Abstract:
The use of renewable energy is one of the most important issues which are to be solved nowadays in the general context of increasing energy demand. A possible solution to this problem is using residual materials to produce biogas, a biofuel commonly used in firing processes to produce heat and energy. The present paper presents a small scale comparative experiment designed to show the potential of municipal wastewaters and agricultural residual material in terms of biogas quality and quantity. The small scale installation used for testing is located at the Mechanical Engineering Faculty, Politehnica University Timisoara. Conclusions will be traced relative to the obtained results in order to determine the possible applications of the produced biogas.
