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.

2. 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.

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.

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..

3. 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

3


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

4


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


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


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


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

http://www.daveseslbiofuel.com

http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=David

http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=David_DuByn


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


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.

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

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


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.

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.

What others are saying about

Steve’s IPPTS Associates web

site…

KT: “Great site, well done, lots of good

info for anyone looking at Anaerobic

Digestion to perform a number of

services. I have also studied AD … and

it is very interesting.

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.
