential Anaerobic Digestion
Plant Owners That They Really
Can Successfully Operate a
Biogas Digester
When businessmen look back they often
identify a particular time which was the
right time to invest in a technology, and
cite businesses which “rode the wave” to
grow into greatness by spotting such an
opportunity. These same people spend
much of their business lives looking for
that window of opportunity.
If you are such a person this report is for
you. In this report we have set out to show
you that the opportunity right now, which
exists for those that invest in biogas
production by anaerobic digestion, is an
opportunity which has found its time.
The lucky few that get into this NOW, are
entering the opportunity of a lifetime. If you
have even the faintest interest in the
concept of producing sustainable
renewable energy yourself, we implore you
to spend the time to read this report RIGHT
NOW!
We warn you not to wait for long. If you sit
on the fence the bio-wastes which are now
available, will all have been snapped up
and gone, leaving the latecomers to
scramble after the left-overs.

Renewable Energy from
Biogas: How the energy that is
released from the combustion allows
the gas to be converted to biogas and
used as energy. In other countries,
biogas is used for heating and for
cooking. In the modern world, the gas
can be used in waste management
and in running heat engines in order
to generate electrical power and
mechanical power. More importantly,
biogas can be condensed just like
other types of gases and used to run
cars.

After Powering the 2008
Olympic Torch: China is
playing a lead role in the area of
biogas using processes by which we
can turn our waste, animal waste and
food waste into a high-end, usable
commodity. The subject of using fecal
matter as an energy source ranges
from taboo in some societies to wide
acceptance and utilization in others.
In China, it fits into the latter
category. Here's what China's National
Development and Reform Commission
has on the books for biogas.

Natural Gas - Biogas
Upgrading
Technology: Digester systems
that convert waste material into
biogas are becoming more prevalent
throughout the world. Rural farmers
now have a means to produce good
quality fertilizer and biogas from
waste materials like manure in a
cheap renewable way.
2. How Making Biogas is
Simple Takes Only Three
Basic Steps: There are
numerous different desired goals that
men and women may have. For
whichever good reasons, some people
wish to make biogas. It is a relatively
frequent choice. There certainly is
good news for people who decide
upon this goal. It is not at all difficult
to attain, once you know just what you
are doing..

scraps, at home, is a great way to gain
confidence in the technique for
anyone considering buying a biogas
plant for their farm or supermarket
(e.g. sponsor an undergraduate

waste), but make sure you choose the
right path and do things correctly.
4. Exploring the Potential for
Renewable Energy from
Biogas
Biogas is a type of fuel that is produced
biologically through the breakdown of
organic and naturally occurring matter in
the absence of oxygen. The gas
originates from biological matter. There
are many types of biogas.
One type is produced by fermentation of
ecological materials like sewage, green
waste, municipal waste, biomass,
manure, and energy crops. Such a type
of gas comprises of carbon monoxide,
hydrogen and nitrogen. These can be
oxidized or burnt with oxygen.
The energy that is released from the
combustion allows the gas to be
converted to biogas and used as energy.
In other countries, biogas is used for
heating and for cooking.
In the modern world, the gas can be
used in waste management and in
running heat engines in order to
generate electrical power and
mechanical power. More importantly,
biogas can be condensed just like other
types of gases and used to run cars. In
countries such as the UK, biogas is
reportedly extensively used in the motor
industry to run motor vehicles. It is
reported to have replaced about 17% of
motor vehicle energy.
(Zorg Biogas)
In countries such as Sweden, biogas is
used to power trains. A biogas run train
operates between Vaestervik and
Linkoeping. The train is generated with
energy that is derived from sewage and
animal waste. The reason why Sweden
has adopted the gas as a form of energy
for its large motor vehicle industry is
that the gas has been shown to generate
less carbon dioxide emissions compared
to other forms of diesel such diesel. The
country produces the gas from alcoholic
beverages that have been confiscated by
other agencies. Most industries also
concentrate the Methane gas that is
found in biogas through biogas upgrader
to standards such as natural gas. The
resulting product known as biomethane
is then used in the local energy
distribution centers and in the pipeline
industries. Further, biomethane is
compressed and concentrated where it is
used in the transport industries to power
vehicles.
Other investors such as Bates
transformed their cars in order to power
them with biogas energy. Short

