Abstract:

A case study of an innovative medium sized commercial-industrial bioenergy plant is portrayed. This plant effectively runs on various agricultural waste feedstocks like; animal-manure, vegetable, poultry and sugar wastes etc. The plant design is based on anaerobic fixed dome triple digester system connected via underground lagoon. Thus system is facilitating continuous flow of the input feedstock capacity up-to four tonnes per day. This modern scheme is built on innovation with the inclusion of mechanical stirrers, gas scrubbers, filtration, compression and storage systems. This research paper highlighted the potential techno-economic impacts of such bioenergy plant for the energy stressed small-medium industrial sector in developing countries like Pakistan. It has the capability of 142 MWh energy generations per year; rate of return 15.42% and employment growth prospects in SME sector up-to 55%.
