Study and Analysis of Various Parameters of Bio-mechanization Plant

Abstract

Among the recent challenges in India, one is the extensive consumption of non-renewable energy sources due to rising demands of fuels and environmental issues. India is an agriculture-based country with the second-highest population in the world. Converting the waste material into the energy and use of renewable sources is the best way to serve the energy needs of the population. The biogas production in India is around 2.07 billion cubic meters per year which are targeted to increase up to 30 billion cubic meters per year by using various advanced technologies. To extract more methane percentage, various plants are approaching toward pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technology. PSA technology increases the percentage of methane by reducing carbon dioxide and other gases’ percentage. In this paper, we have studied and analyzed various parameters of a bio-mechanization plant which is based on segregated organic municipal waste for the production of bio-CNG and organic fertilizer and is working on the vapor pressure swing (VPSA) technology. The effect of season, temperature, waste obtained, etc. on bio-CNG production has been researched.
