Effect of pressure on biogas production

Abstract

In facilities in which biogas systems are installed biogas is not produced and consumed simultaneously. Therefore, biogas produced when there is no consumption should be stored. Low pressure gasometers with 1- 1,5 kPa value are preferred in the rural area and when needed pressurizer is added to the system. When the pressure which gas production and usage require is provided by natural ways without usage of an added pressurizer, a respectively high pressure atmosphere can be seen. In this study, the effects of different low pressures on anaerobic fermentation of cattle manure were experimentally analyzed. Fermentation experiment which was carried out with 9 reactors with fed-batch type, 3 parallels in pressures of 19.6 kPa, 9.5 kPa and 1.5 kPa continued 60 days at 35 ºC. The acquired experimental data was subjected to LSD test in P
