The feasibility of biogas production on farms
Abstract
Biogas technology is reviewed. The following topics are discussed: (1) the potentials and limitations of anaerobic digestion; (2) on site energy generation; (3) relationship of demand to supply; (4) economics of farm scale biogas production; (5) design considerations of the biogas production system; (6) gas utilization; (7) safety guidelines and regulations; and (8) operation, maintenance, and diagnostics of small methane generation systems.
