AN INVESTIGATION ON BIOGAS (KITCHEN WASTE) AS FUEL TO RUN GENERATOR
The power cuts are day-to-day problem in India and the only relief from them is generator which either runs on petrol, diesel or kerosene. The generators prove to be quite expensive in the long run and also they consume large amount of conventional fuels of which are in great shortage. To help the research of unconventional fuels Biogas is successfully tapped for small-scale generation of electricity. Biogas system are those that takes organic material (feedstock)into an airtight tank, where bacteria breakdown the material and release biogas- a mixture of mainly methane with some carbon dioxide. The current practice of using low calorie inputs like cattle-dung, distillery effluent, municipal solid waste or sewerage, in biogas plants, which makes methane generation highly inefficient. To rectify this skewed problem approach is made to make a Compact Biogas Plant which uses starchy or sugary feedstock (waste grain flour, spoiltgrain, over-ripped or misshapen fruit, non-edible seeds, fruits and rhizomes, kitchen waste, leftover food, etc.) and then subject it to the Compact Biogas plant for methane generation. As cow dung or animal dung (1kg.) contain 18% to 20% of solid matter and remaining is volatile matter. Now kitchen waste (100% solid), is used as an input for Compact Biogas plant and its output is very high, so the Biogas (Methane) formation is more in case of kitchen waste as compared to cow dung. The present paper provides a solution to fuel problems, have come up with a Biogas Run Generator generated from Kitchen Waste. S. I. Engine runs completely on Biogas, Conversion of S.I. Engine for operation on biogas includes position for entry of biogas. Throttling of intake air, advancing ignition timing. Biogas is admitted to a stationary S.I. Engine through the intake manifold and air flow control valve is provided for throttling the intake air, In this case the intake air is required to be manually throttling in the initial stage. The size of biogas plant is greatly reduced and requires only 1mx1m space to generate 650W power for one and half hour with 1Kg of kitchen waste. The generator has not only a very low running cost but also has excellent fuel efficiency. It would be ideal to make use of kitchen waste. This signifies the utility of Biogas Run Generator.
