CRITERIA FOR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION BIOGAS PLANT IN INDIVIDUAL FARMS
Biogas – one of the promising areas of generation and use of renewable energy resources. In manycountries, farmers are considered as promising sites for the production and use of biogas. Due to the largevariations in the quantity and quality of raw materials, modalities and goals of the design of biogas plantsare not formalized and is based on practical experience of the developers. It is shown that the criticalparameters in the design of biogas digesters are a source of raw materials, the amount of energy consumedby household and accommodation. Considered criteria (power, size, equipment, modes of operation, safety,etc.), which have a decisive influence on the structure and functional composition of BSU for farms. Variantsof technological schemes of individual bioreactors, as well as the characteristics of farms that should beconsidered when designing the BSU. Rationally designed BSU improves energy efficiency andenvironmentally friendly agricultural production.
