Abstract

Biogas is a flammable gas produced by the fermentation of organic materials by anaerobic bacteria (bacteria that live in airtight conditions). In general all types of organic matter can be processed to produce biogas, however only homogeneous organic matter (solid, liquid) such as feces and urine (urine) of human livestock are suitable for simple biogas systems. In areas where there are many food processing industries, such as tofu, tempeh, fish, pindang or brem, they can integrate their waste channels into the biogas system, so that industrial waste does not pollute the surrounding environment. This is possible because the industrial waste mentioned above comes from homogeneous organic materials. Smoggy biogas fuel is a superior substitute for fuel oil or natural gas. This gas, produced in a process called anaerobic digestion, is a gas mixture of methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO 2) and small amounts of nitrogen, ammonia, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and hydrogen. Naturally, this gas is formed in sewerage, garbage piles, lake or swamp beds. Mammals including humans produce biogas in their digestive system, bacteria in the digestive system produce biogas for the digestion of cellulose. Biomass which contains high water content such as animal manure and food processing waste is suitable for use as raw material for making biogas.
