Case study on USAID projects that EFI has developed successfully delivering biogas to communities to power their homes and cook using biogas as opposed to wood or to live in the dark.
This is a presentation from Sesa Industries Limited, one of the finalists at the 5th CII-GBC National Award for Excellence in Water Management in 2008
The awards are in 2 categories, Within the Fence for work done on minimizing the organisations water footprint, and Beyond the Fence for work done in the community around the industry.
This presentation was in the "Within the Fence" category.
We thank CII and the respective companies for giving us permission to upload these presentations on the India Water Portal website for dissemination to a wider audience.
Energy doesn’t get any cheaper, raw material prices continue to climb and margins are squeezed. There is no doubt that pelleting improves efficiency and biosecurity but can it be made more cost effective?

A Turbocharger for Digestion: Thermal Hydrolysis at Davyhulme, UKBlack & Veatch
Thermal Hydrolysis Process, or THP, offers an efficiency-boosting, sustainability-enhancing solution to utilities’ biosolids challenges. With THP of increasing interest to utilities across the U.S., this Black & Veatch presentation introduces THP and discusses its drivers, design considerations and integration challenges. Presented by Greg Knight, Black & Veatch’s U.S. THP Practice Leader, and Rick Lancaster, Regional Services Manager for United Utilities in the UK, the presentation uses the award-winning Davyhulme project as a case study. The material shows how THP can:
• Generate savings by improving biosolids quality while reducing its quantity
• Get more throughput to maximize use of existing assets
• Reduce carbon footprint while increasing renewable power generation

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.

A TEXT BOOK : Complete and comprehensive inputs in Learning about Biogas and Biogas digestors:We have tried to take the mystery away from biogas.
Biogas is a renewable energy source with many different production pathways and various excellent opportunities to use.
One main advantage of biogas is the waste reduction potential. Biogas production by anaerobic digestion is popular for treating biodegradable waste because valuable fuel can be produced while destroying disease-causing pathogens and reducing the volume of disposed waste products.
Biogas burns more cleanly than coal, and emits less carbon dioxide per unit of energy. The carbon in biogas was recently extracted from the atmosphere by photosynthetic plants. Releasing it back into the atmosphere adds less total atmospheric carbon than burning fossil fuels.
Thus, biogas production kills two birds with one stone: it reduces waste and produces energy. In addition, the residues from the digestation process can be used as high quality fertilizer. This closes the nutrient cycle.

presentation about the what is biogas, diffterent types of biogas plant, traditional vs modern, nisargruna biogas pant and detailed analysis about why to install biogas unit.
Energy can be generated from biogas produced from anaerobic digestion of wastewater sludge. Today, advanced technologies allow external sources of organic waste to be added to the anaerobic digestion to boost the production of biogas, resulting in more energy generation.
Through smart and reliable solution, SUEZ collaborates with our clients to leverage wastewater resources to achieve their business objectives. Find out more on degremont.com.au

Green Energy for the Poor in Rural Mexico and Southeast Asia.
1. Animal Waste Biogas for Rural
Communities in Developing
Nations.
Case Study presented by:
Ricardo Hamdan and Andy Spicer, PhD.
1
2. Project Background
• Environmental Fabrics was first invited in the
summer of 2009 by the Methane to Markets
initiative with the Environmental Protection Agency.
• In coordination with TetraTech International we
established parameters to install this technology in
rural areas in Mexico and Southeast Asia.
• The project has been a huge success in rural
development and increasing people’s quality of life.
2
3. Social Drivers for the Project
• This is the perfect project to improve the conditions
of the poorest people in rural areas.
• Most of the people in rural communities use wood
and kerosene as their source of fuel and energy
causing health problems and deaths every year.
• This minor investment increases the quality of life of
the poorest citizens and it is a lesser investment than
taking care of health issues in the long term.
3
4. Digester Benefits
HEALTH BENEFITS
• Digesters kill pathogens such as Salmonella and
several enteroviruses in a retention time of 20-30
days.
• The avoidance of Kerosene and Wood as a fuel
eliminates respiratory and blood pollution.
4
5. Digester Benefits
ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
• Because of the small size of the digester we do not
need a very big footprint. Not disturbing the normal
environment.
• The fertilizer capabilities of effluent can help crop
growing.
• Reduction of flies, rodents and other plagues has
been observed.
• Odor is reduced if not eliminated.
5
6. Digester Benefits
ECONOMICAL BENEFITS
• Cheap alternative to a waste management problem.
• Brings electricity and basic cooking needs to the rural
communities.
• Reduces the government investment in critical
healthcare expenses, reducing rural mortality.

10. Entrance of the Digester
• The digester can also be hand fed. Below: pouring a bucket of manure in a
funnel on the inlet pipe

Construction
11. Effluent Pipe Installation
• Pictures show PVC pipes
• However, the effluent pipes should
also be replaced by flexible piping
to accommodate the movements
of the digester.
• Effluent lagoon is used to store the
effluent for irrigation etc.

the settled solids from the bottom of the digester

• Objective: avoid rupture of the digester due to high biogas pressure
• Can also serve as moisture trap

20. Cooking
• Cooking energy accounts for about 90 % of all household energy consumption in
developing countries.
• Advantage of biogas for cooking: Biogas burns very cleanly, and produces less
pollutants during cooking than any other fuel except electricity

Biogas Uses
24. Feasibility of the Project.
• The main issue to discuss here is if the project can
make money.
• Currently the distribution is done via cooperatives
that currently sell items to BoP final customers. A
tire tube is distributed home by home for a price.
The collection happens just like with any other good
managed by the co-op.
• Who do we cater our business model to? The end
customer? The co-ops? Or Governments? Can this
model work without government intervention?
24
25. Key Issues to Consider
• Creation of the Market. Are the health costs far
superior than the cost of the digester systems? How
much are people willing to pay for energy as
opposed to the current practices? Are there any
barriers to the spread of this technology?
• Distribution and Collection of Revenue. Should co-
ops manage the systems. Is this prone to any
corruption? How would you charge the co-op? How
can you get all parties involved?
25
26. Key Issues to Consider
• Competition. How do you create brand loyalty? Is
exclusivity an affordable venue? Or should we
franchise the digesters?
• Opportunity Cost. Is this a profitable business
opportunity? How is the relationship time invested
vs potential profit?
• Entrepreneurship. Is there room for
entrepreneurship or should this be primarily a “pet
project” for a multinational/governments?
