Introduction to 45 m³/day Biogas Plant at Uday Farm, Ramnagar Campus
A 45 cubic meter per day capacity institutional biogas plant is installed at Uday Farm, Ramnagar campus, operated primarily using local cow dung collected from the Gaushala. The plant has been developed by Charuttar Agro. Producers & Processors Pvt. Ltd. (CAPPL), Mogar, and is designed to sustainably treat organic waste and produce clean, renewable biogas for cooking and energy needs on campus.
Project Layout
Key Plant Components (as per layout)
- Digester (1): Anaerobic digestion of cow dung and organic waste to generate biogas.
- Inlet Chamber (2): Entry point of mixed slurry into the digester.
- Outlet Chamber (3): Discharge of digested slurry for further processing.
- Water Tank (4): Used for mixing and process needs.
- Waste Mixing Tank (5): Equipped with a 1 HP motorized mixer to ensure homogeneous feed slurry.
- Dung Collection Tank (6): Collects cow dung from the Gaushala before mixing.
- Shredder cum Organic Waste Disposer (7 & 8): For processing kitchen and organic waste before digestion.
- Raw Feed Storage Tank (9): 10,000-liter capacity for storing prepared feedstock.
- Digested Slurry Storage (10): For temporary holding of digested effluent.
- Solid/Liquid Separator (11): Dewatering system to separate manure solids from liquid.
- Slurry Pits (12): Final storage of treated slurry; can be reused as biofertilizer.
♻️ Function and Benefits
- Converts approximately 1.5 to 2 tons of cow dung and organic waste daily into biogas.
- Supplies renewable energy for campus cooking (hostel/canteen) or heating.
- Generates nutrient-rich bio-slurry, which can be reused in agricultural fields.
- Reduces methane emissions from unmanaged dung and waste.
- Promotes sustainable waste management in a rural institutional setting.
