7.2. Expected gas production
If the daily amount of available dung (fresh weight) is known, gas production will approximately correspond to the following values:
|
1 kg cattle dung |
0.04 m³ biogas |
|
1 kg buffalo dung |
0.03 m³ biogas |
|
1 kg pig dung |
0.06 m³ biogas |
|
1 kg chicken droppings |
0.07 m³ biogas |
If the live weight of all animals whose dung is put into the biogas plant is known, the daily gas production will correspond to the following values:
|
cattle, buffalo and chickens |
0.0015 m³ biogas/day per 1 kg live weight |
|
pigs |
0.003 m³ biogas/day per 1 kg live weight. |
Where cattle are only partly stabled the gas quantity is reduced in the relation: number of hours to 24-hour day.
