Conversion of organic waste of Gidan Kwano campus of the Federal University of Technology Minna to biogas Department: Civil Engineering By: captainonuh1414 Project ID: 6354 Rating: (5.0) votes: 1Rate this project12345 Price:₦3000 Get the Complete MaterialAbstractSeveral measures have been taken to dispose permanently of organic wastes generated from agricultural, municipal and industrial sources, but there is still yet to be administered, the most appropriate method that leaves behind no side effects. Considering also the impact of the ever increasing price of fossil fuel on the economy, these fossil fuel burns to emit greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which accumulatively destroys the earth’s ozone layers. The use of methane gas which is gotten from organic wastes which cause nuisance to humans and the environment can successfully replace fossil fuel. In this study, a mixture of human faeces, poultry dropping, and sawdust was co-digested under mesophilic conditions (300 - 350). The pH of the slurry was observed at an interval of seven days and agitation was made at four days interval by a steel stirrer to avoid the formation of scum at the surface of the slurry which would hinder the formation of biogas. A biogas of 200ml was produced at the end of 80 days, which shows for optimum production of biogas, not all wastes can be co-digested but if they must be, then agents that can catalyze the process should be introduced. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Civil Engineering project topics and materials you might be interested in»Comparing the compressive strength of concrete made with sand as fine aggregate and with chipping dust as fine aggregate»The comparative study of the compressive strength of concrete made with granite to that made with river round stone (pebble) and local stone»The use of computer in civil engineering»Importance of timber in civil engineering construction»Construction and Installation of a Panel Door»Construction of wardrobe key study on wood work»Effect of street trading on traffic performance and control»Assessment of different types of foundation and their mode of construction»Comparison of soil bearing capacity of different locations in Imo state»Investigation into the suitability of sand and gravel materials commonly used in building construction»Investigating the effect of partial replacement of cement with eggshell powder in concrete production»An investigation in to the causes of cracks in building and possible solutions - a case study of Kukar Gesa community in Katsina metropolis»Suitability of available laterite material in Ilorin East local government area for road construction»Determination of the causes, effects of environmental pollution and its possible control within Kwara and Osun state»Model for prediction of rainfall intensity in Lagos
