THE PROBLEMATIC THE PROBLEMATICF.X. Aguilar, 2001 Use of firewood for cooking Environmental impact (CO 2, forest) Development of illnesses Demand of labor Non appropriate management of excrements Contamination of sources of water Production of gases (sulphur, methane) Increase of vectors of human and animal diseases Dissemination of diseases and weeds Loss of nutrients

BIODIGESTION PROCESS Conditions for biogas productionConditions Production of methanemethane Production of organic fertilizer - effluenteffluent BIODIGESTION PROCESSF. X. Aguilar, 2001

PRODUCTION OF BIOGAS AND ORGANIC FERTILIZERF. X. Aguilar, 2001 Fresh excrementDaily application Temperature range30-35°C internal / x ‹15°C C/N rate30 / 1 Anaerobic systemmethanogenic bacteria pH Time frame 30 days until production CONDITIONS FOR BIOGAS PRODUCTION Back

WHY DAILY APPLICATION? Continuous anaerobic digestion process 1. Acid-forming-liquefaction Bacteria hydrolyse and ferment organic compounds (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, etc.) High production of acids (especially acetic acid) pH ranging from 5.1 to 6.8 Reduction in volume WHY DAILY APPLICATION? Back 2. Gasification Organic acids used to produce methane gas (acetic acid ~ 70%) Optimum performance when temperature 30°C pH ranging from 7.2 to 7.4 If there is rise or fall of temperature more than 10°C from the optimum value listed above, the bacteria stop working and methane gas production stops altogether.
