Diseño de un sistema de generación de energía eléctrica a partir de residuos de ganado porcino

Abstract

Is this Project is presented a proposal for the use energy of organic waste of the farm’s pigs “El Recreo” located in the vicinity of the municipality of Guadalajara de Buga. It was proposed synergistic between efficient handling of waste, power generation and reduction of operational costs of the farm, through the implementation of a low-cost system of biogas production and power generation, in order to check the tropology of the land, and determine the number of animals and its productive stage a visit to the farm was made. Whit the information obtained, it was possible to calculate the energy potencial of waste, were designed the auxiliary systems for the purification of biogas, and selected the power generator and electrical components. The materials were 3,8” PVC pipes and fittings for its low cost and resistance to corruption. The condensate trap design, the H2S filter, and the CO2 absorption system, in this Project was made thinking about low complexity and reduction of installation costs the selected power generation plant () allows a continuous generation of power from 1200W for 4 hours. This represents a monthly saving of $ $ 77.094 pesos to the farm. An electrical system based on a manual transfer was designed, which is the one that selects whether the electrical circuit operates with the general network or with the generation plant. Finally, an economic analysis of the system.
