Generación de Biogás a través de Biodigestores Anaoerbios

Abstract

The general objective of this project was to measure the biogas produced by anaerobic digestion from two prototypes of biodigesters, supplied with organic waste and pig manure, at the Technological University of Cancun, to see what type of waste is most optimal in production of biogas. For the measurement of biogas, first the two biodigesters were built and in each one a pressure gauge was installed to measure the gas pressure generated in each container, in the same way bicycle chambers were installed to store the biogas obtained and observe what waste it produces plus. It was observed that the biodigester with pig manure provided 11.3 psi and the biodigester loaded with organic waste produced 8.5 psi of biogas. Therefore, it is appreciated that pig manure has a faster process in the generation of biogas, than other waste, however both are recommended for the generation of biogas.
