Abstract
Energy crisis in world is increasing. There are limited resources of crude available on the earth. Price of LPG
increasing day by day. There is a lot off waste generated which have a problem of disposal. Bio gas production
condition in India is very high. The temperature conditions for the production of bio gas are very favorable
throughout the year and the availability of the bio degradable waste is in bulk. There is great need for the
development of the plants which should be based on the Kitchen waste, industrial waste and municipality waste
treatment. So author feel, there is a lot of potential to produce biogas from kitchen waste. SLIET is spreading in
451 acre area. More than four thousand students are staying in 13 boys and girls hostels and five hundred
families are also staying in residential area of SLIET campus. A survey is conducted at SLIET Longowal and
kitchen waste data collected from different mess, residential areas, shopping complex and restaurant. Survey
revealed that 600 kg/day of kitchen waste collected from residential area of faculty, staff, students mess and
other location. Biogas of more than 32 kg/day (2 LPG Cylinder/day) can be produced by using the biogas plant.
There is an expenditure of Rs 2.50 lacs in constructing a bio gas plant. Produced biogases have a potential to
replace a LPG already utilized for a cooking purpose of 250 student capacity in a hostel. The payback period is
around 1 year and 3 months approximately.
1. Introduction
The biogas results from organic material anaerobic fermentation. The most important biogas components are
methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2) and sulfuric components (H2S). The percentage composition of these
components as: methane 65-70%, carbon dioxide 30-35%, sulfuric components 1-2%. The bio gas can be
purified for its use in various applications.
The viability of bio gas production in India is very high. The temperature conditions for the production of bio gas
are very favourable throughout the year and the arability of the bio degradable waste is in bulk.
It is also possible to earn carbon credits for biogas-based power or heat generation in India. For instance, in Apr
2008, And hyodaya, a non-government agency working in the field of promoting water management and non-
conventional energy and social development distributed the first installment of the biogas carbon credit to
farmers in the state of Kerala. Andhyodaya had helped construct 15,000 biogas plants in the state and earned
carbon credits. This trend is likely to grow further.
The use of biogas for electricity generation in India is more recent, but this trend is accelerating. In many cities
across India, sewage treatment centers and organic waste treatment plants (those treating organic municipal solid
waste, for instance) already use anaerobic digesters to generate biogas and electricity. Some of the industries that
generate significant amounts of solid or liquid organic waste also have installed digesters and gas engines for
electricity production. Many of these require sizable investments, but it is estimated that they have a good return
on investment as the main feedstock that they use is essentially free.

+24, 2) CH 4 of +8, CO 2 of 0.The energy balance can be calculated as follows: Organic material, which is built
up by photosynthesis
CO2 +H2OCH2O+O2 contain the energy.
Solid part: Total solid contained in a certain amount of materials is usually used as the material unit to indicate
the biogas- producing rate of the materials. Most favorable TS value desired is 08%.
Liquid part: contain 20% to 80 %.
Seeding of Biomass with Bacteria: To start and accelerate fermentation processes, small amount of digested
slurry, containing Methane-forming bacteria is added to the freshly charged plant. This is known Seeding.
Mixing: Mixing has three important effects: Maintains uniformity in substrate concentration, temp. & other
environmental factors. Minimise the formation of scum on the surface. Prevents the deposition of solid at the
bottom.
Hydraulic retention time (HRT): For digestion where temperature varies from 20o c to 35o C and HRT is
greater than 20 days.

2. Methodology
2.1 Potentional of bio gas
The development of simple biogas plants for rural households started in the 1950s. A Massive increase in the
number of biogas plants took place in the 1970s through strong Government backing. Meanwhile, more than one
million biogas plants exist in India. Out of this 95% of the existing plants are based on the cow dung. There is
great need for the development of the plants which should be based on the industrial waste and municipality
waste treatment. The aggregate potential for the biogas generation in India from the industrial, agriculture and
municipality basis is 2700 MW but current production of electricity is only 60 MW. Punjab is the most important
area where the potential for developing the bio gas plants is very high. This is because of the lead of the Punjab
in agriculture sector. Punjab has a very high agriculture waste.
Waste available 0.6-0.7 ton/day. Total solid waste for proposed plant : 200kg (30% Moisture). Total effluent for
treatment 0.6 ton/day

There is a potential of generation of 2 LPG energy equivalent cylinders in a day.Payback period is less than 1.5
year. Manure as a by-product is available. Potential of decentralise of energy generation. Smokeless cooking is
there so environmental balance and Pollution control.
