ENERGY EFFICIENCY ANALYSIS OF A BIOGAS PLANT WITH HEAT RECOVERY OF WASTE EFFLUENT HEAT

https://doi.org/10.15518/isjaee.2015.05.006

Abstract

The paper considers methane fermentation technology of bio waste fermentation with heat recovery of waste effluent heat. In order to improve the energy efficiency of a biogas plant the authors propose technological scheme of waste heat recovery effluent, which allows using biogas plants in regions with low average annual temperature. Based on the technique of thermal and thermodynamic analysis it is comparatively assessed the energy efficiency of two biogas plants:  the traditional and the recovery of waste heat of the effluent. The paper presents a detailed calculation of digester thermal and energetic efficiency, because it is a key unit of the scheme of the apparatus. The use of heat pump in biogas plant heating system will increase the thermal efficiency of the scheme from 39% to 46%, and the exergy efficiency from 6% to 31%.
