    INTRODUCTION

    The use of biogas as a source of fuel is a practice only recently introduced in this century.

    The process of bacterial decomposition has occurred in nature since life began plants and

    animals die and are recycled to sustain life on the planet. In the presence of oxygen, organic

    material "composts" (undergoes aerobic decomposition). When decomposition occurs in the

    absence of oxygen (anaerobic conditions), biogas is produced, and the liquid remainder is rich in

    nitrogen and other nutrients.

    The Philippines has substantial biogas resources. Biogas accounts for a significant

    proportion of renewable energy generation (99% of new and renewable energy demand

    excluding geothermal and hydro power for 1996), mainly from wood fuel and charcoal. Large

    amounts of agricultural residues and municipal solid waste are also produced, offering promising

    resources for heat and power generation.1 

    With the present energy and pollution problem in the Philippines, conversion of livestock

    wastes as source of energy and fertilizer, offers a great advantage for the livestock industry. A

    program that suits the need of backyard livestock raisers to abate the worsening problem of

    environmental pollution is now given high priority.

    Biogas is one of the renewable sources of energy receiving popularity in rural areas and

    has successfully met the cooking energy needs of families. The optimum utilization depends

    1 www. emb.gov.ph

    8/68

    upon the successful physical installations, which in turn depend upon plant design and its

    selection.2 

    Biogas is a zero waste technology. The products of biogas plants, like biogas and

    digested slurry can be utilized economically for cooking and as manure for agriculture and

    horticulture. Biogas is a non-poisonous and non-toxic gas which when mixed with air burns with

    blue flame, without soot or any offensive smell. The slurry is rich in nitrogen, phosphorous,

    potash and humus material. It has good applications in agriculture and horticulture.

    Use of biogas technology improves the standard of living and can directly contribute to

    economic and social development of a country.

    However, there are hurdles to implementation of these systems, including high capital

    costs, availability of economic and environmentally acceptable methods of gas processing, and

    economic means for biogas utilization. Because of these limitations, agricultural biogas

    production has remained a virtually untapped resource in the Philippines.

    Considering the opportunities and problems on the biogas production the researchers

    attempts to design a biogas digester for hog manure which is more efficient, economical and

    environmentally accepted.

    The complete design of the digester constructs a digester in larger scale for preheating of

    water at Hi-grade feeds at Bocaue, Bulacan. In addition, it can minimize the amount of municipal

    waste that can help in environmental preservation by utilizing that manure in more useful way.

    Digesters are not a new idea and have been around for a long time. Increasing

    environmental pressures on waste disposal has increased the use of digestion as a process for

    reducing waste volumes and generating useful byproducts. The purpose of all these digesters is

    to produce combustible biogas which can be burned to provide energy for a whole range of uses.

    In the United States an outreach program called AgSTAR designed to reduce methane

    emissions from livestock waste management operations by promoting the use of biogas recovery

    systems. A biogas recovery system is an anaerobic digester with biogas capture and combustion

    to produce electricity, heat or hot water. Biogas recovery systems are effective at confined

    livestock facilities that handle manure as liquids and slurries, typically swine and dairy farms.

    Anaerobic digester technologies provide enhanced environmental and financial performance

    when compared to traditional waste management systems such as manure storages and lagoons.

    Anaerobic digesters are particularly effective in reducing methane emissions but also provide

    other air and water pollution control opportunities. The AgSTAR Program has been very

    successful in encouraging the development and adoption of anaerobic digestion technology.

    Since the establishment of the program in 1994, the number of operational digester systems has

    doubled. This has produced significant environmental and energy benefits, including methane

    emission reductions of approximately 124,000 metric tons of carbon equivalents and annual

    energy generation of about 30 million kWh.3 

    Our group was able to visit and see the digester of Mr. Ric Perez in Bulacan. The Perez

    household has the simplest structure and model of the digester and this has been working for

    almost 14 years. They use this digester to produce biogas using the pig and chicken manure as

    3 www.agstar.com

    their raw materials. The biogas produce was use as a replacement for LPG as a cooking gas for

    their household. The equipment has also a safety measure. The cover of the digester is allowed to

    rise but with a limit. When the limit is achieved, bubbles in water are visible for the pressure is

    released through the water.

    Also, Mr. Ruben Mercado uses biogas as a source of energy. The biogases produced by

    the pigs are used to preheat the water for the boiler. In this case, he was able to minimize his

    usage of banker oil for the water entering the boiler is already at elevated temperature. He is

    using a lagoon which has been operating for almost five years. The design also includes safety

    measures like u- tube.

    MARKET STUDY

    Production Description

    There are varieties of gas useful as fuel. The three most commonly used worldwide are

    Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG, propane, butane), Natural gas, and Biogas4. LPG is a mixture of

    volatile fractions from petroleum refining; principally propane, butane, propylene and butylene.

