To offset the power crisis, a five kilo watt biogas plant project has been inaugurated at Ottanatham, a model village of Tuticorin district. The Project Director of District Rural Development Agency, J. Bellah, inaugurated the project work at a cost of Rs. 3.60 lakh to tap energy resources on Saturday. Biogas, a non-conventional source of energy, has become the mainstay of development at the village, which remains an exemplary to other villages in terms of sanitation maintenance and green revolution. After tapping this sort of renewable energy resource from a public sanitation complex for women, besides drainage wastes, animal wastes and food wastes, 40 lights could be operated for streets and a park being maintained with community participation. While interacting with the villagers, she appealed them to execute waste management in a systematic manner to turn wastes into sustainable energy. Collector Ashish Kumar accorded administrative sanction to enhance rural development with necessary facilities through National Bharat Abhiyan scheme at the village with 2, 153 people. The project is expected to be completed in a month. Relying on the sanitation complex with ten toilets being maintained by ‘Kalapana Chawla’ women self help group, K. Vijayapandian, panchayat president, said the new project would be a significant step. “Ottanatham village has bagged ‘Uthamar Gandhi Award’ for the best administration during 2009 -10 and bagged ‘Nirmal Purashkar Award’ for total sanitation in 2008 -09. The same trend would be maintained to achieve more here,” he said. Twenty-seven self help group members at the village would be involved in monitoring the waste management, V. Subbaraman, Vice President, said. Biogas would be burnt to generate green and clean energy. The biogas yield would be increased as more and more organic waste accumulated, K. Selvaraj, Proprietor, Grace Line Bio Energy, the service provider, said. Many such projects had been emerging in industrial units including seafood industry constantly relying on generation of wastes, he said. T. Subramania Perumal, Biogas Technician, DRDA, S. Subbulakshmi, Block Development Officer and J. Rajasekar, Deputy Block Development Officer attended.

Biogas plant: Energy problem solution in India

A company in southern India has come up with a viable way for poor households to help themselves.

The locally-made biogas plant, filled with bacteria found in the stomachs of cows, silently and odorlessly converts food waste and into gas.

More than 20,000 homes in Kerala have installed the hand made plant, and the money they save pays off the machine in less than three years.

Their home cooking, they say, tastes all the better for its green credentials.

Al Jazeera's Tarek Bazley reports from Thiruvananthapuram, India, on a solution in India that's got plenty of merit when it comes to powering homes in areas of the developing world often beset by power cuts.

Manacaud school too gets biogas plant

The City Corporation has set up a biogas plant at the Karthika Thirunal Vocational Higher Secondary School, Manacaud, and it was inaugurated on Friday by Mayor K Chandrika. The plant has been installed at a cost of ` 4.84 lakh under a Kerala Sustainable Urban Development Project (KSUDP) scheme.
Ever since the garbage crisis hit the city six months back, the Corporation has been encouraging schools and other institutions to install biogas plants on their compounds. Many schools, including Cotton Hill GHSS and Pattom GHSS, have come forward for this and work is progressing on the biogas plants in these institutions.
Manacaud VHSS has around 3,000 students and the plant has the capacity to treat 150 kg of bio-degradable waste each day. ‘’The plant will produce energy that could be used as fuel for a continuous six hours. We have already conducted a trial and in the last one week the school canteen has been working on the energy from the plant for 5 hours,’’ said a KSUDP official.
The expenses for setting up the plant include the two-year operational cost too. ‘’This is a model, we want more schools to come forward and do the same so that children are taught the rules of waste disposal, energy saving and litter-free environment,’’ said Pushpalatha, Health Standing Committee Chairperson.
The inaugural ceremony was also attended by  Deputy Mayor G Happykumar and Standing Committee chairpersons Palayam Rajan and K S Sheela.
Under the KSUDP project, SMV School in the city was the first to take to biogas plant some time back. Cotton Hill and Pattom GHSS would also have the plant up and operational in a few weeks.
Kannammoola bund colony and Rajaji Nagar colony (Chenkalchoolah) are the two other spots where biogas plants will soon come up.
Meanwhile, more wards are warming up to the idea of installing a biogas plant at a certain institution or school in their respective limits, Health officials said.

