A Retrospection on Current Trends in Biogas Purification

Abstract

As the non-renewable resources are depleting at a lighting speed there will be crisis for requirement of energy in near future. The only alternative is to go for renewable resources. It has been proven that biogas and gasoline can be used with association to reduce the energy demand. As even though electric vehicles are booming in the market, it will take more than a decade to move towards electric world, especially in India. The reason behind that is, the raw material required to make batteries is not at all available with India, so the only option is to export, which imposes additional cost on the country's financial books. And also the tendency of common Indian pupils to shift from IC engine to electric vehicles will incur a high debt. So to reduce the dependency on electric vehicle and also to reduce cost, biogas in the form of compressed natural gas is the only way to come in near future. The motivation of this review work is to produce biogas from food wastes, to purify and store in cylinder used to run vehicles and to analyze the effect of performance and emission characteristics of an engine

“…The delivery pressure 𝑃 𝐷 is affected by the barometric pressure at sea level (meteorologic variable), by the altitude of the delivery point and of course by the main gas distribution pressure regulator setting (and its well-known imperfections such as boost and droop [18]). This pressure regulator aims to control the operational pressure and flow of the gas [19]. It is placed upstream of the gas meter (mostly for metering accuracy [20]).…”