    Natural Gas is a fossil fuel that was created eons ago by the anaerobic decomposition of organic

    materials. It is often found in association with oil and coal.

    Biogas is produced when bacteria breakdown organic material in the absence of oxygen,

    in a process known as anaerobic digestion. The same type of anaerobic bacteria that produced

    natural gas also produced methane today. Anaerobic bacteria are some of the oldest forms of life

    on earth.

    Biogas is generally between 60% methane, with the remainder consisting of 39% carbon

    dioxide, hydrogen sulfide and other trace gases5. Biogas burns well and can be used to provide

    energy in the form of heat or electricity. Biogas can therefore not only off-set fossil fuel imports,

    it can result in no increases, and even reductions in greenhouse gases. Methane is 30-times more

    reactive than C02 in causing global warming6.

    Use of Product

    It is used as a substitute for LPG in preheating the water upon feeding to the boiler. In

    this way we will be able to lessen the use of bunker oil because the feed water is higher than

    25ºC so heat required to convert water to steam will be lower.

    User of the Product

    It will be use by the Hi-grade feed located at Bocaue, Bulacan. The biogas will be use to

    preheat the water that is required to the boiler.

    TECHNICAL STUDY

    Description of Raw Materials

    There is a growing concern about the widespread problem brought about by the improper

    disposal of animal manure in many tributaries in the Philippines. Recent outbreak of diseases in

    some municipalities had been attributed to contaminated drinking water by the seepage of animal

    manure in the drinking water supply. Recreational activities like swimming, fishing and camping

    can be ruined. The long term consequence is the damage to aesthetic and intangible attributes of

    the streams and destruction of the economic value of clean natural waters.

    Hog production in the country has increased drastically in recent years due to rapid

    increase in population and therefore meat requirements and the waste generated becomes

    unmanageable. The Philippines produces 7.589 million metric tons of hog manure alone in

    19997.

    The raw material for biogas production must contain organically bound carbon and the

    element nitrogen which is needed by the bacteria responsible for biogas production.

    Animal manure contains a portion of volatile (organic) solids which are fats,

    carbohydrates, proteins, and other nutrients that are available as food and energy for the growth

    and reproduction of anaerobic bacteria. Pig manure is the commonly used principal raw material,

    since more biogas can be generated from pig manure’s composition. Biogas generation from

    these wastes has been proven to be technically feasible, economically viable and socially

    desirable and since our study is mainly within Hi-grade Farm, pig manure is readily available.

    Material Balance Major Assumptions

    The following assumptions are used in the production of Biogas:

    •  Biogas obeys ideal gas behavior

    •  Input slurry (diluted manure) in one day will be completely digested after 10 days

    producing total of 235.73 m3 gas based from the material balance

    •  The gas produced per day is uniform in volume meaning 23.573 m3 gas/day

    These are assumed to simplify design computations.

    ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY

    Biogas Production for Hi-Grade Feeds

    Consistent with the implementation of Presidential Decree 1586 (Philippine EIS

    System Law) with an end view of attaining and maintaining an orderly balance between

    socio-economic growth and environmental protection.

    The goal is to minimize waste, to have a more economical source of energy and fuel

    and to provide a better design for the recovery and utilization of gas in for water pre-heating

    in Hi-grade feeds. .

    I. Project Description

    A. Basic Information

    Upon proper approval, this project, the biogas production will be implemented on

    July 2006 and it will be located in Bocaue, Bulacan. Generally, the people living within the

    municipalities of Bulaon, Del Rosario, Dolores, Malino, Malpitic, Marmatad, San Nicolas,

    Santo Nino, Quebiawan, and Telabastagan are the stakeholders or the persons who may be

    significantly affected by the project. This project will be financed by the owners of the Hi-

    Grade Feeds.

    B. Project Rationale

    While maximizing biogas output from available waste materials is very significant,

    maximizing the use and application of the gas deserve equal importance.

    •  For direct heating applications, biogas is used for cooking and brooding lamps

    in heating chicks and piglets in livestock farms, for torch using fire

    disinfectant in piggery pens to replace chemical disinfectant

    •  For typical family use, biogas can be used for ironing, and as a fuel for gas

    mantle lamps, absorption-type refrigerator, in addition to cooking

    •  As fuel for internal combustion engines, biogas can be used as substitute for

    diesel or gasoline. It has a higher octane rating than both conventional

    petroleum fuels

    Whereas the sludge component can be used in a given ways:

    •  As fertilizer for plants and agricultural crops,

    •  As feed for raising fish, for vermiculture (earthworms), and for pigs

    •  Reduce dependence on foreign oil and fossil fuels

    •  It can help boost the economy

    Disadvantages

    •  Reluctance to handle animal or human excreta and to use biogas from

    these sources for pre-heating

    •  Cost of digesters, especially for most people in rural areas

    This document describes the production of biogas by transporting piggery waste of

    the Hi-grade Farm to Hi-grade feeds and thus, we aim to economically use this resource.

