Diseño y construcción de un biodigestor para producción de biogás a partir de estiércol vacuno en la Finca Isabel de la Parroquia Taracoa, Provincia de Orellana.

Abstract

A bio-manager type Chinese anaerobic was designed to produce biogas from cattle manure in the farm “Isabel”, in Taracoa, in the province of Orellana. This project was carried out considering researching literature review related to the topic and which have been applied under similar conditions with the ones found at the farm. 123kg/day of manure were estimated through simple random sampling in order to carry out a physical-chemical and microbiological analysis in the laboratory LABSU, getting the following results: total solids 14%, relation carbon/nitrogen 17:1, which were designed in the software AutoCAD and allowed performing engineering equations and formulas in order to determine dimensions of bio-manager and planimetry. The following materials were used for creating the bio-manager type Chinese: stone (4m 3 ), cement (30qq), electrowelded mesh of 10x10 mm, PVC tube of 8 and 6 inches, iron of 8mm (quintals), triplex tables (3), wood tables (25). In the farm “Isabel” 2 gas cylinders were used a month. The bio-manager type Chinse of reinforced concrete was built from prima material available considering the following dimensions: total height 3,32m; diameter 2,24m; the bio-manager chamber is 8,82m 3 , upper dome 0,935m xxi 3 and the lower done 0,563m 3 , so it is 10,318m 3 totally, obtaining an estimated production of 2,16 m 3 of biogas a day, it is a friendly means of energy with the environment which is 98% to liquid petroleum gas.
