Temperature profiles of biogas plants operating under hilly conditions
AbstractTemperature profiles of continuously fed 3 m3 floating-drum type (Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) and fixed-dome type (Janta) biogas plants operating in the Indian hills were recorded during different seasons. The digester temperature of both these plants remained in the lower mesophilic zone (16–24°C) for nearly eight months from March to October and in a psychrophilic zone (13–15°C) for the rest of the year. In spite of large hourly variations in gas temperature in the KVIC biogas plant, the temperature of the slurry in the digester remained unaffected. The central slurry of the Janta biogas plant, from March to July, maintained a higher temperature than that of the KVIC, but was lower during the rest of the period due to its shallow structure and the re-entrance through its inlet and outlet tanks of slurry exposed to ambient temperature.