How to Become a Wealthy Biogas Generator
documentaries that were produced in
early 1974 show the simple benefits and
process of powering cars using biogas.
The documentary showed such gas being
used to power vehicles for periods as
long as seventeen years. In countries
such as India, biogas is used to generate
a gas known as gober gas. Gobar gas is a
form of biogas that is made from animal
waste. It is also made using various
household plants. In other countries
such as Pakistan, the government offers
about 50% funds that are used in the
creation of gas chambers. The
flammable methane energy gas that is
generated from the process is usually
smokeless and odorless. This makes it
quite economical in environmental
sustenance. Due to this, the gas is
largely used in the motor vehicle
industries to power vehicles making true
the assertion that biogas could be the
fuel that will be used in powering most
vehicles in the near future.

1. Watch Out for China
- Biogas in China Didn’t
Stop After Powering the
2008 Olympic Torch
China is playing a lead role in the area of
biogas using processes by which we can
turn our waste, animal waste and food
waste into a high-end, usable
commodity. The subject of using fecal
matter as an energy source ranges from
taboo in some societies to wide
acceptance and utilization in others. In
China, it fits into the latter category.
Here's what China's National
Development and Reform Commission
has on the books for biogas.
In China alone there are a billion and a
half people with just as many livestock,
poultry and garbage dumps all providing
methane feedstock daily. It's hard for
China to sidestep the idea of turning
something that was discarded into a
commodity for electricity generation.
China plans to have an installed capacity
of bio-energy projects reaching
5.5million kilowatts by 2010, but
jumping to 30 million kilowatts by
2020, a 600 percent increase in the
next 11 years.

