Automated Biogas Production for Electricity Supply at CEPAP

According to INEI, 42% of rural areas in the Peruvian jungle do not have electricity. This work develops the production of automated biogas to supply CEPAP with electricity. For the development of biogas production, 84 tons/month of organic matter was used, which degrades the matter with anaerobic digestion with a hydraulic retention of 40 to 60 days, modelling the architecture of the system using SolidWorks considering the biodigester, servovalves, pressure sensor, valves, jeanbacher motor while the programming was done in TIA PORTAL to improve the behaviour of biogas production and saw through a PLC S7-1200 1214 DC/DC/DC and a HMI TP700 this allows the operator to control what happens inside the biodigester. Finally, the Jenbacher 1xJ208 engine runs on biogas, for which it was supplied with 3360 m3/month of biogas, covering the electrical requirement of 37.84 Kw/day, which will be able to supply CEPAP with electricity for 15 days. In addition to this, there is the use of biol, which will be packaged for use as fertiliser in agriculture.
