| Abstract: |
| Anaerobic digestion is the microbial decomposition of organic matter in the absence of oxygen, which results is production of methane. The importance of biogas production technology in terms of renewable energy production, reduction of environmental pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Methane gas has become very important todays.In remote and impassable areas, access to energy is one of the main problems. This energy requirement can be produced with renewable environment. In many countries, biomass has been used to produce biogas and energy. However, due to the low cost of fossil fuels in Iran, the use of biomass resources has not yet been taken into usual. The heart of the biogas production is reactor. In Iran, the lack of technical know-how in the design and construction of the reactor has created fundamental problems in using this clean energy. In this research, by reaching the technical knowledge of anaerobic digestion (reactor), an anaerobic digestion system was designed and constructed In the innovative device, mechanical and electronic parts were used and work automatically. These include the mixing and data system. Also, the gas treatment and refueling unit was considered. The reactor was optimized in a volume of two liters and was made in pilot form. The mixer system was mechanically and in the electronic part, sensors of pH, temperature and gas were used. In the evaluation of the reactor, the characteristics of cow waste were used. After the digester was built, it was loaded to evaluate the system. |
