Diseño de un sistema de generación de bioenergía a partir de biomasa mediante excretas porcinas en la Granja Salto de Padrón del Municipio del Espinal (Tolima)

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to carry out a technical-economic design of a bioenergy generation system from biomass, using pig excreta in the Salto de Padrón farm in the municipality of Espinal (Tolima). To this end, the aim is to design a biodigester that makes it possible to take advantage of pig excreta as an energy resource, both to produce biogas that allows replacing the current propane gas pipettes, in their domestic use for cooking food, as well as for the generation of electrical energy that allows to illuminate the garage, where 50 pigs are established, using an electric generator. From the different types of biodigesters that exist, it is intended to carry out a study with 3 of them, which allows defining the most appropriate for the generation of bioenergy according to the characteristics of the farm and the installation costs.
