Rancang Bangun Alat Penghasil Biogas dari Plastik Polietilen

Abstract

Biogas is a gas the can be produced from anaerobic fermentation of organic matters such as animal or human’s feces, agricultural wastes, or their combination in a digester. In this research the biogas was produced from mixture of cow dung and paddy hay. The aim of this research was to design of a drift biogas producer which was easy to be assembled, cheap, and had a best performance. The result of this experiment showed that the polyethylene digester had a: capacity of 0,25 m3, wet volume 0,2 m3, retention time 68 days, pressure 6,6350 psi, biogas volume of 0,6216 m3, flame time 9135 second (152,3 minute or 2,5 hour), and cost of production Rp 94,6 /litre. Biogas can be applied in a gas stove as for cook.
