The Design and Fabrication of Biogas Production and Purification System Using Cow Dung as a Feedstock

This biogas project explores the potential of cow dung, defined as the undigested residue of consumed food material excreted by herbivorous bovine species, as a renewable energy source. The study investigates the components of a biogas system, including the digestion tank, storage unit, purification unit, and gas collection unit. The research focuses on the design and fabrication of the biogas system, taking into account various design considerations critical for its efficient operation. A comprehensive gas analysis using a multi-gas analyzer is conducted, providing valuable insights into the composition of the biogas produced. Additionally, the project assesses the gas production rate and its correlation with temperature, offering essential data for optimizing biogas generation. Throughout the study, several challenges in implementing the biogas system are identified and analyzed. These challenges shed light on the practical aspects of biogas production and highlight areas for improvement and innovation.

This research contributes to the field of renewable energy by offering a detailed analysis of a biogas system utilizing cow dung. The findings provide valuable information for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers interested in harnessing biogas as a sustainable energy solution. The project's outcomes emphasize the significance of biogas technology in addressing energy needs while promoting environmental sustainability.
