Digester

Solar biogas digester power generation method

The biogas produced will be converted into electricity using a combined heat and power (CHP) generator for the smallholder farmer to use at home. It could also be sold to the national grid or neighbours who may need the product. . This research paper explores biogas production in an underground temperature-controlled fixed dome digester and compares it with a similar uncontrolled digester. Two underground fixed-dome digesters, one fitted with a solar heating system and a stirrer and the other one with an identical stirrer. . Household biogas-digesters are a prospective technique that can help minimal-income rural families to meet their basic energy requirements and enhance their living standards. BF is where organic matter generates mixed gases, such as methane and CO2, by catabolising various microorganisms under specific conditions [5].
