Performance of biogas and its benefits economic partner in the sustainable rural development of the communities altoandinas.Ancash - Peru

Abstract

In the present investigation it will benefit the rural population of the High Andean communities, that adopt biogas and biofertilizer as alternative energy and organic fertilizer, respectively; As they will have at their disposal an ecological fuel and organic fertilizer throughout the year, improving their quality of life.
For this purpose, tubular biodigesters of PVC geomembrane of 8 and 12 m3 of total volume (1.27 m in diameter and 6.7 to 10 m in length) were used, with 6 and 9 m3 of working volume, respectively, occupied By the manure mixture of cattle: water in the proportion 1: 5. Biodigesters were installed in the Andean communities.
Ancash. Peru. Based on the results obtained, at 38 days of loading the biodigester, the biogas produced reached a pressure of 10 cm of water throughout the system. For all this activity, it was required an operating time of the kitchen to biogas of two burners of 5 hours on average. Similar results were obtained in the evaluation of the biogas yield as fuel of a lamp adapted to operate to biogas.
