Projektarbeit aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich Energiewissenschaften, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: A small scale floating drum biodigester was constructed with low cost, recyclable materials and the biogas generated was optimised with an aim to get the best possible combination of parameters to yield optimum biogas through the aid of a Mini-tab software version 17.0. The volume of biogas produced was 0.098 cubic meters, while the optimisation temperature was 28.4 degrees Celsius, being the highest temperature recorded and pH was 7.1. The initial capital invested took 17 years to breakeven.
