[Digestion] le taux de conversion en methane

G’day (bonjour),

 

I am pleased to say that my schoolboy French allowed me to basically
understand that you are asking about the need for oxygen and Buswell’s
equation, but I am not going to try and respond in French (except via Alta
Vista translations, that did help me understand your query a bit better).

 

I am an agricultural engineer so my chemistry is limited, but it must be
only dissolved oxygen that restricts the anaerobes as there is oxygen in the
water that is necessary for digestion to occur (I had not thought of this
till you asked the question!). I suggest that the hydrolysis stage uses
oxygen ions (so no free oxygen can inhibit the anaerobes) and the reason
that Buswell overestimates methane production is that not all the substrate
can be used by micro-organisms as they begin to “starve to death” as their
food supply depletes.

 

I hope this helps,

HOOROO (au revoir)

 

Je suis heureux de dire que mon Français d'écolier m'a permis de comprendre
fondamentalement que vous vous enquérez du besoin d'oxygène et d'équation de
Buswell, mais je ne vais pas essayer et répondre en français (excepté par
l'intermédiaire des traductions d'Alta Vista, qui m'ont aidé à comprendre
votre question un peu mieux). Je suis un ingénieur agricole ainsi ma chimie
est limitée, mais ce doit être seulement un oxygène dissous qui limite les
anaérobies car il y a de l'oxygène dans l'eau qui est nécessaire pour que la
digestion se produise (je n'avais pas pensé à ceci jusqu'à ce que vous ayez
posé la question !). Je propose que l'étape d'hydrolyse emploie des ions de
l'oxygène (ainsi aucun oxygène libre ne peut empêcher les anaérobies) et la
raison pour laquelle la production de méthane de sur-estimations de Buswell
est que non tout le substrat peut être employé par des micro-organismes
pendant qu'elles commencent “meurent de faim à la mort” pendant que leurs
approvisionnements alimentaires épuisent.

bonjour,

sachant que la biomethanisation est une succession d'étapes, et donc tous
dépend de la première? est ce que lors des étapes suivantes, la première est
totalement arrêté? la première étape d'hydrolyse à besoin d'O2, et la
dernière étape ne tolère pas l'O2, donc une fois l'O2 est épuisé, les autres
phases démarrent? c'est ça l'explication pourquoi la formule de BUSWEL donne
toujours un taux de conversion théorique plus élevé que l'expérience? est ce
que vous avez une autre explication ?
 

Merci

Hi,

I shall thank you to clarify the follwoing:

The density of methane is shown as 0.67, 0.72 and 1.2 on the web.  Presuming
that 1000 cubic meter of methane at 70% in biogas,  purified upto 95% and
then compressed what will be the output of gas in kgs.  It is likely to be
compressed at three stages upto 180 bar pressure.

G'day Krishna,



I think the different figures are for different pressures and/or
temperatures, as conventions vary. I have a value of 0.628 kg/m3 at 1.103
kPa and 20C, so 1000 m3 of biogas will become 737 cubic metres of 95%
methane. Ignoring the CO2 will give 700 m3 of methane, weighing about 440
kg. This will be the mass whatever the pressure (unless you have a leak!).
At 180 bar the volume will be approximately 4 cubic metres (at 20C).



Hope this helps,

HOOROO

Good day Paul,

Thank you for your prompt reply.

How have you arrived at 440 kg weight from 700 m3 of methane? Will you
please elaborate?

Regards,

Krishna

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Dear listeners,

I would like to consult on a issue of flame lifting.

I have installed 8 floating digesters and all are working well and the 
gas production is also very good.

The only issue I have right now is the flame lifting issue, specially 
with the latest installation. The latest installation, in a village in 
Bali,  has a capacity of 1000 liter gas tank and the distance between 
the structure and the stove is about 20 meters. I used a combination of 
a plastic tube and pvc of equal size and that is 1/2".

I can not get the flame burned immediately above the surface of the 
burner but it is lifting. I have tried the same stove at home in which 
the distance between the  biogas and the  stove is about 8 meters and 
the flame is stable  and not lifting.

Can anybody suggest solutions to this issue? thanks

Rgds,
Deepak

Dear Deepak,



Go through the following link.  You will get a fair idea of gas stoves.
