Structural, technological and energy parameters of a biogas installations for providing a heat supply and ventilation system on the example of a cowshed ob-ject

Abstract

Relevance: optimizing energy consumption and utilizing environmentally friendly energy sources are crucial today. The results of this study demonstrate the potential for improving the energy efficiency of biogas plants, saving natural fuel, recycling waste to reduce environmental impact, and ensuring autonomous energy supply.

Aim: to calculate the design and technological parameters, as well as the methane tank sizes, of a biogas plant designed to provide heating and ventilation for a cowshed with a volume of 6000 m³ and capacity for 300 heads of cattle.

Methods: through analysis of monthly biogas production indicators, key parameters such as annual and specific production rates, and the energy efficiency of the plant were determined.

Results: the use of this plant allows for saving 4.14 tons of equivalent fuel per year. The conducted energy analysis confirms that the plant's energy consumption for its own needs is 34% of the total biogas produced, demonstrating its effectiveness in providing autonomous thermal microclimate.
