Energy of the field for the field

Description

Considering the problems that are presented in the field related with the lack of available energy is presented, the Biogas like energy alternative. This is a resulting product of the fermentation anaerobic (without air) of the organic residuals under appropriate conditions of humidity. It is a mixture of gases in which they prevail: Methane (CH4) in a 55 to 70 percent, Dioxide of Carbon (CO2) in a 28 to 43 percent and others as the hydro sulphide by 2 percent. The composition of the biogas depends of: the quality of the used material, of the biodigestor type, of the ambient temperature, of the adopted time of retention. Some of the advantages of the use of this alternative are: better sanitary conditions in the rural means. Decrease in the consumption of inorganic fertilizers. Increase of the agricultural productivity with the employment of the Bio fertilizing (20/25 bigger percent) in comparison with the fresh manure; conservation of natural resources as fuels, fossils and firewood; energy production in the own local consumption. Perfect ecological solution for the obtaining of renewable energy and bio fertilizing
