9. 3. ORGANIZATIONAL PROFILE
INDUSTRY PROFILE
Biogas in India has been traditionally based on dairy manure as feed stock and these
"gobar" gas plants have been in operation for a long period of time, especially in rural
India. In the last 2-3 decades, research organisations with a focus on rural energy
security have enhanced the design of the systems resulting in newer efficient low cost
designs such as the Deenabandhu model.
The Deenabandhu Model is a new biogas-production model popular in India.
(Deenabandhu means "friend of the helpless.") The unit usually has a capacity of 2 to
3 cubic metres. It is constructed using bricks or by a Ferro cements mixture. In India,
the brick model costs slightly more than the Ferro cement model; however, India's
Ministry of New and Renewable Energy offers some subsidy per model constructed.
LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is a key source of cooking fuel in urban India and its
prices have been increasing along with the global fuel prices. Also the heavy subsidies
provided by the successive governments in promoting LPG as a domestic cooking
fuel has become a financial burden renewing the focus on biogas as a cooking fuel
alternative in urban establishments. This has led to the development of prefabricated
digester for modular deployments as compared to RCC and cement structures which
take a longer duration to construct. Renewed focus on process technology like the
Biourja process model has enhanced the stature of medium and large scale anaerobic
digester in India as a potential alternative to LPG as primary cooking fuel.
In India, Nepal the biogas produced from the anaerobic digestion of manure in small-
scale digestion facilities is called gobar gas; it is estimated that such facilities exist in
over 2 million households in India, 50,000 in Bangladesh and thousands in Pakistan,
particularly North Punjab, due to the thriving population of livestock. The digester is
an airtight circular pit made of concrete with a pipe connection. The manure is
directed to the pit, usually straight from the cattle shed. The pit is filled with a
required quantity of wastewater. The gas pipe is connected to the kitchen fireplace
through control valves. The combustion of this biogas has very little odour or smoke.
Owing to simplicity in implementation and use of cheap raw materials in villages, it is

10. one of the most environmentally sound energy sources for rural needs. One type of
this system is the Sintex Digester. Some designs use vermiculture to further enhance
the slurry produced by the biogas plant for use as compost. To create awareness and
associate the people interested in biogas, the Indian Biogas Association was formed. It
aspires to be a unique blend of nationwide operators, manufacturers and planners of
biogas plants, and representatives from science and research. The association was
founded in 2010 and is now ready to start mushrooming. Its motto is "propagating
Biogas in a sustainable way".
In Pakistan, the Rural Support Programmes Network is running the Pakistan Domestic
Biogas Programme which has installed 5,360 biogas plans and has trained in excess of
200 masons on the technology and aims to develop the Biogas Sector in Pakistan.
In Nepal, the government provides subsidies to build biogas plant at home. The idea
that rotting vegetable matter gives off a flammable gas has been understood since the
ancient Persians. In modern times, the first sewage plant was built in Bombay in
1859; an idea that was brought to the UK in 1895, when the gas produced was used to
light street lamp.
This system was developed in the UK and Germany in the early 1900s for the
treatment of sewage. Centralised drainage systems were being installed in many
towns in Europe and anaerobic digestion was seen as a means to reduce the volume of
solid matter in the sewage. The gas produced was occasionally used as a source of
energy, such as for running vehicles.
The use of farm manure to generate methane was developed, again in Bombay, in the
1930s. It was developed for use by Indian villagers by KVIC (Khadi and Villages
Industries Commission) in the early 1960s. This design, which used a floating steel
gas drum, formed the basis of an on-going Indian Government outreach programme to
provide villagers with cooking fuel.
China started a similar programme in the 1960s and claimed that 5 million plants had
been built by the early 1980s. The design was based on a septic tank. The
original rectangular tank was rapidly replaced by a design based on a dome shape.

