Dear Peers & Colleagues,
It is high time MOO-ve-OVER WIND AND SOLAR Energy - COW DUNG IS HERE.
Cow dung gas is 55-65% methane, 30 - 35% Co2 with some hydrogen, nitrogen and other traces. Its heating value is around 600 BTU per cubic foot.
Natural gas consists of around 80% methane yielding BTU value of about 1000.
Bio-gas may be improved by filtering it through lime water to remove co2, iron fillings to absorb corrosive hydrogen sulphide and calcium chloride to extract water vapor after the other two process.
cow dung slurry is composed of 1.8 - 2.4% nitrogen (N2) , 1 - 1.2% p2o5 , 06 - 08 % k20 and 50 - 75 % organic humus.
about 1 cubic foot of gas may be generated from 1 pound of cow manure at 28c. this is enough gas to cook a days meal for 4-6 people in India.
about 1-7 cubic meters of bio-gas equals 1 litre of petrol. The manure produced by 1 cow in 1 year can be converted to methane which is equivalent of over 225lts of petrol/gasoline.
now the question - is it possible ?
need your inputs
regards
Rajesh
