Diseño de un Biorreactor y Conducción del Biogas Generado por las Excretas de Ganado Vacuno, Estación TUNSHI - ESPOCH.

Abstract

"A bioreactor was designed for the further obiainment and conductin of biogas, as a renewable energy fiom catle manure at the Tunshi-Espoch Experimental Stxion to reduce the environmental impact generated by the meihane gas emission to the atmosphere and over accumulation of organic mater in such 2 station. The manure amount the average housing time of the adult bovine units were determined, morcover th biogas quantity generated a a lb Level was assesed through the use of two bateh- +ype bioreactrs. The decision matrix use permitted to know about the biorexctor type which s the most suitable for the experimental station conditions.

""The use of formulae, equations and engineering calculi determined the geometrical parameters for the bioreactor design which were drawn in planes by the autocad program. The fixed-dome bioreactor dimensions (Chinese type) are the following: 3.30(m) height, 3(m) diameter, 4(m') dome biogas storage volume and 26 (m') total volume. It is considered that the bioreactor will produce S(n"") daily biogas distributed ihrough piping in the experimental station surroundings. With the investigaron information is provided on new altemative energy for a possible applicaion so as to diminish the environmental impact produced by the fossil fuels."
