  • BIOGAS Introduction

    Energy source produced from biodegradable /organic wastes.

    Green and cost effective replacement of wastes.

    Potential to meet the energy requirements in rural areas, and alsocounter the effects of reckless burning of biomass resources.

    Additional benefit of digested slurry - can be dried and sold as highquality compost.

    Wastes of variable qualities and quantities, such as animaldung, agricultural wastes and food and municipal solid waste, areavailable in rural and urban areas.

    This waste can be utilised for both centralised large-scale anddecentralised small-scale biogas production/ enrichment and bottling.

  • WHATISBIOGAS?

    Gas is produced by the anaerobic digestion/fermentation of biodegradablematerials such as biomass, manure, food waste,sewage, municiplewaste, green waste, agricultural/plant waste, and crops.

    PresenterPresentation NotesGive a brief overview of the presentation. Describe the major focus of the presentation and why it is important.Introduce each of the major topics.To provide a road map for the audience, you can repeat this Overview slide throughout the presentation, highlighting the particular topic you will discuss next.

  • BiogasinINDIA

    An estimate indicates that India has a potential of generating 6.38 X 1010 m3of biogas from 980 million tones of cattle dung produced annually.

    The heat value of this gas amounts to 1.3 X 1012 MJ. In addition, 350 milliontones of manure would also produce along with biogas.

    Apart from the 4.5 million domestic biogas plants installed in Indiaagainst the potential of 12 million, there is a huge potential of installationof medium and large scale biogas plants installation in India in small scaleindustries, animal rearing farms, poultryfarms, distilleries, tanneries, hotels, restaurants, military barracks etc.

  • Potential

    There are around 300distilleries throughout Indiawhich collectively have apotential of producing 1200million Nm3 biogas, and 2000tannery units capable ofproducing 787,500 Nm3 ofbiogas . The increasingnumber of poultry farms canalso add to biogas productivityas with a current populationof 649 million birds, another2173 million Nm3of biogas canbe generated.

    Moisturecausescorrosionanddecreasesheatingvalueofthefuel.

  • CompressionofBiogas

    The energy density of upgraded biogas is comparatively low atambient pressure and as a result it must be compressed at highpressures (e.g. 200250 bar) to allow its sufficient storage inbottles/cylinders.

    Compressing biogas reduces storage space requirements, concentrates energy content and increases pressure to the level needed to overcome resistance to gas

    flow.

    Compression can eliminate the mismatch of pressures andguarantee the efficient operation of the equipment.

  • RemovalofCO2fromBiogas

    The feasible processes of biogas purification are:

    Absorption into liquid (Physical / Chemical)

    Adsorption on solid surface

    Membrane separation

    Cryogenic separation

    Selection of the appropriate process for a particular applicationdepends on the scale of operation, composition of the gas to betreated, degree of purity required, capital cost and the need for CO2recovery.

  • The most widely used technologies for biogas upgrading are waterscrubbing, PSA, membrane and chemical scrubbing. Out of thesetechnologies, water scrubbing and PSA are most appropriate at a small scale dueto low cost and easy maintenance.

    Till 2011, the number of biogas upgrading plants in the world were 150.

    In India there are 5 biogas upgrading plants till 2011.

  • A Typical Packed Bed Tower

  • Main parameters calculated for the packed bed for a particular capacity are

    Working Pressure

    Tower Packing

    Diameter of Packed Bed

    Height of Packed Bed

  • Working Pressure of the Packed Bed Tower

    The solubility of CO2 & CH4 in water is directly proportional topressure. As the pressure increases, requirement of water and volumeof packed column decreases for a fixed flow rate of biogas.

    Higher working pressure poses the problem of difficult fabrication oftower, difficulty in finding control equipments (sensor, valves etc.) andhigher electricity consumption for compression of gas.

    Very low pressure results in excess water requirement and muchbigger size of columns.

    Therefore, an intermediate value working pressure of 10 bar (absolute)is chosen in IIT Delhi WS system case.

  • TowerPacking

    Packing provides the large interface area for the contact of liquid and gas phase inside the packed tower.

    Has an open structure: low resistance to gas flow.

    Promote uniform liquid distribution on the packing surface.

    Promote uniform vapor gas flow across the column cross-section.

  • Types of packing (a) Raschig rings (b) Pall rings (c) Berl saddle ceramic(d) Intalox saddle ceramic (e) Metal Hypac ( f ) Ceramic, super Intalox

  • DeterminationofDiameter(D)andHeight(H)ofthePackedBedColumn

    The capacity of a packed bed absorption column is depended on its cross-sectional area.

    The column will be designed to operate at the highest economical pressure drop, to ensure good liquid and gas distribution.

    There is no entirely satisfactory method for predicting the height of a transfer unit.

    In practice the value for a particular packing will depend not only on the physical properties and flow-rates of the gas and liquid, but also on the uniformity of the liquid distribution throughout the column, which is dependent on the column height and diameter.

  • Conclusions

    Out of several methods of biogas enrichment, waterscrubbing is found to be a simple, easy and suitable methodfor enrichment of biogas.

    An indigenous technology is developed by IIT Delhi for smallsale biogas enrichment and bottling.

    The designed and fabricated biogas water scrubber is able toenrich biogas with above 95% methane .

    To make biogas suitable for automobile application, theenriched biogas is compressed up to 200 bar and filled inspecial high pressure cylinders (as used in CNG filling).
