Diseño de un biodigestor tubular para obtener biogas a partir de residuos orgánicos del ganado vacuno generados en la Hacienda “Santa Mónica” Guamote

Abstract

This research was performed to design a tubular digester by getting biogas from organic waste cattle produced at Ranch “Santa Monica” located in the community Atapo Santa Cruz, Guamote canton, Chimborazo province, it was to reduce pollution generated by waste. By the experimental method sample manure 4 cows for 5 consecutive days is collected by averaging 6kg per day, that is a daily charge of 12 Kg/d data with the practical digester using drum 20L, pipes and valves are built same that was located inside the greenhouse being monitored for 62 days, temperatura controlled, test-tube, flame and swell was conduced during biogas generation. Formulas applies to project the experimental results to a total of 20 heads of cattle and overall results obtained were: daily load 240Kg/d, 14,72m digester total volumen, 1,27 diameter, length 11,56m. It is concluded that the production of methane gas is helping 3,68 m xiv 3 daily supply 55,2 % of the total value that needs the Ranch to meet their requirements. It is recommended to administration from Ranch implementing the digester for inexpensive and environmentally outgoing system that minimizes the negative impact caused by organic waste from cattle that serve as raw materials used by organic waste biogas and biofertilizer, this system can be implemented in the livestock area from country.
