摘要:Ranches of Mexico’s southeast region have an important energetic potential on their organic waste that remains unexploited. The objective of this work is to present the construction and operation of a floating dome “Biodigester” in a ranch located in Jalapa, Tabasco, Mexico, in addition to the analysis of produced biogas and its electric energy generation. The construction was based in the specifications of a Puxin® biogas plant. The biogas was analyzed using infra-red spectrometry with Fourier transforms. Electric energy was generated using an Energetic ® motor-generator. The methane and carbon dioxide percentage at 90 days of hydraulic retention time (HRT) was 51.51 and 29.05%, respectively. The electric energy generation was 3.58 kWhm-3.