Biogas is a combustible mixture of gases
produced by micro-organisms when
livestock manure and other biological
wastes are allowed to ferment in the
absence of air in closed containers. The
major constituents of biogas are
methane (60 percent), carbon dioxide
(35 percent) and small amounts of water
vapour, hydrogen sulphide, carbon
monoxide and nitrogen. Biogas is mainly
used as fuel, like natural gas, while the
digested mixture of liquids and solids
'bio-slurry' and 'bio-sludge' are mainly
used as organic fertilizer for crops.
Chinese companies are now finding
numerous other uses for biogas,
bio-slurry and bio-sludge in China.
This development touches on an
important aspect of Peak Oil: in a peak
oil world there will be less fertilizer
production and therefore higher fertilizer
prices, which means higher farming
costs that must be passed along as
higher food prices. You could open
Pandora's Box when explaining how
oil-dependent the farming, transport and
processed food production industries
are. Increased transportation costs to
move food stuffs from field, to factory to
your plate. Fertilizer and pesticide rely
on natural gas and oil based chemicals
for production, and farm machinery is
run on liquid fossil fuels. The simplest
equation is: Higher crude oil prices =
Higher food costs.
China began using biogas digesters in
earnest in 1958 in a campaign to exploit
the multiple functions of biogas
production, which solved the problem of
the disposal of manure and improved
hygiene. During the late 1970s and early
1980s the Chinese government realized
the value of this natural resource in rural
areas and this was the first important
step in the modernization of its
agriculture. Six million digesters were
set up in China, which became the
biogas capitol of the world incorporating
the 'China Dome' digester which is still
used to the present day, especially for
small-scale domestic use. China's
2003-2010 National Rural Biogas
Construction Plan is to increase
biogas-using households by a further 31
million to a total of 50 million, so the
rate of use would reach 20% of total
rural households.
By the end of 2006, the total number of
families that use biogas reached 22
million, with a total annual biogas
production of about 8.5 billion cubic
metres and had built biogas pits for 22
6
How to Become a Wealthy Biogas Generator
million households in rural areas, and
provided more than 5,200 large and
mid-sized biogas projects based around
livestock and poultry farms. The typical
eight cubic metre biogas pits are able to
provide 80 percent of the necessary
cooking energy for a four-member family,
according to The Energy and Zoology
Division inside the Ministry of
Agriculture. By 2020, about 300 million
rural people will use biogas as their main
fuel.
During the current, 10th, Five Year Plan,
China is developing 2,200 grid power
biogas engineering projects for wastes
from intensive animal husbandry and
poultry, treating more than 60 million
tonnes of manure a year, that's in
addition to the 137,000 installed
digesters to treat sewage. According to
The Chinese Academy of Sciences and
Geography, the total annual production
of manure and night soil could
theoretically generate about 130 billion
cubic metres of methane, equivalent to
93 million tonnes of coal and 80
percent of industrial wastewater can also
be used to produce methane. The
number of large scale grid power scale
plants are planned to increase to
30,000 by 2030, a 15-fold increase.
As the idea of cleaning up the
environment starts to take traction in
China, dealing with sludge from urban
and industrial wastewater treatment that
has traditionally dumped into landfills,
oceans and waterways is taking center
stage with a catchy campaign "Recycle
Waste into a Resource". The Chinese
central government is showing great
interest in medium and large scale
biogas plants and integrated agricultural
and agro industrial biomass with waste
handling plants to reduce water
pollution.
To facilitate the usage of biogas the
government had set up biogas technical
training courses in Shanxi Province and
in 2005 trained 6,000 farmers, 4,000
of which gained National Biogas
Professional Technician Certificate. The
Ministry of Agriculture which
administers The Chengdu Biogas
Scientific Research Institute (BIOMA)
also operates an international training
and research center in Chengdu,
Sichuan Province. Farmers from Yunnan
Province that graduated from the course
are experimenting with a "four-in-one"
biogas plant that incorporates a pigpen
and a household latrine to provide
feedstock, then uses methane to heat a
greenhouse for growing vegetables and
raises carbon dioxide within the
greenhouse to boost plant yield.
Biogas feedstock programs throughout
China are just beginning to utilize
industry waste from other sources;
alcohol production and paper mills.
Tianguan Alcohol Factory, which
consumes two million tonnes of
shop-worn grains per year to produce
denatured alcohol, is now recycling the
dregs of the distiller to produce biogas in
a 30,000 cubic metre digester,
supplying more than 20,000 households
or 20 percent of Nanyang city's
population.
Hongzhi Alcohol Corporation located in
7
How to Become a Wealthy Biogas Generator
Mianzhu, Sichuan Province which is the
largest alcohol factory in south-western
China, uses its industrial organic
wastewater, sewage and dregs to
produce biogas. The city of Mianzhu
treats 98 percent of municipal sewage
including wastewater from hospitals
through digesters with a total capacity of
10,000 cubic metres.
Chenming Paper Co. which generates
300 tonnes of sludge a day, is adding its
own start up biogas program using pulp
wastes. The same goes for intensive
animal husbandry on many large or
medium size livestock and poultry farms
in the suburbs of cities. China's power
generation is starting to morph into local
energy generation for local residents
from local industry using local
feedstock, which is a model we should
get used to in a world of high energy
prices: Local production, Local
consumption.
As our globalized distant point of
manufacture, long delivery chain
lifestyle changes year upon year with
declining crude oil availability, known as
"Peak Oil", we as a world will need to
find crude oil substitutes to supply base
chemicals for industrial and
manufacture processes. Using biogas
directly for cooking or co-generation of
electricity and heat is especially feasible
when the biogas is used at or near the
site of generation. Biogas methane can
also be used to make methanol, an
organic solvent and an important
chemical for producing formaldehyde,
chloromethane, organic glass, and
compound fibre. Good quality fertilizer
and electricity generated are additional
bonuses.
Finally, biogas can be used to prolong
storage of fruit and grain. An atmosphere
of methane and carbon dioxide inhibits
metabolism, thereby reducing the
formation of ethylene in fruits and grains
prolonging storage time and the same
atmosphere kills harmful insects, mould,
and bacteria that cause diseases.
My mind's eye sees a future where food
storage will be in local communities as
the Just-in-Time delivery system will
encounter problems as fuel becomes
more expensive and disposable income
worldwide is reduced. I envision a return
to a bulk delivery system of dry goods
which will be weekly or bi-weekly that
will require local communities to store
their own grain and bulk food utilizing
biogas to keep pests and rodents out of
the food supply. Tiny shipments as we
are used to today will need to be
restructured into a bulk delivery system,
the concept of one box from one
company half way around the world
stocked on a store shelf should taper off
with higher crude prices. Foods from
8
How to Become a Wealthy Biogas Generator
supermarkets and hyper-marts packed in
small individual boxes, bags or wrapped
in plastic will have their own set of
problems for delivery and manufacture
to overcome. Which gives biogas an edge
by offering solutions to two probable
side effects in the future because of
continuing upward crude prices, food
storage and fertilizer.
What I never hear mentioned is a
back-up fertilizer system. We are
required by law in many countries to
have back up batteries and generators
for critical electrical systems in case of
power failure. Is there a back-up
fertilizer system in place for our food
production in case of oil shortages or
long-lasting supply disruptions? Biogas
production may provide a bit of
protection. It is hardly an Olympic step,
but it's a step.

