Estimate of Sustainable Production for the Development of Biogas Systems from Animal Biomass

Abstract

The research consists in the study of rural properties with the deployment of biodigesters, having as goal the biogas and energy production estimate of these properties, based on the theoretical model proposed for the development of a biogas system from animal's waste. The results obtained showed a divergence among them, where the theoretical estimates of biogas and energy are many times greater than the actual values of production, taking only in property Starmilk as real estimate greater than the theoretical. This discrepancy between results makes not viable new biogas projects. However, this is due to the lack of information about the animals and also about factors that may influence the biogas system. It is concluded that the present research showed to be satisfactory, because it is very important for the study of the real estimate generation of biogas and energy in properties with deployment of biodigesters, bringing a greater confidence to the owner interested in the aggregation of this source of renewable energy.
