This document discusses biogas as an alternative energy source and creating awareness among rural people. It begins by defining biogas as a gas produced from the anaerobic digestion of organic waste like animal manure and plant materials. The three main steps of biogas production are then summarized: 1) hydrolysis where enzymes break down complex materials, 2) acidification where bacteria convert compounds to acids and gases, 3) methane formation where other bacteria break down acids and gases to produce methane and carbon dioxide. The document emphasizes that biogas is a renewable and cleaner energy that can substitute fossil fuels, especially in rural areas, and explains the anaerobic digestion process that takes place in biogas production.

Title: Microalgae growth and biomass-to-synthetic natural gas conversion through hydrothermal gasification: dynamic modeling of cultivation phase in open pond and closed reactor
Bioenergy production is a promising way to manage the organic waste material while generating the heat and electricity. Anaerobic digestion of the organic material is gaining attraction due to its easy operation and the cost effectiveness. Biogas plant is an efficient bio energy production which mainly practices in developing country to transform waste into gas through the anaerobic digestion. It is a renewable energy source which helps to fulfil the energy need especially for developing country. In this research, the small-scale biogas plant was designed and implemented for household need with cow dung as a substrate. Biogas composition was measured with a multifunctional portable gas analyser. The mean content of methane (CH4) was 63.64% and carbon dioxide (CO2) was 29.04%. Substrate was allowed for store in varying time, i.e., one week, two weeks, and three weeks before the digestion process to increase the bacterial community. The longer the manure/cow dung is stored in a closed container before pass through the digester, the shorter the time for the anaerobic decomposition process.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers.

I. INTRODUCTION
Biogas is a gas whose primary elements are methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) and may have
small amount of hydrogen sulphide (H2S), Moisture and siloxanes. It is a mixture of methane (CH4), 50 to 70%
carbon dioxide (CO2), 30 to 40% hydrogen (H2), 5 to 10% nitrogren (N2) and 1 to 2% hydrogen sulphide
(H2S).Water vapour (0.3%). biogas is about 20% lighter than air and has an ignition temperature in the range of
650 to 750°C. It is a colourless and odourless gas that burns with 60% efficiency in a conventional biogas stove.
It is a product of the natural decomposition of any organic substance of animal or plant. It refers to a gas
produced by the biological breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen organic waste such as dead
plant and animal material, animal dung and kitchen waste can be converted into a gaseous fuel called biogas.
The main source for production of biogas are cattle dung, night soil, poultry or piggery dropping, agricultural
residues animals manure, wood waste from forestry and industry, residues from food and paper industries,
municipal green wastes, sewage sludge dedicated energy crops such as short rotation (3 to 15 years) grasses,
sugar crops (sugarcane, beet), starch crops (corn, wheat) and oil crops (soy, sunflower, palm oil), kitchen waste,
household waste, green waste, human waste. The components of biogas – methane and carbon dioxide- act as
greenhouse gases that harm the environment if released unburned into the atmosphere. The production of biogas
in biogas plants prevents uncontrolled emission of methane into the atmosphere and, by generating renewable
energy in the form of biogas, reduces the use of fossil fuel.
II. BIOMASS CONVERSION PROCESS
Biomass conversion process is divided into three categories, such as:
(i) Direct combustion
(ii) Thermo chemical conversion
(iii) Biochemical conversion
2.1 Direct combustion
Process of burning in presence of oxygen to produce heat and by products is called combustion
complete combustion to ashes is called is incineration. The process of combustion is applicable to solid, liquid
and gaseous fuel. Such as wood dung, vegetable waste can be dried and burnt to provide heat or converted into
low calorific value gas by “pyrolysis”.
2.1.1 Pyrolysis process
In this process organic material to gases solid and liquids by heating to 500 0
C to 900 0
C in the absence
of oxygen product of wood pyrolysis are methanol, charcoal and acidic acid all forms of organic materials
ABSTRACT: This paper deals with the use of biogas as a alternate source of energy and creating
awareness among rural people. Biogas refer to a gas made from anaerobic digestion of agricultural and
animal waste. The gas is useful as a fuel substitute for firewood, dung,agricultural residues,petrol and
electricity. Biogas, a clean and renewable form of energy could very well substitute (especially in the rural
sector) for conventional sources of energy (fossil fuels, oil, etc.) which are causing ecological–
environmental problems biogas digester involves anaerobic fermentation process in which different groups
of bacteria act upon complex organic materials in the absence of air to produce biogas.
Keywords: Alternate Source, Biogas, Methane, Waste, Biogas plant.