11. KVIC floating drum design used in Nepal
Dome design adapted for Nepal
Similar designs were developed by various groups in India and formed the basis of an
effective programme in Nepal, which is now called BSP (Biogas Sector Partnership).
The Indian programme inspired a brief enthusiasm for on-farm energy generation via
biogas in the UK in the early 1980s, when the oil price spikes caused people to look
for alternatives. The drop in the price of oil, and therefore electricity, which followed
made the farm-scale biogas plants look uneconomic, so few of the 200 or so plants
that were built at that time survived.
Biogas is one of the viable alternatives to the burning energy question. In 2014-15,
about 20,700 lakh cubic meters of Biogas is produced in the country which is
equivalent to 5% of the total LPG consumption in the country. The Government is
also extending substantial subsidy for setting up of new Biogas plants.
At a time when the viability and safety of energy alternatives is being debated, it is
pertinent to look at one of the oldest renewable energy alternatives, Biogas.

12. Biogas is primarily Methane and Carbon dioxide. It may have small amounts
of hydrogen sulphide moisture and siloxanes. The gases methane, hydrogen
and carbon monoxide can be combusted or oxidized with oxygen. This energy release
allows biogas to be used as a fuel; it can be used for any heating purpose, such as
cooking. It can also be used in a gas engine to convert the energy in the gas into
electricity and heat.
A family type biogas plant generates biogas from organic substances such as cattle –
dung, and other bio-degradable materials such as biomass from farms, gardens,
kitchens and night soil wastes etc. The process of biogas generation is called
anaerobic digestion (AD). The following are the benefits of the Biogas technology
 It provides clean gaseous fuel for cooking and lighting.
 Chemical fertilizers can be done away with since the digested slurry
obtained from the biogas plants can be used as enriched bio-manure.
 It is good for the climate and for sanitation problems since toilets can be
linked directly with biogas plants.
Biogas Production in India
In response to a series of questions posed to the New and Renewable Energy Ministry
in the Loksabha on Biogas plants and the production of biogas across the country, the
minister in charge, Mr. Piyush Goyal
In India, the estimate for the production of biogas is about 20,757 lakh cubic meters in
2014-15. This is equivalent to 6.6 crore domestic LPG cylinders. This is equivalent to
5% of the total LPG consumption in the country today.
Within states, Maharashtra tops the production with 3578 lakh cubic meters while
Andhra Pradesh comes next with 2165 lakh cubic meters.

13. Future Plan
Apart from these, under the twelfth five-year plan (2012-2017), the government of
India had set a target to set up 6.5 lakh biogas plants across the nation with a budget
of Rs.650 crores under a program called, the National Biogas and Manure
Management Program (NBMMP). It had been estimated that by setting up of these
biogas plants, about 1-6 cubic meter of biogas per day and 4745 lakh cubic meter
biogas could be produced annually. The program is being implemented by the State
Nodal Departments/State Nodal Agencies and Khadi and Village Industries
Commission (KVIC), Biogas Development and Training Centers (BDTCs).
The NBMMP is being implemented as a central sector scheme. It provides for setting
up of family type biogas plants mainly for rural and semi-urban households. The
scheme provides for capital subsidy, turn-key job fee for supervision of installation
and free maintenance warrantee for five years, organization of training courses,
workshops/seminars and information dissemination
 Capital subsidy provision of Rs.1500/- per plant for fixed dome Deenbandhu
type and floating gasholder KVIC type brick masonry models.
 Free maintenance warrantee up to five years.
What is the Progress of the plan?
Out of the 1.06 lakh biogas plants planned to be setup in 2013-14, 79% that is, 83540
plants have been successfully setup. For the year 2014-15, of the 1.1 lakh plants
planned to be setup, 45146 were already setup as of 31st
December 2014. Comparing
both the years, there is a 1.7% increase in the number of plants that were planned to

14. be setup and also an encouraging 3% increase in the number installed until the end of
2014

National Biogas and Manure Management Programme (NBMMP)
National Biogas and Manure Management Programme is a Central Sector Scheme,
which provides for setting up of Family Type Biogas Plants mainly for rural and
semi-urban/households. A family type biogas plant generates biogas from organic
substances such as cattle –dung, and other bio-degradable materials such as biomass
from farms, gardens, kitchens and night soil wastes etc. The process of biogas
generation is called anaerobic digestion (AD) and salient benefits of biogas
technology are given below-
 It provides clean gaseous fuel for cooking and lighting. Digested slurry from
biogas plants is used as enriched bio-manure to supplement the use of
chemical fertilizers. It improves sanitation in villages and semi -urban areas by
linking sanitary toilets with biogas plants. Biogas Plants help in reducing the
causes of climate change.
 Ministry of New and Renewable Energy is implementing the National Biogas
and Manure Management Programme (NBMMP) in all the States and UTs of
the country. About 47.5 Lakh biogas plants have already been installed in the
country up to 31st
March, 2014. During the year 2014-15, a target of setting up
1, 10,000 biogas plants has been set. The Biogas plant is the best

