Bio-gas digestion
system
Methane Gas
• The combustion of methane is a very exothermic
reaction (ΔH = -891 kJ/mol)
• Main component of "natural gas“
• Can be found
 Underground
 Swamps and marshes
 Livestock (methanogenic bacteria)
Something we may not know
• Cow can produce a lot of gas per day
How to
• Simple equipment to recreate “fart”
• Create methane using daily food waste
• vegetables
• fruit
Lab
• Create a smaller scale system
• Measure how much gas produce per
pound of food
• Using the result to calculate the energy
the process can produce
Product
• Gas (methane)
• Fertilizer