1. The Next Step in
Integrating Biogas Into the
Petro-Economy Cleaning
Raw Biogas Into Usable
Natural Gas - Biogas
Upgrading Technology
Digester systems that convert waste
material into biogas are becoming more
prevalent throughout the world. Rural
farmers now have a means to produce
good quality fertilizer and biogas from
waste materials like manure in a cheap
renewable way.
The problem is that this biogas produced
is roughly 60% methane and 29% Co2
with trace elements of H2S, and is not
up to the quality of 99% pure methane
natural gas if the owner was planning on
selling this gas or using it as fuel gas for
machinery. The corrosive nature of H2S
alone is enough to destroy the internals
of expensive plant.
The solution is the implementation of a
biogas upgrading or purification system.
Biogas upgrading is a series of processes
where the gas is first cleaned from
contaminants and then dried, so that
what is left at the end of the process is
98%+ methane fuel gas. Manufacturers
that produce biogas purification systems
each have their own different processes
and technology that they employ to
produce the sales quality gas. A few of
them are detailed below.
Water Washing
This is the most common method of
purifying biogas. Here raw biogas from
the digester is compressed and fed into
9
How to Become a Wealthy Biogas Generator
the scrubber vessel where passing water
streams adsorb the gas contaminants
leaving near pure methane. The gas is
then dried by dessicant in the drier
columns and exit the system as 98%+
pure natural gas.
Pressure Swing Adsorption
Otherwise known as PSA, this
purification method separates the Co2,
Nitrogen, Oxygen and Water from the
raw biogas stream by adsorbing gases at
high pressure and desorbing them at low
pressure as waste. The PSA system
usually consists of 4 different adsorption
columns working in sequence;
Adsorption, depressurizing, desorption
and re-pressurizing.
The raw biogas is compressed and fed
into the bottom of the adsorption
column where it is purified. during this
time the remaining columns regenerate,
such that there is always 1 absorber
column actively cleaning gas. PSA does
not scrub hydrogen sulphide so this
must be removed before it enters the
compressor.
Polyglycol
Using polyglycol (Tradename Selexol) to
purify biogas is similar to the water
washing method with regeneration.
Selexol can absorb hydrogen sulphide,
carbon dioxide and water. However the
energy required to regenerate the
solution after adsorbing H2S is high, so
hydrogen sulphide is removed before the
process.
Chemical Reaction
Raw biogas can be upgraded by various
chemical reactions that remove the C02
and other contaminants from the gas
stream. The chemicals such as
Alkanolamines react at atmospheric
pressure in an adsorption column with
the Co2 and are regenerated afterwards
with steam. The hydrogen sulphide must
first be removed to avoid toxifying the
chemicals.
Advantages and Disadvantages
Each plant type fulfills its purpose of
supplying high quality natural gas for
grid injection. However depending on
the site location, various environmental
and economic factors might make
selecting a certain type of system a more
sensible choice. For areas where water is
an expensive resource a more
appropriate choice would be a PSA or
Selexol system which regenerate the
adsorbent, however this has to be offset
against the heat input required in
regeneration.
10
How to Become a Wealthy Biogas Generator
Another important factor to consider is
the methane loss associated with each
design. The methane loss is measured
using gas analyzers and flowmeters at
the suction and discharge sides of the
plant. Most plants are guaranteed by
manufacturers to achieve a maximum
2% methane loss. Some recent studies
however have measured between 8-10%
methane loss at PSA and Selexol plant
sites, possibly due to leaks and poor
maintenance. Chemical systems have
even lower guaranteed losses since the
chemicals selectively react with the Co2
in the gas stream instead of adsorbing.
Energy Demands
For a biogas upgrading plant the
auxiliary power required to drive the
compressors, pumps etc is anywhere
between 3-6% of the total energy output
in the form of natural gas. The cost
associated with upgrading biogas also
decreases with larger plant size, a
smallish plant of 100 metres cubed per
hour will upgrade gas at more than twice
the cost of a plant outputting 200 - 300
metres cubed per hour.
Conclusions
A digester is only the beginning of the
process to convert biomass into useful
high quality natural gas. A biogas
purification system takes the raw biogas
at around 60% methane from the
digester and through a special process
outputs 98% methane for ether use as
fuel gas or supplied to the grid. The four
main upgrading processes are water
washing, pressure swing adsorption,
polyglycol adsorption and chemical
treatment.
Water washing and PSA are the most
predominantly used systems in the world
today. Typical energy requirements for a
biogas purification system are between
3-6% of the total methane output, with
smaller plants cost more to run than
larger ones. As digester systems become
more common around the world and
people begin to catch on to biogas as a
renewable source of energy, no doubt we
will see more of these systems become
available and more innovative designs.

