The authors reviewed the future prospects and previous studies on anaerobic digestion technology for biogas production and highlight the solutions to problems relating to construction and maintenance of biogas digesters, which can now be accessed in a single paper. It is the aim of the review to provide insight into the use, process and application of anaerobic digestion as an appropriate technology for biogas production from peer reviewed literature. Recent studies have shown that the microbial communities and metabolic pathways involves in anaerobic digestion are influenced by temperature. Their metabolic activities increase significantly with increase in temperature. Therefore, the findings of the review reveal that temperature is a major parameter for biogas production due to its influence on metabolic activities involved in anaerobic digestion. Hence, there is the need for insulation as well as external heating to maintain temperature stability and to avoid temperature fluctuations. More also, the anaerobic digestion technology for production of biogas is a viable option that can supplement as well as reduce the usage of non-renewable energy sources such as fossil fuel. The detailed information addressed in this study would increase biogas energy mix as well as mitigating climate change. Therefore, the study recommends the use of biogas as a clean energy for the purpose of power generation, cooking and heating.

“…The insulation materials include: composites made of glass wool, sawdust, and plaster of Paris in ratio 1:2:2; black cloth coated with pitch, sodium peroxide, glass wool, and a mixture of thermocol and sawdust. The composite and black cloth coating was able to hold the temperature for more than 70 h, but the thermocol-sawdust mixture could only maintain it for 36 h [97].…”

“…Solar energy could be used as a heating source to increase the temperature of the digester [18]. Misra et al [97] developed a solar-based heating device, but the efficiency decreased during the wintertime in hilly areas. To keep the temperature as constant as possible, most of the digesters were built underground [98].…”

Household Biogas Digesters—A Review

2012

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This review is a summary of different aspects of the design and operation of small-scale, household, biogas digesters. It covers different digester designs and materials used for construction, important operating parameters such as pH, temperature, substrate, and loading rate, applications of the biogas, the government policies concerning the use of household digesters, and the social and environmental effects of the digesters. Biogas is a value-added product of anaerobic digestion of organic compounds. Biogas production depends on different factors including: pH, temperature, substrate, loading rate, hydraulic retention time (HRT), C/N ratio, and mixing. Household digesters are cheap, easy to handle, and reduce the amount of organic household waste. The size of these digesters varies between 1 and 150 m 3 . The common designs include fixed dome, floating drum, and plug flow type. Biogas and fertilizer obtained at the end of anaerobic digestion could be used for cooking, lighting, and electricity.

“…The process was tested in three full-scale plants for the treatment of yeast and pharmaceutical wastewaters. Insulating composite materials were used on ceramic digesters for temperature maintenance and the results of experimental as well as theoretical studies were presented (Misra et a! ', 1992).…”
