BIOGAS BASICS
Opening remarks, introduction of the Strathmore University, KIRDI and Snow Leopard cooperation project
Overview on biogas systems; basics on feedstock and gas yields, types of Biogas plants, components and machines, energy and fertilizer production
Coffee Break
Section about commissioning process / plant operation, feedstock handling, lab analysis of substrates, operation parameters, troubleshooting
SAFETY AND QUALITY CRITERIA IN BIOGAS DEVELOPMENT
Safety aspects in biogas plants, reliable and stable system operation, explosion and fire protection, risk assessment and mitigation, healthy operation
Coffee Break
Workshop: Practical session on the calculation and rough dimensioning of a biogas plant. The trainer will guide the attendees on creating a biogas dimensioning model from scratch. In the process substrates will be introduced and can be varied by quantity and quality, biogas yields and methane content will be added and energy production will be calculated. The result will be a biogas dimensioning model from substrates to energy production
