| Abstract | Increasing demand for fossil fuels and escalating prices of chemical fertilizers has been the Primary source of motivation for this project. . Today we basically utilize fossil fills to warmth and force our homes and fuel our autos. It is advantageous to utilize coal, oil, and natural gas for meeting our energy needs, yet we have a constrained supply of these fuels on the Earth. We are utilizing it more quickly than they are being made. Eventually,they will run out .Today there is a burning need of an alternative fossil fuel in light of the fact that the fossil energizes are getting terminated. Consequently it is important to discover alternative source of energy. This point will make us aware that the press-mud which is a waste of sugarcane industries can be utilized to produce biogas. With a specific end goal to deliver biogas from press mud, press mud is permitted to ferment anaerobically in a digester for 3-4 hours at a temperature of 35-40 ̊C. Constructional points of interest, procedure subtle elements and creation of required data are expounded later. The biogas produced from this process is further scrubbed to remove the sulphur content for being used as a fuel. Moreover this plant can be mounted on a skid so that biogas can be produced anywhere and at any place. As in India, particularly the western Maharashtra is known for its sugarcane production, this thought may play a crucial part in India. |
