Experimental Study on Biogas Digester Combined with Solar Heating System

Abstract

In order to solve the problem of low gas production of biogas digester fermented at natural temperature in winter and possibly freezing biogas digester in northern cold areas, the biogas digester combined with solar heating system is proposed to maintain the normal fermentation temperature of biogas digester and ensure the continuous and efficient gas production of biogas digester throughout the year. Through the experiment and analysis of the system, in cold area, the temperature of biogas digester can be maintained above 12.5 °C, which can meet the temperature requirements of normal fermentation in biogas digester, so it is concluded that developing solar heating biogas digester project is feasible in cold area.