Biogas plants at Rajaji Nagar, Kannammoola



While it is being trashed for not setting up a biogas plant in its own compound to set an example, the City Corporation is moving ahead with the plan to put up plants at two slums - Rajaji Nagar and Kannammoola. The biogas plants will come up under a Kerala Sustainable Urban Development Project (KSUDP) scheme for introducing solid waste management mechanism.

The Corporation Council that met last week had approved the setting up of plants at Rajaji Nagar (Chenkalchoolah), Kannammoola Colony, Poojapura Mahila Mandiram and Thycaud Government Hospital. According to Health Standing Committee Chairperson Pushpalatha, the estimate for the biogas plants to be set up in colonies was being worked out. This would be passed on to the KSUDP for processing, she said.

Meanwhile, the Corporation has already kicked off the construction of biogas plants at Manacaud TTI School, Cotton Hill GHSS, Kalipankulam market and Pattom GHSS. A KSUDP official said that the works at the schools are progressing well, but the proposal for the plants in the slums had not yet reached them.

‘’We have nearly ` 5 crore for the solid waste management project under KSUDP. So, we are accepting with open arms whoever comes forward with a proposal,’’ Pushpalatha said.

The idea of a biogas plant at Rajaji Nagar was mooted by the ward councillor representing the area following the large-scale dumping of garbage into the water body here. The area had turned a dumping yard ever since garbage collection had come to a standstill.

According to sources, the initial fervour to set up a plant on the Corporation compound had died down following land issues. The place identified for the plant has already been eyed for constructing a building to expand the main office. Besides, the changes being planned once the new memorial gate is ready leaves little under-utilised space for the plant, an official said.

However, the Opposition rubbished these claims, saying that the plant does not require acres of land, but only the will on the part of the ruling members.

Importance of Anaerobic Digestion in Rural Areas

The rural population of developing countries exhibit unique resource optimization capabilities as compared to urban populations. Tracts of land are cultivated and cattle are reared and the produce is sold off in the market or consumed. The wastes generated from crop cultivation and rearing animals are also utilised domestically. While the dung of animals is converted to dung cakes and used as fuel in inefficient cooking stoves (chulhas) and domestic heating in winters, the crop residues are usually burnt off so as to reduce the costs involved in storage, handling etc These activities are wasteful, uneconomical and bear a huge impact on the health of people who come in direct contact.
Burning of crop residues leads to the release of several atmospheric pollutants such as aerosols, suspended particulates, SOx and NOx and in some cases dioxins and furans. Further, burning of the standing crop also leads to volatilization of the soil nutrients, decreasing soil fertility. Dung cakes are extremely popular for cooking purposes in rural areas.  Burning of dung cakes leads to toxic emissions in the form of SPMs, PAHs and CO. Studies relate cow dung cake burning with cases of tuberculosis, lung cancer etc. Thus, the external costs (environmental damage, soil damage, health damage) associated with the traditional methods are enormous.

