BioMethane is generated from organic materials as they decay. Sources of BioMethane include; landfills, POTW's/Wastewaster Treatment Systems, and from animal operations where manure can be collected and the BioMethane is generated from anaerobic digesters where the manure decomposes.
 
Methanogenesis is the production of CH4 and CO2 by biological processes that are carried out by methanogens.

 
» No storage of waste is required as it is to be directly loaded into the plant every day
 
» No foul smell since the digesters are gas tight
 
» No insects/rodent menace since there is no storage of waste
 
» The biogas generated from these digesters is substantial.
 
» Organic digested sludge removed periodically is excellent manure.
 
» Manpower requirement is less – Unskilled manpower can be utilized
 
» Portable form made of special grade flexible material
 
» Can operate at various environmental and climatic conditions
 
» Civil component is low, compared to conventional floating dome systems.
 
» Better digestion and excellent gas formation
 
» Land area required is less

 
» Optimum use of in house resource for augmenting thermal /power requirements
 
» 1 ton of food & vegetable matter = 2.5 cylinders of LPG gas equivalent /day
 
» The project payback is less than three years
 
» These projects also qualify for Carbon credits
 
» 1 m3 of Biogas would generate 1.5 kwh
 
» Environment friendly
