Success Story - Biogas based Captive Power Generation & Composting Project

BIO-GAS BASED CAPTIVE POWER GENERATION CUM
COMPOSTING PROJECT

A demonstration project on bio-gas based electricity generation & composting (by NADEP method) was installed and commissioned in NOVEMBER’1997at Shree Idar Panjrapole Sanstha based on about 300 - 350 cattles.

Salient features of the project is as follows:
 

Sr.No.

ITEM DETAILS

1.

Plant capacity

  • 85 m3/day plant for captive power generation

1*85 M3/day

 

2.

Plant model

40 days HRT , vertical kVIC model

3.

Daily dung requirement for both the plants

2250 kgs/day

4.

Gas utilisation

  • Electricity generation

10 KVA/8KW capacity dual fuel Diesel Gen set.

5.

  • Daily units generation

  • gas supply for cooking

  • Manure production

average. 110 –120 units /day

5 - 6 hrs daily

1200 ton/year

6.

Total cost of the project

Rs. 6.50 lacs

7.

Recurring expenditure /annum

Rs. 1.67 lacs

8.

SAVINGS :

  • As electricity bill

@ Rs. 3.67/unit

 

  • Manure sale/use for composting @ Rs. 500/- ton

  • Net savings /year

47450 * 3.67

= 1.8607 lacs /year approx.

1200* 500

= 6.00 lacs /year

approx.

Rs. 6.20 lacs.

 

ASSUMPTIONS /RECOMMENDATIONS

  • Power sale @ Rs.2.25/unit.
  • Market value of compost manure @ Rs. 500/- tonn.However, Shree Idar Panjrapole Sanstha is doing marketing of organic manure @ 1000/-ton.
  • Land should be made free of cost for plant construction and composting pits from the beneficiary.
  • GEDA may extend support (only non-recurring cost on setting up biogas plant, diesel generating set and construction of composting pits)considering the proposal under institutional Bio-gas Plant category. And no financial assistance is provided on purchase of cowdung , consumables ,raw materials for composting i.e. soil,organic matter & arranging supporting facilities e.g.transportation etc.
  • Rate for procurring raw material/ingredients for composting activity have been taken @ 200/-ton – organic waste AND @ 200/- per trolley-Soil.
  • Recurring cost factor being variable may effect the complete economic viability of the project reducing the proft margin.
  • The salaries /wages have been taken into account keeping in view the project set in rural areas and with no marketing infrastructure set up.


P.S. The above analysis is based on certain assumptions, ideal site conditions. So, the actual proposals may be prepared only after intrested gaushala/panjrapole site visit.
