Biogas is produced by the breakdown of organic waste by bacteria during anaerobic digestion. It is a mixture of gases, primarily methane and carbon dioxide. A biogas plant consists of a digester where the waste decomposes and a gas holder that captures the gases produced. Biogas can be used as a fuel for cooking, lighting, electricity generation, and transportation. While biogas has benefits such as being renewable and reducing pollution, some challenges to biogas adoption include plant failures and lack of technology advancement to produce cleaner gas.
How to Start Biogas Production, Biogas – An Intense Opportunity (Landfill Gas...Ajjay Kumar Gupta
Generally, biogas is a renewable fuel. In any country, for cooking or heating purposes biogas can be used as a low-cost fuel. Biogas can be used as a fuel in stationary and mobile engines, to supply motive power, pump water, drive machinery (e.g., threshers, grinders) or generate electricity. It can be used in both spark and compression (diesel) engines. The spark ignition engine is easily modified to run on biogas by using a gas carburetor.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
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. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

• Biomass as an energy source
• Biogas Generation
• Technical variants
• Applications
5. Introduction
What is Biogas?
• Most organic matter begins the process of
decomposition when it is exposed to oxygen and
sunlight.
• However, organic matter can also decompose
without any oxygen, by the process of anaerobic
fermentation.
• This happens due to the bacteria present in the
matter which acts during the absence of oxygen.
6. What is biogas?
• A mixture of methane and
carbon dioxide
CH4
CO2
• Methane or ‘swamp gas’,
produced naturally in
swampy ponds
What is this?
7. • It can also be captured from landfill sites where
organic waste has been rotting under the ground
8.
9. • Landfills see a lot of such decay, especially
when the waste material becomes wet and
receives little sunlight.
• As a result, a lot of methane and nitrous oxide
is produced and released into the atmosphere.
• Biogas is the result of this decay, and it is an
energy source like no other.
10. In other words
• 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.
• It is a renewable energy source and in many
cases exerts a very small carbon footprint.
11. • Biogas can be produced by anaerobic
digestion with anaerobic bacteria, which
digest material inside a closed system, or
fermentation of biodegradable materials
12. • Biogas is primarily methane (CH4) and carbon
dioxide (CO2) and may have small amounts of
hydrogen sulfide (H2S), moisture and siloxanes.
• The gases methane, hydrogen, and carbon
monoxide (CO) 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.
13. Biogas is primarily methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) and may
have small amounts of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), moisture and siloxanes.

14. History of Biogas
1808 – Sir
Humphrey Davy
found that
methane was
present in the
gases that is
formed by the
Anaerobic
Digestion of
manure
1884 – Louis
Pasteur student,
Ulysse Gayon,
performed the
anaerobic
fermentation of
manure and
water at 35ºC
and obtained
100 liters of
Biogas per cubic
meter of
Manure.
1895 – Biogas is
used to light up
the streets in
Exeter, England
1957 – A British
Inventor, Bates,
modifies his car
to run on Biogas
produced from
pig manure.
2005 – The
Biogas Support
program in
Nepal wins the
Ashden Reward
for installing
over 150,000
Biogas Plants in
rural areas. And
a Biogas

starts it's service
in Sweden
15. What is it used for?
• Biogas is a fuel used as an energy source for light or heat
16. What is it used for?
• Biogas is a fuel used as an energy source for light or
heat
• Cooking 0.2 m3/of biogas per person/day
• 1 lamp 0.15 m3/of biogas per hour
• engines 0.7 m3/of biogas per kWh
• Refrigeration
• Transportation
18. Advanced applications
• Biogas can be compressed, the same way natural
gas is compressed to CNG, and used to power
motor vehicles.
• In the UK, for example, biogas is estimated to
have the potential to replace around 17% of
vehicle fuel.
• It qualifies for renewable energy subsidies in
some parts of the world.
• Biogas can be cleaned and upgraded to natural
gas standards, when it becomes bio methane
19. Biogas is produced by the breakdown of organic
waste by bacteria without oxygen (anaerobic
digestion or fermentation).

21. The Main parts of a typical biogas plant consist of the
following components:-
• Inlet
• Digester
• Gas holder
• Outlet
There are different types of biogas production plants . The
main two types are as follows :-
• Fixed-dome Plant
• Floating-drum Plants
Biogas Plant
22. What is biogas plant?
• A biogas plant is an anaerobic digester that
produces biogas from animal wastes or energy
crops.
• Energy crops are cheap crops grown for the
purpose of biofuels, rather than food.
• Biofuels are liquid, gaseous, or solid fuel made
from live or recently dead organic material known
as biomass, as opposed to fossil fuels, which are
composed of ancient biological materials.
23. • Biogas is a type of biofuel created via
anaerobic, or oxygen-free, digestion of organic
matter by bacteria.
• A biogas plant is composed of a digester and a
gas holder.
24. What is a digester?
• The digester is an airtight container in which
the waste is dumped and decomposed, and
the gas holder is a tank that harnesses the
gases emitted by the slurry.
• Bacteria within the digester tank breaks
down the waste and, as it decomposes, gases
such as carbon monoxide, methane,
hydrogen, and nitrogen, are released.
25. • Through a pressurized system, the gas holder
conducts the flow of these gases upward into a
hole in its drum.
• The hole is specially designed to allow gases to
pass freely into the holder while prohibiting any
gases from escaping back into the digester.
• In a controlled environment, the gases are later
combusted, or reacted, with oxygen to create an
energy source for such processes as heating and
vehicle propulsion
26. Biogas is made by fermenting organic waste in a biogas
digester.
Digesters vary from small household systems…
How is it made?
27. Lankan Dry Batch Biogas
System
• Batch type
• Straw, cow dung, Urea
• 2 weeks for growing media
• 6 months retention time
• 4 months retention for
vegetable/ food waste
• Need to fill 2/3 of Digester
• Sludge is a good fertilizer
28. Chinese type biogas system
• Domestic food waste
• Continuous type
• Fixed dome
• Channelling prevention wall
29. Fixed dome type
• A fixed-dome plant consists of a digester with a fixed, non-movable gas
holder, which sits on top of the digester
• Advantage - 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.
33. Floating dome type
• 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
• Advantage- Floating-drum plants are easy to understand and
operate. They provide gas at a constant pressure, and the stored
gas-volume is immediately recognizable by the position of the drum.
