Description
Summary:Human activity uses longest energy source is Biomass The organic waste and industrial waste water undergoes anaerobic digestion process produces biogas which is pure and nature friendly. This paper investigates production of biogas and electricity from water hyacinth. It is worlds highly unfavorable aquatic weed as it forms on water surface un traversable floating mats. This plant is suspended on water surface as the carbon to nitrogen ration of the plant is high it can be used for biogas production. Biogas mainly contains sixty per cent of methane. This present paper based on methane which is used as fuel for running IC engine and from that electricity can be generated. Biogas plant working model is studied and an evaluation of performance is done with respect to economy as an alternative fuel. Also the briquette making machine was developed from the waste which is obtained from biogas plant.
