Bio Gas Technology

Introduction All large industrial unites, hotels, community centers etc. run kitchen to prepare food for people. These kitchens produce large quantities of kitchen waste containing remains of cooked food material like rice, pieces of chapatti, puri oil ghee and uncooked food material such as fruit skins, rotten vegetables and fruits along with other organic residues. Disposal of such waste becomes a problem. The anaerobic technology for kitchen waste (complete organic matter) renders the waste safer for handling and disposal and generates a source of energy in form of biogas. Biogas Technology for Kitchen Waste This technology has been developed by our associate Sardar Patel Renewable Energy Research Institute (SPRERI), Vallabh Vidhyanager, Guarat, who are our technical consultant for Biogas Technology. SPRERI has done extensive research to develop this technology for treating the Kitchen Wse. It has been established that about one kg of Kitchen waste containing 79% of moisture, generates about 100 liters of biogas. Biogas originates form bacteria in the process of bio – degradation of organic material under anaerobic (without air) conditions. The natural generation of biogas is an important part of the bio-geo-chemical carbon cycle. Biogas is a mixture of gases that is composed chiefly of Methane (CH4): 55-60 vol. 60% Carbon dioxide (CO2): 30-60 vol.% and other gases. Benefits Generates useful source of energy in form of biogas, which can be used as fuel thus leading to energy conservation. Substantial savings in the cost of the existing fuels utilized Solves the problem of disposal of kitchen waste. Reduces the environmental pollution and odour problem caused by disposal of kitchen waste. The biogas plant is completely environment friendly. The biogas plant slurry is excellent manure, rich in nutrients. The biogas plant has low operation and maintenance cost FEATURES OF A TYPICAL BIOGAS PLANTS The plant consists of a Digester, which holds the waste for its conversion to biogas. A gas holder covers the Digester, which stores the gas An inlet tank for feeding the waste into the Digester. An outlet for taking out the decomposed watery waste for final disposal. It can be used for gardening. Scum brekers are provided in the gasholder.

FUTURE SCOPE OF BIOTECHNOLOGY IN INDIA – FOCUS AREAS

        Sustainable development ensuring food, nutritional, health, environmental and livelihood security of the people by harnessing the powers of biotechnology would be a dream of the scientific community.

       Translating these dreams into reality would give a major impetus to our socio-economic progress. Time-bound, mission mode, result oriented projects to be taken up for:

1. Utilization of the full potential of the genomics revolution for humankind, plants, animals and microbes;

2. To develop new vaccines, diagnostics, drugs and drug delivery system;

3. To produce a large number of low-cost, affordable small proteins and therapeutics using the plants and animals as bioreactors;

4. To engineer crops with enhanced nutritional status, biotic and abiotic resistance and introduce precision farming with new quality traits for productivity enhancement;

5. To develop environmentally friendly technology packages for pollution control, biodiversity conservation and restoration of damaged ecosystems.

6. Long term support would continue for basic research on all aspects of molecular biology, genetics and genomics, proteomics and neurosciences.

        Biotechnology research, development and commercialization, in the next 10 years would thus focus on:
