Manual Refill Biogas Machine Case Study
Career episode 1
a) Introduction
The project on “Manual Refill Biogas machine” was completed in my Bachelor’s degree of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) at Pacific University my work began in August 2013 till May 2014.
PE1.1
Duration: August 2013 to May 2014
Location: Place, India
Name of the organization: Pacific University
Position Title: Project Engineer (Mechanical Engineer)
b) Background
PE1.1 This project developed the design and construction of a Manual refill biogas machine that would address the problem of storage & transportation because biogas is produced in big stores it only serves to be used around that radius. People living on farms and rural areas don’t have access to it. So the Manual refill biogas machine will create …show more content…
The other technological development is biogas in digesters which limits the use for biogas in cooking, water heating e.g. A biogas production machine that allows people to refill their biogas cylinders will be a technological development that would solve problems for not only people in the rural areas but in the future for those in urban areas due to its ease and accessibility. From research & investigations into biogas plant projects I found that the lack of proper planning & efficient deign resulted in suboptimal biogas operation. As Biogas is a natural source of energy it is an emerging technology which will help per capital energy consumption in the future.
From my findings in literature review I applied my understanding of the production & purification system & also understood the benefits such as reduction in greenhouse gases in further details. Which motivated me even more to complete the project as it was environmentally friendly and not leaving and harmful footprint behind.
An example of the literature used in this project was journals & research papers on biogas & anaerobic digesters such as:
Walsh J. L., Ross, C. C., Smith, M. S., Stephen. R., Harper, W., Wilkins, A., 1988. Handbook on biogas utilization. U. S. Department of Energy.
Pillars, R., Undated. Farm-based anaerobic digesters. Michigan State University Extension.