15. option for households having feed material, to become self- dependent for cooking
gas and highly organic enriched bio-manure. It provides the solution to protect the
households from the problems of indoor air pollution and while saving on cost of
refilling of LPG cylinders.2

21. 4. THERORIZATION RESEARCH TOPIC
PRELAUNCH SURVEY
New ideas for products and services are conceived every day — yet many of them
fail because they weren’t properly introduced to the market. Prelaunch survey helps
ensure both that the product launch will hit the ‘right buttons’ in the consumer, and
ensures that the product idea itself addresses the (often unspoken) desires of the
customer1
DEFINITIONS:
A pre-launch allows companies, teams, and individuals to get a big jump start to build
a home based, network marketing, or MLM business. Now there are several different
types of pre-launches, depending on what a company or the individuals behind the
launch are aiming to accomplish.2
MARKET SURVEY:
Where you actually speak to members of your target audience--are an important part
of market research. You can choose to hire a company to do it for you, but conducting
the interviews yourself will most likely give you a much better idea of the needs of
your target audience and will provide you with insights that you might not otherwise
have gleaned.
The study of the spending characteristics and purchasing power of the consumer who
are within your business's geographic area of operation; a research method for
defining the market parameters of a business.
If you're going the do-it-yourself route, you'll probably want to act as the focus group
moderator. As the moderator, you'll want to encourage an open-ended flow of
conversation and be sure to solicit comments from quieter members, or you may end
up getting all your information from the talkative participants only. Also, when
conducting any type of survey, whether it's a focus group, a questionnaire or a phone
survey, pay particular attention to customers who complain or give you negative
feedback. You don't need to worry about the customers who love your product or

22. service, but the ones who tell you where you're going wrong provide valuable
information to help you improve.
Telephone interviews: This is an inexpensive, fast way to get information from
potential customers. Prepare a script before making the calls to ensure you cover all
your objectives. Most people don't like to spend a lot of time on the phone, so keep
your questions simple, clearly worded and brief. If you don't have time to make the
calls yourself, hire college students to do it for you.
Direct-mail interviews: If you want to survey a wider audience, direct mail can be
just the ticket. Your survey can be as simple as a postcard or as elaborate as a cover
letter, questionnaire and reply envelope. Keep questionnaires to a maximum of one
page, and ask no more than 20 questions. Ideally, direct-mail surveys should be
simple, structured with "yes/no" or "agree/disagree" check-off boxes so respondents
can answer quickly and easily. If possible, only ask for one or two write-in answers at
most.
Fax/e-mail interviews: Many of the principles used in direct-mail interviews also
apply to these surveys. One exception: Never send an unsolicited fax that is more than
one page. Give clear instructions on how to respond, and be appreciative in advance
for the data you get back.
BENEFITS OF SURVEYS
Market surveys help businesses make better decisions about the types of products and
services they offer, prices, how to deal with competitors and whether to enter or exit
markets. Analysis of market surveys can prevent a business from making a costly
mistake such as launching a new product or service that doesn't fulfil a need in the
market, getting into a market that is saturated with competitors and setting prices too
high or too low. Surveys can help entrepreneurs assess the viability of new ideas.3

