Odorless cooking gas from kitchen waste

Energy is an important factor for humankind. There are two types of energy sources on earth: renewable energy sources and non-renewable energy sources. Non-renewable energy comes from static storage, such as fossil fuels. These are limited and non-renewable.

But renewable energy is generated from natural sources and will continue to be regenerated. This category includes solar energy, wind and bioenergy. Biogas is an important renewable energy source. Ideal for energy availability and waste disposal. Today even small families can adjust the size of their portable plants according to the availability of their household waste. Early biogas plants were not portable, but were routinely shut down after the first few days of use. With the advent of the modified portable it can be done in a very convenient way for small and large homes.

Gas is produced from materials for a biogas plant are livestock waste, farm organic matter, and kitchen waste.

Major Advantages of Biogas Technology.

(i) It provides clean gaseous fuel for cooking and lighting.

(ii) Slurry absorbed from biogas plants is used as rich organic manure.

(iii) Improves hygiene in the home and surrounding areas.

Waste treatment is one of the biggest problems facing people today and biogas plants are a permanent solution. The size of biogas plants depends on the number of people in the household or the amount of waste available. When it comes to waste, home kitchen waste alone is enough and can be used if there is dung. A four-member home has about two and a half kilos of waste produce gas available for more than an hour. The gas coming from the plant has a higher pressure than the gas coming from a normal gas cylinder. Another advantage of the portal plant is that its top is well covered so there is no bad smell or mosquito nuisance. Also those with limited space can place it in the yard or terrace.
