Fixed Roof Biogas Plant
Construction
It consits of inlet tank, digester and outlet tank. Sluury is prepeared in inlet tank. Mass is digeated in digester. Gas is collected at the top dome. Digested mass comes our from outlet tank. Gas is taken out by outlet pipe from top.
Working
The feed material is mixed with water in the influent collecting tank The fermentation slurry flows through the inlet into the digester. The bacteria from the fermentation slurry are intended to produce biogas in the digester. The process of anaerobic digestion occurs in a sequence of stages involving distinct types of bacteria. Hydrolytic and fermentative bacteria first break down the carbohydrates, proteins and fats present in biomass feedstock into fatty acids, alcohol, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, ammonia and sulfides. This stage is called “hydrolysis” (or “liquefaction”). Next, acetogenic (acid-forming) bacteria further digest the products of hydrolysis into acetic acid, hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Methanogenic (methane-forming) bacteria then convert these products into biogas. The combustion of digester gas can supply useful energy in the form of hot air, hot water or steam.

Floating Roof Biogas Plant
Construction
It consits of inlet tank, digester and outlet tank. The floating gas holder type bio gas plant consists of a dome shaped gas holder made of steel for collecting bio gas. The dome shaped gas holder is not fixed but is moveable and floats over the slurry present in the digester tank. Due to this reason, this biogas plant is called floating gas holder type biogas plant.Digested mass comes our from outlet tank. Gas is taken out by outlet pipe from top.