1. Making Biogas is Simple –
Here are the Three Basic
Steps
There are numerous different desired
goals that men and women may have.
For whichever good reasons, some
people wish to make biogas. It is a
relatively frequent choice. There
certainly is good news for people who
decide upon this goal. It is not at all
difficult to attain, once you know just
what you are doing.
The objective of this article is to really
make it easier for you to have success
11
How to Become a Wealthy Biogas Generator
and succeed at making biogas.
Read more to educate yourself about
how you can do so in just 3 steps...
The 1st step is Take some biodigestible
waste (food scraps or cut-grass would be
good) and allow it to stay for some time
in a closed container, without clean air
being introduced. Biogas is produced in
a process called anaerobic digestion, i.e.
Without air / oxygen being added to the
biomass.
You need to do that mainly because you
need to get the waste to decay without
air. While doing so, it is best to avoid
any air at all getting into the container,
so make sure it is well and truly sealed.
If you don't finish this 1st step
adequately, then air will get in and
prevent biogas being made.
The 2nd step is If you would like to
produce a little quantity of biogas, you
can simply make DIY biodigester.
Feed it with cut grass that can produce
just about 0,5 m3 from each one kg of
grass. Here you need to avoid allowing
the container to get cold, as the biogas
production works well in temperature
ranges of 30-38C ( 86-100F ) and
49-57C ( 120-135F ) and try to keep
the temperature even by day and by
night with no big swings.
The 3rd step is to make sure that the
methane has somewhere it can be
collected, so run a plastic pipe into
something like a completely deflated car
inner tube. This could be very important
since you will need to collect quite a bit
of methane biogas before you can
usefully connect it to a gas burner and
cook with it. It is important to avoid the
error of allowing air to enter the system.
Adhere to the above three steps
carefully. If you follow the instructions
above you should be in the position to
make biogas quickly and completely.
Take the steps carefully and make
certain to steer clear of the potential
problems. Then you can celebrate and
relish the accolades and advantages that
can come to people who successfully
make biogas.

