Question
ENRUT/p
9.65 m3. (9.31)
Questions:-
(1)A farmer with 50 pigs proposed to use biogas generated from their wastes to power his motor car that uses 4 litres of petrol per day.
(a) Discuss the feasibility of doing this. You should calculate both the energy content of gas and the energy used in compressing the gas
to a usable volume, and compare these with the energy required to run the car. (b) Briefly comment on what other benefits (if any) he
might gain by installing a digester. You may assume that a 100 kg pig excretes about 0.5kg of volatile solids (VS) per day (plus 6 kg
water), and that 1 kg of VS yields 0.4m3 of biogas at STP.
