Diseño y construcción de un generador de hidrogeno para la cogeneración con biogás a partir de agua hidrolizada en el Barrio 6 de Diciembre - Coca 2016.

Abstract

The design and construction of a hydrogen generator hydrolysis was carried out to improve the quality of biogas. The following mixtures was performed: 5%, 10% and 15% of the hydroxy with biogas and it subjected to a flameproof to observe the development of the combustion of biogas powered Aguilar-JC74. It designed and built the experimental prototype, by applying quantitative and experimental techniques, it made the measurement and calculation of parameters such as size, cell numbers and volume of the prototype. Subsequently it carried out the measurement of the production of hydroxy by the method of the invert test tube and determined the change of biogas powered through the flame test. The final dimensions obtained for the hydrogen generator of hydrolysis were: total volume of 12.96 L, height 18 cm, length 30cm, width 24 cm, 9 cells, each containing 5 plates, but only one is electrified with the corresponding pole. To improve the calorific value of the biogas was held the following mixtures: 5%, 10% and 15% of hydroxy with biogas, to which the evidence was subjected to the flameproof; the mixing of the best combustion characteristics was the concentration of 10% of hydroxy and 90% of biogas. Linking the calorific theoretical power of both biogas 5,335 kcal/m 3 , as the Aguilar-JC74 of 10,820.7 kcal/m

xix 3 , it reflects an improvement in calorific power. This technology has been limited by the high energy consumption for the production of hydroxy to large scale, so it is recommended to further investigate other production methods involving lower energy cost.