    Also, this project would help in improving our lives by manure a commercial value.

    D. Description of Project Phases

    1.  Pre – Operational / Construction phase

    The estimated total construction area of the digester is 25 m2  land in

    Bocaue, Bulacan. It will be located near the boiler of the feeds. There will be trial

    run before the start of operation.

    2.  Operational phase

    The digester operation will be everyday and is intended to promote biogas

    technology in rural areas.

    II. Baseline Information

    CLIMATE

    November to April is generally dry while wet form May to October. The northeast

    monsoon prevails over the sea from October to January bringing in moderated and light

    rains, the east trade winds predominate from February to April but the step of Sierra Madre

    Mountains interposes the free movement of air resulting to a dry with scanty rain during the

    period. While from May to September, the southeast monsoon prevails strong winds and

    abundant rainfall and generally associated with storm and typhoon

    GEOGRAPHY

    The western part of the province is generally flat and is drained by the Angat and

    Pampanga Rivers. Part of the western boundaries touches the extensive Candaba Swamps

    which mark the pronounced depression in range.

    POWER SOURCE

    Bocaue is fully dependent to MERALCO for its electrical power needs. Survey

    results showed that 90% of the total households in the municipality are already serviced by

    the said company.

    1. Air Impacts

    a.  CH4 

    Methane (CH4) is a greenhouse gas that remains in the atmosphere for approximately

    9-15 years. Methane is over 20 times more effective in trapping heat in the atmosphere

    than carbon dioxide (CO2) over a 100-year period and is emitted from a variety of

    natural and human-influenced sources. Human-influenced sources include landfills,

    natural gas and petroleum systems, agricultural activities, coal mining, stationary and

    mobile combustion, wastewater treatment, and certain industrial process.8 

    b.  H2S

    Hydrogen sulfide is a colorless gas with an offensive stench and is said to smell like

    rotten eggs. The gas can be detected at a level of 2 parts per billion.. Just a few breaths

    of air containing high levels of hydrogen sulfide gas can cause death. Lower, longer-

    term exposure can cause eye irritation, headache, and fatigue.

    c.  CO2 

    Carbon dioxide is a colorless, odorless, faintly acidic-tasting, and non-flammable gas

    at room temperature.

    2. Water Impacts

    a.  NH4 

    Ammonia is a gas that occurs naturally in the environment and is also manmade.

    From the biogas production, ammonia will come from the sludge withdrawn in the

    22

    digester. Ammonia is irritating to the skin, eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. Exposure to

    high concentrations can cause serious burns.9 

    IV. Impact Mitigations or Enhancement Plan

    1. Air Impacts

    a.  CH4 

    Methane (CH4) in this process is directly used after production of biogas. Pipes from

    digester to the burner will be periodically checked and make sure that there is no leakage

    2.  Water Impacts

    These compounds can be used as liquid fertilizer for the field.

     Hazards Identification

    Emergency Overview

    Methane is a colorless and odorless gas. It is not toxic; the immediate health hazard is

    that it may cause thermal burns. It is flammable and may form mixtures with air that are

    flammable or explosive. Methane is violently reactive with oxidizers, halogens, and some

    10 Webster Family Encyclopedia. 1996

  • 8/17/2019 Biogas Digester for Hi Grade Feeds Full

    30/68

     

    24

    halogen compounds. The concentrations at which flammable or explosive mixtures form are

    much lower than the concentration at which asphyxiation risk is significant.

    Potential Health Effects11

     

    Routes of Exposure: Methane is not toxic by any route. Asphyxia may result if the oxygen

    concentration is reduced to below 18% by displacement.

    Lengths of Exposure: None of the available data indicate toxicity for exposures of any

    duration.

    Severity of Effect: No effect identified.

    Target Organs: None identified.

    Type of Effect: No effect identified.

    Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: None identified.

    Medical Conditions that may be Aggravated by Exposure: None identified.

    Reported Carcinogenic and Reproductive Effects: None known to Voltaix, Inc.

    First Aid Measures12

     

    Asphyxiation

    This is the primary health risk.

    •  Remove the affected person from the gas source or contaminated area. Note: Personal

    Protective Equipment (PPE), including positive pressure, self contained breathing

    apparatus, may be required to assure the safety of the rescuer. The concentration

    required for asphyxiation is above the upper flammable limit. A boundary region, in

    25

    the flammable range, may exist between contaminated and uncontaminated areas.

    Take appropriate precaution against ignition of the atmosphere in this region.

