Paragraph Q 9. Design a Biogas system for cooking for a family of six members by determining the estimation of total gas required, amount of feedstock (or dung), required and the number of animals required to have feedstock of a given amount. Consider the following parameters for system design About 350-450 liters of biogas required per day per person for cooking (in engine about 450 liters/hp/hour of biogas is required) Average production of dung per animal per day: Cow- 10 kg/day o Bullock – 14 kg/day o Buffalo – 15 kg/day is equivalent to 1 m³ of gas. Average gas production from dung is about 40 liters/kg of fresh dung. Retention period of dung slurry in digester is 50 days. 1000 liters of gas Page 2 of 3

Q 9. Design a Biogas system for cooking for a family of six members by determining the estimation of
total gas required, amount of feedstock (or dung), required and the number of animals required to have
feedstock of a given amount. Consider the following parameters for system design
About 350-450 liters of biogas required per day per person for cooking (in engine about 450
liters/hp/hour of biogas is required)
Average production of dung per animal per day:
Cow– 10 kg/day
Bullock – 14 kg/day
o Buffalo – 15 kg/day
1000 liters of gas is equivalent to 1 m³ of gas.
Average gas production from dung is about 40 liters/kg of fresh dung.
Retention period of dung slurry in digester is 50 days.
