gobar gas plant details

hello Sir
Biogas is a biofuel and it generally it refers to the gas produced from organic matter as it is broken down by biological means.
When you build a biogas plant, the gases methane, hydrogen and carbon monoxide are produced and can be combusted or oxidized with oxygen. Biogas is currently used as a low cost fuel in many countries for heating and cooking, and is also extracted from waste management facilities like sewage plants and landfill sites where it is used to run engines, to generate electricity.
Biogas is classed as a renewable fuel, and generally qualifies for renewable energy certificates or subsidies in many parts of the world.
Biogas can be produced by anaerobic digestion or fermentation of biodegradable materials such as biomass, manure, sewage, municipal waste, green waste and energy crops. The biogas produced is comprised primarily methane and carbon dioxide.
The other principal type of biogas is wood gas which is created by gasification of wood or other biomass. We have a whole site devoted to wood gasifiers with hundreds of files downloadablefor free showing how to build gasification plants. This type of biogas is comprised primarily of nitrogen, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide, with trace amounts of methane.

Advantages of gobar gas plant
Generation of biogas and fertiliser (almost complete retention of the fertiliser nutrients (N, P and K)
Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through methane recovery
Combined treatment of different organic waste and wastewaters
Reduction of solids to be handled (e.g. less excess sludge)
Good pathogen removal depending on temperature
Process stability (high-loads can be treated but anaerobic sludge can also be preserved for prolonged periods without any feeding)

Disadvantages
Experts are required for the design and construction, depending on scale may also for operation and maintenance.
Reuse of produced energy (e.g. transformation into, fire/light, heat and power) needs to be established.
High sensitivity of methanogenic bacteria to a large number of chemical compounds.
Sulphurous compounds can lead to odour.
