Biogas generally comprise of 55-65 % methane, 35-4carbon dioxide, 0.5-1.0 % hydrogen sulfide and traceswater vapor.
Average calorific value of biogas is 20 MJ/m3 (4kcal/m3).
Critical temperature required for liquefaction of methis -82.1oC at 4.71MPa pressure, therefore use of biogalimited nearby the biogas plant.
An estimate indicates that India has a potential generating 6.38 X 1010 m3 of biogas from 980 million toof cattle dung produced annually.
The heat value of this gas amounts to 1.3 X 1012 MJaddition, 350 million tones of manure would also prodalong with biogas.

BIOGASPRODUCTION PROCESS
Biogas production process (Anaerobic digestion) is a multiple-stage process i
which some main stages are:
Chemical reactions involved in biogas production:C6H12O6 3CO2 + 3CH4
CO2 + 4H2 > CH4 + 2H2O
CH3COOH > CH4 + CO2

Then if we need 28 kg of bio gas to be equivalent to one bottle of Butane (14 kg)based on calorific value of butane is double of calorific Value of bio gas, which canbe enough for one home during one month.
Amount of dry waste needed per month= 28 kg biogas / 0.15 kg biogas/ 1 kg drywater = 186.67kg waste / month
If we used the ratio 1: 1 water to be added then we need 186. 67 litre of water tobe added to our 186. 67kg of organic waste then the total volume we Need 373.33litres (~375L).
Tank Volume = Volume of mixture + 20% of mixture volume for gas space
= volume of mixture (1+0.2)
= 375 Litter (1.2) = 450 Litre, (SAY 500 Litter) tank volume we need
= 1/2 m^3 tank volume will be good choice

Running cost
The annual running costs are:
1. Annual running cost to operate the digester =10% of digester cost [37] + water cost =
2500+5000= 7500/Year
2. (5000) water cost/year =200Liter/40day * 365 day/year=1825 Litre/Y
Biogas profit
Profit of produced biogas = (700 / one butane bottle /month) * 12 month/Year = 8400/Year.
Fertilizer Profit.
Price of 1 ton fertilizer 5000/Ton
Yearly fertilizer produced = 200kg /40 day x 365 day /year = 1825 kg/year
= 1.825 ton/year =>Yearly fertilizer profit = 1.825ton x 5000 = 9000/year
ECONOMIC EVALUATION OF A FAMILY

Total income/Year = biogas profit+ Fertilizer profit [37]
Total income/Year = 17400
The profit /year = income profit - running cost [37]
The profit /year = 17400 7500 = 10000/-
The Simple Bay Back Period
= capital cost /annual profit [37] = 25000 / 10000= 2.5 years
This means, the rural family will get back the capital cost within a time period
less than three years which is a reasonable period.

Conclusions
The suitable family digester type is the single stag patch digester WithV=0.5m. This will make a benefit of10000/year and the Simple payback
period of it is less than three years.
Under ideal conditions temperature 35 C, pH value 6-7, and retention time 40
days in rural India, it is possible to produce about 0.15 kg of gas per kg drywaste at atmospheric pressure.
Biogas is a source of renewable energy usually contains about 50 - 70 % CH 4,
30 - 40 CO 2, and other gases , it has a heat value of 34200kJ/kg(9.5 kWh / kg) which equals 1/2 heat value of C4H10.

Recommendations
More researches and practical studies have to be done to improve biogasplants in our country.
The Indian government has to fund most of digesters which can be built inrural areas with good cooperation between farmers and related sectors as
energy, environment and agricultural sectors to improve and apply digestersin India.
Strong backing in the new waste strategy should mean that we start to fulfil
this potential, with the widespread introduction of food waste collectionmanagement and the construction of more AD plants across the nation.

Like biofuel. biogas is used as a substitute to mainstream fossil fuels. Itcan either be fed through the grid and used for heating purposes, or burnt
in large power stations and converted to electricity."
