Question
Primary sludge with a flow (Q) of 160 m3/d will be digested in a mesophilic anaerobic
digester. The TS content and VS/TS ratio of the sludge is %4 and 0.75, respectively.
Vs destruction efficiency is %40. If the biogas is utilized in a CHP unit with an
electric conversion efficiency of %38, calculate how much electricity can be
generated daily?
Assumptions: Density of sludge
= 1000 kg/m3, COD:VS = 1.65, Methane yield = 0.35
m/kg CODremoved, 1 m³ methane (STP) = 10 kWh