Potential Solution – Anaerobic Digestion

The risks associated with the problem indicate long term losses in terms of health, environmental loss and degradation of land. There is an urgent need to switch over to greener solutions. Anaerobic digestion has the potential to meet the energy requirements of rural India, and also counter the effects of reckless burning of biomass resources.
There are two basic designs of biogas plant that are popular in India. These are:
  1. Floating drum type
  2. Fixed dome type
In Indian context, the Deenbandhu model is the most economical anaerobic digester. It was developed by Action for Food Production (AFPRO), New Delhi, India, in 1984. This model is designed on the basis of the principal of minimization of the surface area of a biogas plant to reduce its installation cost without sacrificing the functional efficiency. The design consists of two concrete spheres of different diameters, joined at their bases. The structure thus formed acts as the digester or fermentation chamber, as well as the gas storage chamber. The digester is connected with the inlet pipe (coming from slurry mixing tank) and outlet tank (for collection of digested slurry). The selection of the size of biogas plant to be installed depends upon the number of persons to be served or availability of feedstock. About 25kg of dung is required per 1m3 of biogas production. The resultant bio fuel i.e. biogas has high calorific value and produces little pollutants on burning.
Anaerobic digestion proves to be a beneficial technology in various spheres. Biogas produced is a green replacement of unprocessed fuels (like fuel wood, dung cakes, crop residues). It is a cost effective replacement for dung cakes and LPG (wherever used).  A study conducted in rural households in Patiala, present in the state of Punjab in India, reveals that 1 m3 of biogas equals 0.43 kg of LPG. The yearly income from a 1m3 biogas plant, thus, amounts for Rs. 1821, which is a considerable amount for low income level farmers.
An additional benefit is that the quantity of digested slurry is the same as that of the feedstock fed in a biogas plant. This slurry can be dried and sold as high quality compost. The nitrogen-rich compost indirectly reduces the costs associated with use of fertilizers. It enriches the soil, improves its porosity, buffering capacity and ion exchange capacity and prevents nutrient depletion thus improving the crop quality. This means increased income for the farmer. Further, being relatively-clean polluting cooking fuel; biogas reduces the health risks associated with conventional chulhas. Thinking regionally, decreased residue burning brings down the seasonal high pollutant levels in air, ensuring a better environmental quality. Anaerobic digestion thus proves to be more efficient in utilization of crop residues. The social benefits associated with biomethanation, along with its capacity to generate income for the rural households make it a viable alternative for conventional methods.
However, the farmers are largely unaware of the possible ways in which farm and cattle wastes could be efficiently utilised. The government agencies and NGOs are major stakeholders in creating awareness in this respect. Moreover, many farmers find it difficult to bear the construction and operational costs of setting up the digester. This again requires the government to introduce incentives (like soft loans) and subsidies to enhance the approachability of the technology and thus increase its market diffusion.

The City Corporation and State government might not yet have found a solution for the garbage crisis in the city. But more and more institutions and organisations in the city are coming forward with schemes to set up independent source-level mini waste treatment units on their premises.

Among them is the Government Women's College at Vazhuthacaud. The college authorities have installed a biogas plant on the college campus to process food waste and other biodegradable garbage generated on the campus.

The plant, capable of processing up to 50 kg waste daily, has been set up at a cost of Rs.1 lakh. The project has been funded by the College Development Council.

Deputy Collector Sheeba George inaugurated the plant at a function held in the college the other day.

“We had plans to set up a biogas plant on the college campus even before the garbage crisis emerged in the city. But as we started to feel the pinch of the crisis, we decided to expedite the project. I think we are the first government college in the city to come up with such a source-level waste management initiative,” said Principal Valsala Kumari.

“We opted for a biogas plant because it serves the dual purpose of processing the waste and providing cooking gas for the college canteen. We expect to get cooking gas required for around five hours from this plant,” she said.

Slurry as manure

Apart from providing cooking gas, the slurry from the plant can be used as manure for the kitchen garden maintained by National Service Scheme volunteers of the college. “Students grow plantain, tapioca and other vegetables at the kitchen garden on the campus. We also have a medicinal garden. The slurry from the biogas plant will be used as manure for these plants,'' said PTA secretary S. Suma.

SENS Kerala, an accredited agency of Suchitwa Mission, has provided the technical support for setting up the plant on the campus.

On Thursday, Speaker G. Karhtikeyan inaugurated a biogas plant at the MLA Hostel. The four cubic metre plant will process around 50 kg biodegradable waste per day. The Wayanad-based Society for Education and Integral Development has installed the plant for the hostel at a cost of Rs.73,000.