23. BIOGAS
Biogas typically refers to a mixture of different gases produced by the breakdown of
organic matter in the absence of oxygen. Biogas can be produced from raw materials
such as agricultural waste, manure, municipal waste, plant material, sewage, green
waste or food waste.4
DEFINITIONS:
Gaseous fuel, especially methane, produced by the fermentation of organic matter.5
Oxford Dictionaries
A gas containing methane that can be burned as a fuel, produced by dead plants and
animals as they decay.6
Cambridge dictionary
Biogas can be produced by fermenting organic materials in absence of air with the
help of bacteria to break down materials to intermediates such alcohol and fatty acids
and finally methane, carbon dioxide and water.7
K.M.Mital
Classification of biogas plants depends upon the plants design and mode of working.
One common way to classify them is:
1. Movable type drums plant
2. Continuous type plant
3. Batch type plant
BATCH TYPE BIOGAS PLANT
Batch type biogas plants are appropriate where daily supplies of raw waste materials
are difficult to be obtained. A batch loaded digester is filled to capacity sealed and
given sufficient retention time in the digester. After completion of the digestion, the
residue is emptied and filled again. Gas production is uneven because bacterial
digestion starts slowly, peaks and then tapers off with growing consumption of
volatile solids.
This difficulty can overcome by having minimum to digester so that at least one is
always in operation. This problem can also minimize by connecting batch loaded
digester in series and fed at different times so that adequate biogas is available for
daily use. The salient features of batch-fed type biogas plants are:

24. (i) Gas production in batch type is uneven.
(ii) Batch type plants may have several digesters for continuous supply of gas.
(iii) Several digesters occupy more space.
(iv) This type of plants require large volume of digester, therefore, initial cost
becomes high.
(v) This plant needs addition of fermented slurry to start the digestion process.
CONTINOUS TYPE BIOGASS PLANT
In continuous type biogas plant, the supply of the gas is continuous and the digester is
fed with biomass regularly. Continuous biogas plants may be single stage, double
stage or multiple stages. Digestion of waste materials in a single chamber or digester
is called single stage process, in two chambers or digester is called multi stage
process. In double stage process, acid genic and methanogen stage are physically
separated into two chambers. Thus, the first stage of acid production is carried out in a
separate chamber and only diluted acids are fed into the second chamber where
biomethanation takes place.
In single stage, acid genic and methanogen stage are carried out in the same chamber
without barrier. These plants are economic, simple and easy to operate. These plants
are generally for small and medium size biogas plants. However, the two stage biogas
plants are costlier, difficult in operation and maintenance but they produce more gas.
These plants are preferred for larger biogas plant system. The important features of
continuous type biogas plants are:
(i) Gas production is continuous.
(ii) Retention period is less 8

25. LITERATURE REVIEW
1) M.B. Kulkarni This study based on biogas energy a premising source of
energy as it produce useful energy from waste material with less environment
emission. Performed the laboratory scale experimental research work
regarding biogas production potential of different organic waste.9
2) M. kamat- This study based on Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is defined as
any waste generated by household, commercial and institutional activities and
is not hazardous solid waste management is an organization process of
storage, collection, transportation processing and disposal of solid refuse
residuals is a landfill. The characterization of kitchen waste can have collected
from canteens. High moisture contents make thermal recovery from solid
waste and make biogas.10
3) Gedefaw Mohammad -This study is based on the biogas plant installed in
agriculture potential. the renewable energy could provide the much desired
sustainable rural revitalization in most developing countries. Evaluate biogas
production from wastage and determine the food waste component that
produces the highest biogas quantity. The biogas is not a cheap source but it
beneficial for the environment.11
4) HonaSarvari Horvath – This study on the biogas production through
anaerobic digestion is an environmental process on utilizing organic waste. the
biogas production from domestic biogas technologies the amount of organic
materials currently available for biogas production is limited as well as
effective technologies are needed to facilitate the growth off biogas industry
all biomass the development of high rate system.12
5) ZianaZiauddin -This statement is based on the Nehru college of Engineering
& research centre, there are two canteens in college and both have a mess
where create the large amount of kitchen waste. kitchen waste was collected
and produce a biogas, the continuous fed digesters requires addition of sodium
hydroxide (NaOH) to maintain the alkalinity & PH to 7. The anaerobic
digestion of kitchen waste produces biogas a valuable resource.13

