Our A to Z commitment
Market potential in India
Cattle dung alone can generate ~4.9
X 107 m3 (~5000 MW) of biogas
from 980 million tones produced
annually in India (ref: CRDT, IIT-
Delhi)
Only ~5% of the potential is utilized
till date that too in a decentralized
manner and in unorganized sector
There are many additional substrate
e.g. de oiled cake, poultry dropping,
cow-dung, energy crops like
napiergrass, maize etc. apart from the

Period of Functioning
• System can be used for cooking, vehicle filling and power generation
Bio gas utility
Biogas Technology- Setup Design
(I) Gas Generation System
(II) Gas Purification System
(III) Gas Distribution System
Components of biogas system
Feeding System
• Depending on type of biogas plant, all bio-degradable material can be fed into the digester. The raw material may need to be crushed and mixed with water/outlet slurry and feed into the digester.
Gas Generation System
• The digester is the heart of the biogas plant. Biogas production is an anaerobic microbial process which takes place in the digester. The process involves the combined action of four different steps i.e. a. Hydrolysisb. Acidogenicc. Acetogenicd. Methanogenic
Gas Distribution System
• Biogas produced into digester is either enriched or distributed through pipeline to the households mainly for cooking purpose. The biogas can be distributed with equal pressure with the help of GPRS (Gas Pressure Regulating System) developed by Excellent.
Gas Enrichment System
• The produced biogas can be enriched with the help Low-Scrubbwater scrubbing technology developed by Excellent. The enriched biogas is equivalent to natural gas quality and can be used as vehicle fuel after compression or for any other purpose

Project Experience-I
Village : Bhitmudrak
Biogas Plant : KVIC Floating dome 85 cum/day x 2 with GPRS
Telescopic Length of pipeline : 2500 m serving to 121 households
Completion date : March 07
Project Uniqueness-I
First time the model project based in Bhitbhudrak showed the importance of social engineering along with technology to make biogas a success.
The traditional KVIC design was modified.
Gas pressure regulating system (GPRS): with the help of GPRS the gas is distributed to the 121 house holds at equal pressure even at far distance.
The telescopic length of pipeline in the village is 2500 mtrs.
Socio-economic benefit
The villagers are facilitated with cleaner and consistent source of energy for cooking.Improved economics of village:
By way of providing more earnings from dung.By way of improved crop production because of use of organic fertilizer.
Improved health and hygiene:Providing smoke free atmosphere into kitchen.Providing cleaner environment in to village.
Project Experience-II
Village : Vegam Biogas Plant : KVIC Floating dome 85 cum/day with common sanitation Telescopic Length of pipeline : 1017 m No of connections : 60 households Completion date : October 08
Project Uniqueness-II
Feedstock is cow dung with Night soil
Effective means for the sanitary disposal of human excreta
Due to decomposition of night soil in biogas unit the most of the disease causing organisms are killed.
The problem of waste disposal is solved at the family level itself
The villagers could get the cooking gas along with organic fertilizer in form of vermi-compost
Socio-economic benefit
Project Experience-III

Low Pressure Water Scrubbing
The raw biogas is enriched withthe help of indigeneous lowpressure water scrubbingtechnology
Since the end use point is faraway (around 15 Kms) from theplant location, the enriched gas,equivalent to CNG is filled intocylinder cascades at high pressureand transported to the canteen forend use.
Upgraded biogas is also filled inthe vehicle
Biogas enrichment system at village bakrol, Vadodara, Gujarat
Capacity: 20 cum/hr
Cascade filling
Vehicle filling
Capacity 20 m3 raw biogas per hour
End use: Cooking
Why Low Pressure Water Scrubbing?
Rotary blowers are more reliable than reciprocating compressors
Less maintenance
No lubrication required
Safe
No hassles of approval for Low-Scrubb working under 1 barg
Simplicity in operation