1. How to Make Biogas from
Food Scraps at Home
Setting out to succeed with making
biogas from your family food scraps, at
home, is a great way to gain confidence
in the technique for anyone considering
buying a biogas plant for their farm or
supermarket (e.g. sponsor an
undergraduate student to do this with
your food waste), but make sure you
choose the right path and do things
correctly. If you do not do it right, the
end results are likely to be disastrous.
You could potentially find yourself with a
lack of gas to cook your meals, or
perhaps a biogas digester in the back
yard which becomes a white elephant,
unused and unproductive.
Listed here are a trio of tactics to
sidestep that kind of failure, and
succeed.
First and foremost, remember to feed
your home biogas digester regularly
You're going to want to get in the habit
of putting your food scraps into your
liquidizer, or chopping them up fine and
mixing with water, every day since that
can help avoid the bacterial culture in
your digester becoming less than as
efficient in gas production than it would
otherwise be. Failing to do this may
cause the supply of biogas to fluctuate.
So do not make the miscalculation of
ignoring this crucial step!
The second is, to keep your home biogas
digester warm
Almost as important as remember to
feed your home biogas digester regularly
as you are working to succeed at making
biogas from food scraps will be to keep
your home biogas digester warm. I am
here to inform you, you don't want to
overlook this. It's very helpful to avoid
big temperature changes in your
digester, which can be something which
everyone who wants to succeed with
making biogas from your food scraps
wants.
Lastly, take care to look after the
pipework that delivers the methane
biogas into your kitchen where it is used,
usually by burning it in a gas ring burner
beneath a saucepan, kettle etc. It only
needs a small link for the gas to escape
Finally, when working with making
biogas from food scraps you will want to
be sure and avoid smoking while
attending to your home biogas digester.
This will assist you with avoiding a fire
in which it is possible to get burnt, after
all methane burns hot and, an essential
component of such a project is always
13
How to Become a Wealthy Biogas Generator
the need to ensure all work is done
safely. Failing that may mean you may
unintentionally cause an accident that
you will regret allowing to occur. And I
believe that we could be in agreement
that this would not be good...
As stated above, if you would like to
ensure success at making biogas from
food scraps, you need to avoid the sorts
of problems which could make you finish
up with a lack of gas to cook your meals,
or maybe a biogas digester in the back
yard which becomes a white elephant,
unused and unproductive. What you
really want is consistent half an hour to
40 minutes of biogas flow daily for
cooking, once daily, which goal you
could attain by carefully using the three
steps outlined above.

SPECIAL REPORT:
Is It Possible To Produce
Biogas, Without Losing
Precious Earnings on
Process Downtime?
According to Steve last, an
environmental process engineer and
14
How to Become a Wealthy Biogas Generator
owner of the popular
website www.anaerobic-digestion.com,
the answer is yes!
“Many biogas plant operators tell us that
a biogas plant is much more like owning
a cow than a tractor, and a badly
behaved cow at that", Steve tells us.
Why most people struggle
According to Steve Last , there's a
reason why so many people struggle
with the idea that if done right an
anaerobic digestion plant will deliver
fuel bill busting power, despite so
much evidence to the contrary,
and help being offered to them
today from an ever increasing range of
biogas plant technology providers...
"Prospective AD Plant buyers,
particularly in the agricultural sector,
but also commercial clients in the
growing food waste digestion sector,
fear that their project will cost them far
too much and run out of their control,
with fancy control equipment and over
specified and complex systems."
Steve Last has set out to
conquer this perception with a
unique approach
"We tell intelligent clients who don’t
mind a bit of technical reading, how to
operate their biogas plant before we
start. If they start out by knowing
“what they need to do”, then remaining
in control over “how they do it”, is
much easier. Unlike some other
Anaerobic Digestion plant partners and
turnkey contractors", Steve Last tells
us that all the technical detail is “on
the table”, from the start. That way, the
buyer can assess, accept, or reject the
technical details from a point of
knowledge.
Steve Last focuses on the unique
approach of providing accessible
information first, and if you like it;
“bringing the client up to speed in the
technology, from the
start”, firstly to give the client the
confidence that he will be
knowledgeable enough about the
product he is buying to remain in firm
control of his technical advisors from
start to finish, and secondly so that he
gets a feel for what operating an AD
plant is like, because it isn’t like “buying
a tractor”, and if the AD and Biogas
industry sells on that proposition,
unsatisfied clients may well be the
result.

and finding the information about
anaerobic digestion in the rural village.
I'm studying in master degree and
making the project about the anaerobic
digestion. Thank you.
A. G: Biogas production from any viable
source is an obvious path in a
petro-energy stressed economy. My field
of interest is on-site wastewater
treatment, given GHG concerns carbon
sequestering and energy production
potential is subject to scrutiny right now.
Comment: Relevant, well presented and
thus good.
