DESAIN ALAT PENANGKAP GAS METHAN PADA SAMPAH MENJADI BIOGAS

Abstract

Methane capture is very helpful in the development of garbage recycling system to be produced
into bio gas as a substitute for gasoline (petrol), which lately has been difficult to find.
This study aimed to design a methane capture waste, low cost and good performance made of
plastic polyethilene for a small scale. This research design produces methane capture-based plastics
polyethilene with the following specifications: biodigester with a total volume of 11 m3, 8.8 m3 of
wet volume, processing time 40 days, fulling material 220 kg / day, total area 18 m2, and has a gas
reservoir with dimensions of 4.6 m height, diameter of 0.954 m, the effective volume of 2.5 m3.
