Desenvolvimento de um biodigestor de tambor metálico, para obtenção de biogás e biofertilizantes a partir de esterco bovino e/ou equino para uso em comunidades rurais do Amazonas

Abstract

The alternative sources of energy are gaining more and more space nowadays, and due to the increase in aggravating the pollution of the air and soil. The biodigester, the outfit that turns organic matter into biogas, has become more popular and catch the attention of rural communities. The lack of appropriate destination to the waste of animals on farms is a serious problem, because directly affect the soil and the air and in large amounts, and the lack of information makes it difficult the life of these communities, that know not the evil that it will cause. This project aims to scale up and to develop a model of biodigester drum metal for the production of biogas and biofertilizers, from the decomposition of manure, equine or bovine, which can be found in many rural communities of our state, and to use the biogas as a substitute for gas LPG, so that you can use it in many different ways. This model of the biodigester is very simple, easy to construct, safe, and inexpensive, and has the same efficiency than more complex models. The methodology used was exploratory and descriptive research, based on research in published books and articles, to facilitate the understanding in the study and development of this work.