including such as rubber and plastic can be converted to a fuel gas which contains CO ,CH4, other hydrocarbons
(CnHm) CO2 and N2.
2.2 Thermo chemical conversion
Thermo chemical conversion process converts the biomass and its residues to fuel, chemical and power
using gasification and pyrolysis technologies.
2.3 Biochemical conversion
Biochemical conversion by micro-organisms converting biomass to biofuels are slow processes taking
place at low temp.The principal conversion process is fermentation. fermentation is a processs of decomposition
of organic matter by micro-organism. e.g- decomposition of suger to form ehanol and carbondioxide by yeast
and ethanol forming acetic acid in making vinegar.
2.3.1 Gassification
Heating biomass with about one-third of the oxygen necessary for complete combustion produces a
mixture of carbon dioxide and hydrogen known as syngas. Paralysis heating biomass in the absence of oxygen
produce a liquid pyrolysis oil both syngas and pyrolysis oil can be used as fuels both can also be chemically
converted to other valuable fuels and chemicals. ,” Gobar Gas” mainly because cow dung has been the material
for its production. It is not only the excreta of the cattle, but also the piggery waste as well as poultry droppings
are very effectively used for biogas generation. A few other material through which biogas can be generated are
algae, crop residues. Biogas is produced by digestion, pyrolysis or hydro gasification. Digestion is a biological
process that occurs in the absence of oxygen and in the presence of anaerobic organisms at ambient pressures
and temperatures of 35-70 C. The container in which this digestion takes place is known as the digester.
2.4 Anaerobic digestion
Biogas technology is concerned to micro organisms. These are living creatures which are microscopic
in size and are invisible to unaided eyes. There are different types of micro organisms. They are called bacteria,
fungi, virus etc. Bacteria again can be classified into two types’ beneficial bacteria and harmful bacteria.
Bacteria can be divided into two major groups based on their oxygen requirement. Those which grow in
presence of oxygen are called aerobic while the others grow in absence of gaseous oxygen are called anaerobic.
When organic matter undergoes fermentation (process of chemical change in organic matter brought about by
living organisms) through anaerobic digestion, gas is generated. This gas is known as bio-gas. Biogas is
generated through fermentation or bio-digestion of various wastes by a variety of anaerobic and facultative-
organisms. Facultative bacteria are capable of growing both in presence and absence of air or oxygen.
III. STEPS IN BIOGAS PRODUCTION
Biogas microbes consist of a large group of complex and differently acting microbe species, notable
the methane-producing bacteria. The whole biogas-process can be divided into three steps: hydrolysis,
acidification, and methane formation. Three types of bacteria are involved

3.1 Hydrolysis
In the first step (hydrolysis), the organic matter is enzymolyzed externally by extracellular enzymes
(cellulose, amylase, protease and lipase) of microorganisms. Bacteria decompose the long chains of the complex
carbohydrates, proteins and lipids into shorter parts. For example, polysaccharides are converted into
monosaccharide. Proteins are split into peptides and amino acids.
3.2 Acidification
Acid-producing bacteria, involved in the second step, convert the intermediates of fermenting bacteria
into acetic acid (𝐶𝐻3COOH), hydrogen (𝐻2 ) and carbon dioxide (𝐶𝑂2 ). These bacteria are facultatively
anaerobic and can grow under acid conditions. To produce acetic acid, they need oxygen and carbon. For this,
they use the oxygen solved in the solution or bounded-oxygen. Hereby, the acid-producing bacteria create an
anaerobic condition which is essential for the methane producing microorganisms. Moreover, they reduce the
compounds with a low molecular weight into alcohols, organic acids, amino acids, carbon dioxide, hydrogen
sulphide and traces of methane. From a chemical standpoint, this process is partially endergonic (i.e. only
possible with energy input), since bacteria alone are not capable of sustaining that type of reaction. Acid-
producing bacteria, involved in the second step, convert the intermediates of fermenting bacteria into acetic acid
(𝐶𝐻3COOH), hydrogen (𝐻2) and carbon dioxide (𝐶𝑂2).These bacteria are facultative anaerobic and can grow
under acid conditions. To produce acetic acid, they need oxygen and carbon. For this, they use the oxygen
solved in the solution or bound oxygen. Hereby, the acid producing bacteria create an anaerobic condition which
is essential for the methane producing microorganisms. Moreover, they reduce the compounds with a low
molecular weight into alcohols, organic acids, amino acids, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and traces of
methane.
3.3 Methane formation
Methane-producing bacteria, involved in the third step, decompose compounds with a low molecular
weight. For example, they utilize hydrogen, carbon dioxide and acetic acid to form methane and carbon dioxide.
Under natural conditions, methane producing microorganisms occur to the extent that anaerobic conditions are
provided, e.g. under water (for example in marine sediments), in ruminant stomach sand in marshes. They are
obligatory anaerobic and very sensitive to environmental changes. In contrast to the acidogenic and acetogenic
bacteria, the methanogenic bacteria belong to the archaebacter genus, i.e. to a group of bacteria with a very
heterogeneous morphology and a number of common biochemical and molecular-biological properties that
distinguish them from all other bacterial general. The main difference lies in the makeup of the bacteria’s cell
walls.
3.3.1 Symbiosis of bacteria
Methane and acid-producing bacteria act in a symbiotically manner. On the one hand, acid producing
bacteria create an atmosphere with ideal parameters for methane-producing bacteria (anaerobic conditions,
compounds with a low molecular weight). On the other hand, methane-producing microorganisms use the
intermediates of the acid producing bacteria.[2] Without consuming them, toxic conditions for the acid-
producing microorganisms would develop. In practical fermentation processes the metabolic actions of various
bacteria all act in concert. No single bacteria are able to produce fermentation products alone.
IV. PARAMETERS AND PROCESS OPTIMIZATION
The metabolic activity involved in microbiological methanation is dependent on the following factors:
(i). Substrate temperature
(ii). Available nutrients
(iii). Retention time (flow-through time)
(iv). pH level
(v). Nitrogen inhibition and C/N ratio
(vi). Substrat solid content and agitation
Each of the various types of bacteria responsible for the three stages of the methanogenesisis affected
differently by the above parameters. Since interactive effects between the various determining factors exist, no
precise quantitative data on gas production as a function of the above factors are available. Thus, discussion of
the various factors is limited to their qualitative effects on the process of fermentation.

