Abstract

Abstract: Biomethanation is a feasible and effective method of production of bio-methane from organic waste which can counter the escalating demand of fossil fuels.Reduced production of bio-methane during winter is well known problem, which was eliminated by the change of materialof organic waste feed stock passage amalgamated with solar heating. There were so many cases reported related to digester failure due to over pressure of biogas. Few retrofitting were proposed for the automation of the process of biomethanation in order to avoid digester failure and subsequent huge financial and life loss.
