AN INVESTIGATION OF COMPRESSION AND PURIFICATION OF BIOGAS AND IT’S USE FOR DOMESTIC INSTANT WATER HEATING APPLICATION

In this work a method of compressing, purification and storing of biogas is investigated. A burner is designed and developed for instant water heating application by using bio gas. Experimentation is carried out with purified and unpurified bio gas and the parameter like total quantity of water heated, maximum temperature of water, mass flow rate of bio gas are measured. The results are compared with LPG geyser. It is found that biogas can be a good replacement for LPG for domestic instant water heating application.
