Abstract
In this communication, a simple transient analysis of a horizontal floating gas holder type biogas plant integrated with a panel of collectors through a heat exchanger placed inside it has been developed. Analytical expressions for slurry and gas temperature as a function of collector, as well as climatical parameters have been derived to predict the transient behaviour of the biogas plant. In order to appreciate the performance of the proposed biogas plant, numerical calculations have been carried out for a typical cold day in Delhi, 16 January 1982. On the basis of the numerical results, it is observed that the slurry temperature can be increased up to a required temperature for necessary fermentation to produce biogas. The increase of slurry temperature depends on the area of the collector panel for a fixed capacity of plant.