A statement released here said that the plant would be capable of processing the entire organic waste produced at the hostel in a day and in turn generate cooking gas to burn for eight hours.

BIO GAS:
Biogas is the mixture of gas produced by Methanogenic bacteria while acting upon biodegradable materials in an anaerobic condition. This gas is principally composed of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Methane is virtually odorless and colorless. It burns with a smokeless clear blue flame and is non toxic. 

The approximate composition of the Biogas is presented in the Table

Average Composition of Biogas Composition
Percent
Methane (CH4)
50 - 70
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
30 - 40
Hydrogen (H2)
5 - 10
Nitrogen (N2)
1 - 2
Water Vapour (H2O)
0.3
Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S)
Traces
                                                                                     Source: Karki & Dixit (1984)
What bio gas can do:
  • 1m3 of Biogas can give as much light as a 60-100 Watt bulb for 6 hours.
  • 1m3 of Biogas can cook 3 meals for a family of 5 - 6.
  • 1m3 of Biogas can replace 0.7 kg of petrol.
  • 1m3 of Biogas can generate1.25 kilowatt hours of electricity.

BIO GAS PLANT:

Bio gas is a mixture of a few gases, such as methane (50-60%) carbon- dioxide (40-50%), hydrogen and ammonia etc., formed as a result of anaerobic digestion (absence of oxygen) of organic waste. A bio gas is commonly described as underground masonry well shaped fermentation tank (Digester) connected with inlet and outlet tanks and covered by an inverted floating or fixed gas storage tank.

ABOUT BIOGAS PLANT:
Biogas is a BioMethanation plant for producing bio gas from kitchen and vegetable. The plant works on similar principles of traditional floating drum type bio gas plant with a few modification and comes in two deigns : both PORTABLE AND FIXED . The portable unit is entirely made of fiber glass or LLDPE (plastic) material. These plants have a user-friendly design and are suited for both urban and rural environment.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS FROM BIOGAS PLANT:
  • It provides an effective alternative to LPG as coking gas.
  • It provides an effective solution for waste disposal : it is a very good for bio gas degradable waste management system.
  • It improve the hygiene with no Odour and no disease causing vermin
  • Methane is an important green house gas (GHG). If the organic waste are left outside all that methane will escape to the atmosphere and thus the plant helps in arresting GHG emission.
  • The digested outlet  slurry is good as an organic manure : it increases interest in kitchen gardening.
  • Its user-friendly design is suitable for both rural and urban areas.
  • Its available in wide –range of volumes (from 500 liters to any amount of volume) allows user to choose depending upon the volume of domestic waste their household generate.
  • It’s easy to handle and maintain.
  • It can be kept in any place including terrace (which makes it usable even in urban apartments.)

How it work:
The main digester is initially fed with cattle dung as it is rich Methanogenic bacteria. it produce methane from starchy material subsequently , cattle dung is not required . Afterwards, one can start feeding the plant daily with kitchen/ vegetable waste. The ratio of waste to water should be 1:1 .this will facilitate easy flow of waste through inlet into the digester. The value of pH of the kitchen waste should be ideally kept in the range of 6.8 to 7.5 for optimum production of bio gas. About 5 kg. Of kitchen waste with the help of plant. Gas coming out of the slurry coming out from the outlet can as manure. the gas generated will have 60 to 70% methane, same amount of water vapour (moisture) and the balance will be carbon- di-oxide and very little amount of trace gases. 

The waste generated from the kitchen:
  • Cooked waste                                           Rice, chapati, Dal, Subji etc.      
  • Non Veg.Waste                                         Fish and meat etc
  • Vegetable Waste                                      Wastage from Vegetable Cuttings
  • Flour Mill Waste                                        Wheat, Rice, Cereal Etc
  • Starch Material                                         Tapioca, Maize and Grams Etc.,
  • Waste Used Tea and Coffee Powder  KANJI (Water from Boiled Rice), Water from Cleaning the   Rice, Vegetable Etc

Methane content will vary as per type of feed. Starchy material as well as Non-Veg feed having more fat will give more methane, whereas vegetable like pumpkin, cucumber will gives less gas.