26. 6) Ogur, E. O. and Mbatia -This statement on conversion of kitchen waste into
biogas the project done at Kabete institute kitchen there is potential for biogas
production from kitchen waste themselves can be treated to minimize the
impact on environment and provide nutrient rich organic fertilizer.14
7) Jyothilakshmi-This statement is based on the biogas in India; the biogas
production in India by anaerobic degradation of animal manure has been
practiced more than 50 year. The technology better adopted to meet the energy
demand of rural population. It is renewable energy source and can become a
replacement of natural gas and liquid petroleum gas. The importance of biogas
slurry as organic fertilizers which is a byproduct of bio gasification and its
utilization. The application of biogas slurry is manure.15
BOOK REVIEW
The book “Biogas Systems “written by K.M.Mital for energy deficient age in which
we live today demands that new sources of energy should be fully exploited. Authors
view is to consolidate major developments in this fields which took place in the
course of last five decades. However, developments have been so rapid and vast in
this field that comprehensiveness of coverage can at best be claimed only in
bibliographic sense.
Designed to meet requirement of all those who are working for advancement of
biogas technology. Appeal both technical and non-technical persons alike interested
in general fields of energy the book give the information about biogas technology.
The book is deliberately selective and subjective in character reflecting biogas.
Developments in India have been more comprehensively covers through national
boundaries had no bearing general. This was both in vitable and desirable followings
the authors’ greater familiarity with development in this country and desirable
because biogas technology forms part of selective group of discipline which have
been developed and utilized to a far greater degree in countries like India, China,
Nepal and Philippines than western world.
Biogas is not exact fuel, its composition and characteristics vary from source to
source. Variation in feed stock composition from place to place poses problems in
biogas.16

RESEARCH DESIGN
Research design is the plan, structure and strategy of investigation conceived so as to
obtain answers to research questions and to control variance and is the specification of
methods and procedures for acquiring the information needed .It is the over-all
operational pattern or framework of the project that stipulates what information is to
be collected from which sources by what procedure.

29. DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH
Descriptive research is undertaken in many circumstances. When the researcher is
interested in knowing the characteristics of certain groups such as age, sex,
educational level, occupation or income, a descriptive research may be necessary.
Other cases when a descriptive study could be taken up are when he/her is interested
in knowing the proportion of people in a given population who have behaved in a
particular manner, making projections of a certain thing: or determining the
relationship between two or more variables. The objective of such a study is to answer
the “who, what, when, where, and how “of the subject under investigation.
There is a general feeling that descriptive studies are factual and very simple. This is
not necessarily true. Descriptive studies can be complex, demanding a high degree of
scientific skill on the part of the researcher.
WHY USED DESCRIPTIVE?
Use descriptive research because it is well structured and it is flexible research. It is
interested research knowing the characteristics of certain group i.e. farmers and
biogas manufactures.
SOURCES OF DATA
PRIMARY DATA
The primary data are those which are collected afresh and for the first time, and thus
happen to be original in character. Primary data has been collected through
administering the questionnaire personally to Farmers and biogas manufactures. The
response will be analysed and evaluated to extract the required information. By
observation, personal interviews and through Tele communication.
SECONDARY DATA
The secondary data, on the other hand, are those which have already been collected by
someone else and which have already been passed through the statistical process.
Secondary data has been collected by, District Census Report 2011(DCR 2011).

30. SAMPLE SIZE
Sample size determination is the act of choosing the number of observation or
replicates include in statistical sample.
The population of farmers in Nasik Tehsil is 42300(Source: District Census Record
2011)
Margin of error accept- 5%
Confidence level need-90%
Response distribution-50%
The sample size is for the research of farmers is 271.
Source: http://www.raosoft.com/samplesize.html
The population of biogas manufactures is 70.
The sample size is for research of manufactures is 70
Source:https://m.indiamart.com/impact/biogas-plant.html
SAMPLE FRAME
In statistics, a sample frame is the source material or device from which a sample is
drawn.
Sample frame is farmers and biogas manufactures.
SAMPLING TECHNIQUE
The sampling technique is used convenience technique.
CONVENIENCE TECHNIQUE
Convenience sampling (also known as availability sampling) is a specific type of non-
probability sampling method that relies on data collection from population members
who are conveniently available to participate in study.
RESEARCH INSTRUMENT
The instruments used for research are mainly questionnaire and interviews. A set of
questionnaire was presented to respondents. Because of its flexibility, it is by far the
most common instrument used to collect primary data.

