| Abstract | The use of biogas digestion ha s definite advantage on
environment and h ygene of the rural community.
Unfortunately, this cannot be easily quantified. Thus
co nstruction of digesters ha s to be justified economical l y
on the consumption of gas and slurry alone.
In the case of relatively small Thai pig farms, the
energy usage in the farm household and piggery is sufficient
to make small digesters economically viable . However these
are not adequate to treat all the manure of the farm.
Consideration should be given to other agricultural needs
for energy not related to pig rearing and household sector.
The other area that needs to be studied is the application
of the digester slurry as a fertilizer. |
