Role of Super Hybrid Napier Grass for Biogas (CNG) Production-Dr. P. C. Patel

Super Hybrid Napier Grass for Biogas Production:
Super Hybrid Napier
What is Special?
1. Fast Growth: It has the fastest growth of 10 feet in 59 days
2. High Yield: 12.5 tons per acre and 8 harvests per year. In other words, 200 tons per acre, which can feed 20 dairy cows for 12 months.
3. Best Nutrition: The presence of 16-18 % protein is very important for animals particularly for dairy cows to produce more milk.
4. All Weather Friendly Growth: It is drought resistant and can grow in any kind of location irrespective of wet or dry season. The only need is the soil rich in organic matter which makes it perfectly suitable for the Indian subcontinent.
5. Easy Storage: This has water-soluble carbonate 18, which means no need to add additives to store this plant(silage).

Result and conclusion:
A study conducted at Biofics Pvt. Ltd, Surat, Gujarat, India. In the first study, the biogas produced from this sample using microbial treatment had a methane concentration of 62.3% (6.0 Kg biogas from 100 kg green fodder of Hybrid Napier grass, i.e.; 6.0 %). In the second case, 80 kilograms of raw material was processed using chemical treatment (1% NaOH solution) to yield 6.9 metric cubes of biogas in just seven days. The biogas produced from this sample had a methane concentration of 61.5% (6.5 Kg biogas from 100 kg green fodder of Hybrid Napier grass, i.e.; 6.5 % biogas). So 1.0 % NaOH produced slightly higher (0.5 % only) than microbial treatment.
Conclusion:
From both studies, we can conclude that microbial treatment and chemical (base) treatment were required to obtain a higher yield of biogas from Napier grass. The results of the investigations indicate that both provide comparatively similar yield and microbial treatment was more cost-effective and easier than chemical treatment.

Its a good Idea for coming up entrepreneur 👍👍

Is there any Bio cng plant runninng on 100% from napier grass ?

Hi sir ,
What will be capacity of CNG plant if we go with 150 acers of napier grass for 365 days