46. HYPOTHESIS TECHNIQUE
A hypothesis (plural hypotheses) is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon. For a
hypothesis to be a scientific hypothesis, the scientific method requires that one can
test it. Scientists generally base scientific hypotheses on previous observations that
cannot satisfactorily be explained with the available scientific theories. Even though
the words "hypothesis" and "theory" are often used synonymously, a scientific
hypothesis is not the same as a scientific theory. A working hypothesis is a
provisionally accepted hypothesis proposed for further research.
Chi-Square Test
Chi-square test is the most common test of statistical significance that can be utilized,
and for the measures of correlation, the contingency coefficient can be worked out.
In order to judge the significance of association between two attributes, we make use
of Chi-square test by finding the value of Chi-square X2and using Chi-square
distribution the value of X2can be worked out as under:

49. 7. FINDINGS & CONCLUSIONS
A] FROM FARMERS
1) The less (43%) farmers are aware about biogas but many (57%) are not
aware about biogas because they used other sources for cooking, awareness
about biogas is less in Nashik Tehsil. (Table 6.1)
2) Most of the (65%) farmers say kitchen waste can create at their home bur
35% farmers say no create kitchen waste at their home. (Table 6.2)
3) The 44 % farmers are used biogas for cooking, 56% use other sources for
cooking because they unknown about biogas uses and benefits. (Table 6.3)
4) 33% biogas user face the problem in their biogas equipment but 67%
biogas user not face the problem in their biogas equipment they say biogas
is work properly. (Table 6.4)
5) The 27% biogas user faces pipe choke up problem, 58 % face odor
problem, 15% face other problem in their biogas equipment. (Table 6.5)
6) Most of the (80%) biogas user feedback is biogas save their money and 20
% biogas user feedback is biogas is not save money because they faced
biogas problems in their biogas equipment’s. (Table 6.6)
7) 100% biogas users got the subsidy on their biogas equipment i.e.
government of India is give subsidy on biogas. (Table 6.7)
8) Farmers are spending the money on fertilizer, the 57% farmers spend 40-50
thousand per year and 43% farmers spend 30-40 thousand per year on 2-
acre land if they used biogas slurry for farm they minimized the fertilizer
cost and increasing soil productivity. (Table 6.8)

50. B] FROM BIOGAS MANUFACTURES
1) The 43% biogas plant is domestic i.e. it is for home use and other 57% is
portable i.e. they are used for industrial use. (Table 6.9)
2) The 15% biogas equipment price range below 15 thousand, 58% biogas
equipment price range is 15-30 thousand, 24% biogas equipment price 30-40
thousand, 3% biogas equipment price range above 45000 for 2 cubic meters.
(Table 6.10)
3) The 57 % biogas equipment produce 1-1.50 cubic meter, 36%prduce 1.50-2
cubic meter & 3% produce 0.75 -1 cubic meter biogas per day i.e. it’s helpful
to renewable source of energy. (Table 6.11)
4) The 68% biogas manufactures are used plastic for equipment other use cement
and iron i.e. plastic is mostly used for domestic biogas equipment. (Table
6.12)
5) The 57 % biogas equipment works 2-2.5 hours, 23 % works 1.5-2 hours &20
% works 1-1.5 hours per day. (Table 6.13)
6) The many (70%) biogas equipment life is 9-10 years so it is beneficial to
farmers for save their money in biogas equipment for 10 years. (Table 6.14)

51. CONCLUSIONS
 The farmers in Nashik Tehsil are not aware about the Home Biogas, so
awareness should be created in Nashik Tehsil is useful and beneficial for
future.
 There is various biogas equipment with their parameters in India like price,
material, life, capacity, workload and these parameters help to MNRE in India
 All farmers are get subsidies on the biogas so government is taking initiative
to promote biogas in India.
 The 44 % farmers are used biogas for cooking the purpose is save money and
disposed the waste in healthy manner.
 Farmers spend the money for fertilizer per year for the best crop so if they
used biogas slurry for save the fertilizer cost.
 The 67% farmers are not faced problem in their biogas equipment if sometime
problems occur in equipment by human mistake or technical problem.

52. 8. SUGGESTIONS
 Company should take awareness programs like seminar, exhibition, and events
in rural area to increase the biogas user.
 Company should make negligible use of plastic pipe and use metal pipe for
minimize the cost would be incurred in future maintenance.
 Company should avoid the pipe choke-up, odour problems by servicing per
month through company representative.