We have to make a distinction between cooked waste and uncooked waste. In case of cooked waste, fermentation has already started and thus it is easy for microbes to react. however , in case of vegetables waste (uncooked material ),fermentation is achieved by keeping the material for a day or two in water (better hot water ) or in the output slurry after crushing to get better results.

At a time when people are grappling with the shortage of kerosene and cooking gas not to mention the crippling power cuts, biogas plants should have been the most effective source of fuel for cooking, at least in rural areas.
However, two community biogas plants installed by the Thanthai Periyar Government Institute of Technology (TPGIT), Vellore, in Kattuputhur village panchayat five years ago are in a state of disuse.
Enquiries with the residents reveal that the plants suffered owing to the lack of proper follow-up by the village panchayat. There is one more contributory factor: the villagers themselves are not dependent on the plants. As most of them are employed in government, defence service or private sector, they have LPG connections and induction stoves.
This throws up the question on the identification of suitable village for biogas plant projects.
Located in Kaniyambadi panchayat union, the two community biogas plants were set up by the TPGIT in 2007 at a cost of Rs.8 lakh under the Institute's Service to the Community and Economy scheme, with funds from the World Bank-aided Technical Education Quality Improvement Programme (TEQUIP).
The project originally envisaged the supply of cow dung from houses to the plants for the production of methane gas, which, in turn, would fuel stoves in the kitchens. Pipelines were laid from the plants to houses for supply biogas.
Another objective was to enable the village panchayat produce vermi compost using the huge volume of dung and improve its income by selling the vermi-compost, which was expected to fetch about Rs.1000 a day.
About 60 houses in the village lit their stoves with biogas from these plants. After a few months, the plants became defunct.
According to some villagers, the community biogas plants could be revived if only the village panchayat takes sincere steps.
K. Viswanathan, former president of the panchayat, during whose tenure the project was implemented, says the project failed because of a flaw in the size of pipes used. As only 3/4-inch pipes were laid from the plants to the houses for supplying the gas, which resulted in poor flow delaying the cooking. Two-inch pipes should have been provided. He contends there is nothing wrong per se with the concept of biogas plants. To substantiate his point, he says at least 20 households have set up individual biogas plants, which are working.
Mr. Viswanathan has not given up the hope of the plants resuming operations. He is trying to get the services of a German non-governmental organisation to help revive the project by repairing the plants.

poultry waste biogas plant
In a rare initiative, a farmer of Haryana, Ramehar Singh of Silani village in Jhajjar district, has installed a 50-KW capacity poultry litter-based biogas power plant at his poultry farm using poultry waste as feed material.
Showing the way to other farmers by his enterprise by running his 65 KVA (50-KW) biogas plant for 14 hours a day for the last three months, this self-reliant farmer now saves about `1 lakh per month. Confident of meeting his power needs, he has got his state electricity board connection disconnected.
Mr Ramehar Singh has been running poultry farm for 20 years on power supplied by state electricity board and on a diesel genset and paying monthly charges of `45,000 apart from diesel bill of `1.2 lakhs every month. However, after the installation of power plant he does not pay any electricity bill and his diesel cost has been reduced by half. Mr Singh’s initiative to convert litter into fuel for power plant has helped him save about `1 lakh every month. He installed three biogas digesters of 85 CUM each at the cost of `30.3 lakhs.
Keeping in view the success of litter-based power plant and available potential in the state, the state government has organised a one-day visit of about 100 poultry farm owners from various districts last week to the farm of Ramehar Singh for first-hand experience of power generation from poultry litter and to enable them to gain from Mr Singh’s experience.
As per government information, there are about 30 million poultry heads in Haryana.