    •  If the affected person is not breathing spontaneously, administer rescue breathing.

    •  If the affected person does not have a pulse, administer CPR.

    •  If medical oxygen and appropriately trained personnel are available, administer 100%

    oxygen to the affected person.

    •  Summon an emergency ambulance. If an ambulance is not available, contact a

    physician, hospital, or poison control center for instruction.

    •  Keep the affected person warm, comfortable, and at rest while awaiting professional

    medical care. Monitor the breathing and pulse continuously. Administer rescue

    breathing or CPR if necessary.

    Skin Contact

    No detrimental effect of skin contact has been reported. Treat thermal burns by

    assuring that affected area is cool by flushing with cool water, then apply dry sterile

    dressings. If the patient is burned on the face, neck, head, or chest, assume that the airway

    may also have been burned and obtain professional medical assistance immediately.

    Eye Contact 

    No detrimental effect of eye contact has been reported.

    Ingestion

    Ingestion is not an observed route of exposure to gaseous hazardous materials.

    Note to Physicians:

    The combustion products of methane and air are water and carbon dioxide. Under

    some conditions, carbon monoxide may also be produced.

    Accidental Release Measures

    Containment

    As these materials are gases at atmospheric conditions, the only means of

    containment is the enclosure of the space into which the materials are released.

    Evacuation 

    If the release is not contained in an appropriate device or system, all personnel not

    appropriately protected must evacuate the contaminated spaces.

    Handling and Storage

    Handling

    Handle this material only in sealed, purged systems. The design of handling systems

    for hazardous materials is beyond the scope of this MSDS, and should be performed by a

    competent, experienced professional. Consider the use of doubly-contained piping;

    diaphragm or bellows sealed, soft seat valves; backflow prevention devices; flash arrestors;

    and flow monitoring or limiting devices.

    Storage

    Gas is stored in the cover of the digesterin which its design is carefully studied.

    Stability and Reactivity

    Chemical Stability: Methane is stable.

    Conditions to Avoid: Sources of ignition, exposure to air.

    Incompatibility with Other Materials: Oxidizers, halogens and some halogen compounds.

    Hazardous Decomposition, Reaction and Oxidation (other than burning) Products:

    CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

    The decrease in bunker fuel usage of Hi-grade feeds for the boiler is our major concern in

    our study. In accordance with this, we have made a proposal study which considers all

    factors of the farm and present technology that they are using.

    After our market, technical and financial study of biogas from pig manure we came up

    the following conclusions:

    •  Hi-grade farms could increase the value of there waste by converting it to biogas

    •  Biogas can be used to save bunker fuel usage by pre-heating the water entering

    the boiler

    •  The profit on the biogas system is good because it will save amount of bunker

    fuel

    •  We bought additional equipment on year 2014 to maximize the use of hog’s

    manure since the demand in the feeds and supply in farms increases.

    For further enhance the proposed study, we recommend the following:

    •  Removal of sulfur and carbon dioxide in the biogas which will increase its value

    because it can be stored in a tank and can be sold

    •  Use of biogas as a substitute to produce electricity.

    •  Assessment of health problems. This could be done by providing proper suits to

    the employees of the feed mill to prevent them from having diseases due to the

    hog’s manure. The employees should also maintain cleanliness and orderliness

    around so they could do their jobs accordingly without hassle and worrying about

    their health.

    •  Building a digester that will meet the demand of year 2010 at the start of the

    project. The purpose of building an additional digester is to meet the demand on

    the feed mill as well as the supply of hog manure. The demand and supply is

    based on the information given to us by Engr. Teresita P. Madulid. At this year

    the number of hogs are already doubled, resulting to a 24,000 number of hogs.

    •  Possibility of transferring the boiler to the farm which means that some part of the

    process in the feed mill will also be transferred.

    -  Conversion of volatile solid broken down by bacteria to Biogas is estimatedlycomplete after 10 days. So a total of 9.82 m3 is produced 10 days after the manure

    is fed to the digester

    -  Assuming the amount of biogas produced per day is uniform, 0.982 m3 biogas isproduced everyday.

    q = -890.4 kJ/mol CH4 (1,296.497mol CH4)= -1,154,400.929 kJ

    considering heat loss of 50%,

    Since qmethane = qwater,

    qwater = mcp∆T577,200.465 kJ = (430 kg/hr)(16hr/day)(4.186 kJ/kgK)(T-25)

    T = 45.04 C

    Therefore the possible temperature that the water can be heated isT = 45.04 C

    Computation of the bunker fuel used

    Existing process (without pre heating)

    q = mcp∆T + latent heat

    = (430 kg/hr)(16hr/day)(4.186 kJ/kgK)(100-25) + 88.0 kJq = 2,160,064 kJ/day