V. CASE STUDY: FLOATING-DRUM & FIXED-DOME TYPE PLANT
5.1 Floating-drum plants
Floating-drum plants consist of an underground digester and a moving gas-holder. The gas-holder
floats either directly on the fermentation slurry or in a water jacket of its own. The gas is collected in the gas
drum, which rises or moves down, according to the amount of gas stored. The gas drum is prevented from tilting
by a guiding frame. If the drum floats in a water jacket, it cannot get stuck, even in substrate with high solid
content.
Figure 1: Basic diagram of Floating Drum, Flexible balloon and Fixed dome
5.2 The Drum
In the past, floating-drum plants were mainly built in India. A floating-drum plant consists of a cylindrical or
dome-shaped digester and a moving, floating gas-holder, or drum. The gas-holder floats either directly in the
fermenting slurry or in a separate water jacket. The drum in which the biogas collects has an internal and/or
external guide frame that provides stability and keeps the drum upright. If biogas is produced, the drum moves
up, if gas is consumed, the gas-holder sinks back.
Figure 2: Basic Structure of the Drum
Floating-drum plants are used chiefly for digesting animal and human feces on a continuous-feed mode
of operation, i.e. with daily input. They are used most frequently by small- to middle-sized farms (digester size:
5-15m3
) or in institutions and larger agro-industrial estates (digester size: 20-100m3
).
5.3 Fixed-dome Plants
A fixed-dome plant consists of a digester with a fixed, non-movable gas holder, which sits on top of the
digester. When gas production starts, the slurry is displaced into the compensation tank. Gas pressure increases
with the volume of gas stored and the height difference between the slurry level in the digester and the slurry
level in the compensation tank. The costs of a fixed-dome biogas plant are relatively low. It is simple as no
moving parts exist. There are also no rusting steel parts and hence a long life of the plant (20 years or more) can
be expected. The plant is constructed underground, protecting it from physical damage and saving space. While
the underground digester is protected from low temperatures at night and during cold seasons, sunshine and
warm seasons take longer to heat up the digester. No day/night fluctuations of temperature in the digester

positively influence the bacteriological processes. The construction of fixed dome plants is labor-intensive, thus
creating local employment. Fixed-dome plants are not easy to build. They should only be built where
construction can be supervised by experienced biogas technicians. Otherwise plants may not be gas-tight
(porosity and cracks). The basic elements of a fixed dome plant (here the Nicarao Design) are shown in the
figure below.
VI. CONCLUSION
Biogas as a alternate source of energy because it is a very cheap gas .it is a renewable source of energy.
Waste includes all items that people no longer have any use for, which they either intend to get rid of or have
already discarded. Additionally, wastes are such items which people are require to discard, for example by lay
because of their hazardous properties. Many items can be considered as waste e.g., household rubbish, sewage
sludge, wastes from manufacturing activities, packaging items, discarded cars, old televisions, garden waste, old
paint containers etc. Thus all our daily activities can give rise to a large variety of different wastes arising from
different sources.Biowaste refers to livestock manures, the biodegradable part of municipal wastes including
food and garden wastes, treated sewage sludge, organic industrial wastes such as paper and textiles and compost.
They are a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and pollution of waters courses if not managed
properly. Biowaste can be degraded anaerobically in a biogas digester to produce biogas and other gases. One
excellent source of energy is Biogas. This is produced when bacteria decompose organic material such as
garbage and sewage, especially in the absence of oxygen. Biogas is a mixture of about 60 percent methane and
40 percent Carbon dioxide. Methane is the main component of natural gas. It is relatively clean burning,
colorless, and odorless. This gas can be captured and burned for cooking and heating. This is already being done
on a large scale in some countries of the world. Farms that produce a lot of manure, such as hog and dairy farms,
can use biogas generators to produce methane.
